1982 GS1100ES: Who's is this?

[Billyboy]

And what is this fairing??

It looks to me like a GS1150 fairing chopped down. Is it?

[doug g]

I would like to know what front end is on that bike. Anyone know what it is.

Thanks, my Canadian brother!
I'm following in your tracks. The fairing is cut down to almost the same dimensions as yours, with some differences in the screen. The dremmel is a lifesaver! I used the mounts from a slipstreamer windshield for the top and I'm in the process of fastening the bottom with aluminum strapping. I did a test fit this afternoon. Looking good.
The wall above my workbench has had pics of your bike pinned on since I saw your site.

Hope you don't mind copying yours, but they say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.:-D

(Well, I was going to do it anyway, but you pics provided a blueprint almost.)

glad i could be of some help!

i used the brake line attachement under the bottom tree of the forks to fasten the bottom of the fairing...are you mounting an 8in. light ?

we need pics! if only because it's winter + i'm a GS junky :mrgreen:

[Billyboy]

Well, I thought it was an 8 inch, but I think I'm wrong. Theres a gap around the hole. I'll try to get some pics up soon.

Solo,

Nice GS!
I especially love the seat. Can you give me any details/specs on having mine modified to resemble yours?

Thanks!

Thanks!
all i did was: i got some foam, trimed it with a knife and brought the whole thing to an uphostery shop with a drawing i had done of what the seat should look like in the end. we choose some vinyl and weeks later...:razz:

wish i could do it myself 'cause i've had a couple done on different bikes and it seems very expensive...:shock:
