My 1981 GS 1100

[Guest]

Hello I have had my first gs 750 back in the 80's I loved that bike so much I don t have words to describe it, I own several bikes 1 kz 1000 1 KZ 1000 J model (1260) and 1 Kz 900(1260) street drag Yamaha R1 and I am restoring a 2008 Busa,now I bought a 1981 GS 1100 from Rhode Island.
The bike is in really good shape but I want to do some upgrades on a budget don't want to spend a fortune on it.the reason I bought it is because I love Suzukis and my has a 1981 GS 750 and kind of keep up with my kz 1000 and now he is doing an GS 1100 so I can't really let him get away with that.
SO here I am starting to get soaked with the GS people.
I know a lot about bikes I have builded my KZ engine and is amazingly well done I am even surprised myself how good it came out, after passing trough few motorcycle shops charging *@%^$*@%^$*@%^$*@%^$ loads of money and having to come home to rectify what they done wrong I gave up and started to do my own work by error and trial have succeeded keeping my bikes a subject of jealousy.

Welcome to the site.
With your resume of past Kawi builds you probably won't need a lot of help but the guys here know EVERYTHING about the GS, so feel free to ask.
How about a couple pics of your new ride.

Welcome! I too am newer to this forum and have me a 81' gs1100e I'm currently working through to have as a rider here this spring. I had an 81' gs750e back in 88' put of high school and have missed it dearly since then so I was more then stoked to find this 1100.
