I hate when this happens:
-
1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red
2016 XL883L sigpic Two-tone blue and white. Almost 42 hp! Status: destroyed, now owned by the insurance company. The hole in my memory starts an hour before the accident and ends 24 hours after. -
...and what caused that to happen?'83 GS650G

The city is like one big construction site. A roller coaster.

Doesn't look like it. It's loose where the megaphone meets the collector.
I rode home with my right foot holding it up most of the way. Those exhaust gases get hot - wouldn't have worked with flip-flops!1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red

it certainly looks odd, but if that's the way it balanced, what else can be done?Originally posted by derwood View Post1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red

Excellent idea. I was once near a dealership when the handle bar choke cable dismounted itself. Zip tie did the trick. That's what's holding the megaphone in place now until I go for a bolt, nut and some washers in a little while.Originally posted by isleoman
And zip ties. I'm going to stash some under the seat in the rear compartment. That's about all that will fit there.

Interesting. I don't see any mention of tubes on their web site. Anyone know if Dyna Beads are compatible with tubed tires?Originally posted by allojohn View Post1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red

They aren't, as far as I have been able to figure out. Not sure I would want any sloshing around inside a tube.Originally posted by Rob S. View Post
You are still running tubes in your 1100?'83 GS650G

Yup, stock 1982 "snowflake" wheels. Was told they were designed for, and should still use tubes.
I'm very pleased with the Pirelli Sport Demons, though, so the tubes don't bother me.1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red

Interesting. I thought all of the cast wheels in the '80s could go tubeless. I love this forum for new learning.'83 GS650G

Some have done that, with no problems. Some advise against it.Originally posted by BigD_83 View Post
