    RED 1983 GS1100E SUZUKI tail decal

    Can anybody that has a red 1983 GS1100E take a close-up picture with a ruler for reference and also provide dimensions so that I can get Reproduction Decals to make one up of the tail decal?




    TIA

    I discovered long ago that any sign shop can cut decals for most vehicles. They will do it with any color material you like too. It is also really cheap. One dealership has a machine for cutting stonesheild, the guy who does it has also cut some suzuki emblems for me, i supply the material and he cuts it freeof charge. It is an option for you. I don't have an emblem on my tailsection, so I couldn't measure it for you. Sorry.

        AOD has been working with Reproduction Decals to make up a set of decals for the blue '83 1100E. I'm sure they could change the colors to match the red model's decals.

        Thanks,

          Dave, I think the '82' bikes feature a Suzuki 'S' on the tail, not the decal pictured.

              Clear border decals???

              I'm still hoping to get the dimensions for the 1983 GS1100E Red rear tail decal.

              Also I might note that there seems to be come confusion about the tank decals. On the 1983 red bikes at least the decal is black with a silver outside border and what looks like a red line. As it turns out (on my bike I used a razor blade and cut back the decal) that the red line is really a clear and the red paint on the tank shows through.

              Reproduction decals produced the 1982 red GS1100E with a red line in between the silver outside border and the black portion of the decal.

              Minor detail but if some one could confirm or has bought the OEM decals please reply.

                1982 GS1100EX tail decal

                As mentioned in this link also, the 82 tail decal is that it is not the word "Suzuki", but rather a small S. This is an issue with the Reproduction Decals site.

                The source is given below:
                This is a bike review from 1982 which included the GS1100EX. Cycle Guide May 1982. Closeup below.

                    Blue decals are available from Reproduction Decals now, I'm trying to get them to use the same blue color on the '82 silver tail piece sticker.

                    You may have to send an example of the red in, because the 82 is darker than the 83 red, if I'm not mistaken.

                      '82 1100E's was actually GS1100EZ. EX was 1981. Yeah, I've got some free time on my hands.

                        That makes two of us. The 1981 GS1000G is actually a GS1000GX.

                          Hey guys,

                          Finally got registered for the forum and noticed this thread. I'm the owner of that red 1100ED pictured in Posplayr's first post. Posplayr, here's the information I believe you're looking for:



                          Happy riding! :-D

                            Hey I really appreciate that. \\/

                            I will forward to reproduction decals so that they can produce them. Hopefully we can get the GS1100ED red decals set added to thier expanding list.

                            Thanks again.:-D
