Modified '83 GS1100E
I'm back...
After a number of years without a bike, due to my wife's concerns, I came across a modified '83 GS1100E with a built engine. Suffice it to say the bike was set up the way I wanted to go with the last two I had owned; both '82s. So, I went to the mat to make it mine.
It has been converted to a GSX-R 1100 front end and swingarm. The engine has a decked and ported head; it also has a big bore kit; full Dyna ignition, Mikuni Flat Slides and pod filters. A Pingle was added to the tank for fuel delivery and it has a Vance & Hines exhaust giving it an unmistakable roar.
Since I purchased the bike I installed a Renthal handlebar, new grips, new turn signals, a JW Speaker Evolution II LED headlight and a smoke Mohawk windscreen. I'm going to have the carbs gone through, new EBC High Performance brake pads installed and the exhaust header ceramic coated. After that I'll have the bike reshot so the front fender matches the Suzuki red.
I went for a tasteful blend of vintage and modern:
