    Interesting tail piece. The chrome fender is a bit un-cafe. You have plans there?

      Nice line-up, Fern.
      I am sensing a theme.

        Posplyr, that bike is HOT! I have been trying to find an 1100 like that. Nice job.

          Wooooow! Like the last 10 bike postings are "worthy" of comments. Great muscle representation!

            I must ask.....
            Why did the bike manufacturers of that ara(85'ish) put so much emphasis on the tail section of those bikes?
            Great looking bikes but the rear ends are larger than the tank.

              Love the look of your bike. I have been following your thread about the GSXR upgrade swap. I just bought back my 82 GS1100e (see pic) and am very excited to follow along the lines of your swap. One question though. What make is your front fairing? Love the look.

              Cheers

                This is what it looked like when I bought it.

                I got a new tank and painted it along with the cylinder head covers.

                The engine is being COMPLETELY rebuilt as we speak. I am hoping to have everything else done by riding time next year.

                  that has got to be the top of my list for the most uncomfortable bike to ride in the whole world, IMO. but you may prefer to disagree..

                  anyway, welcome to the site, have fun

                    Thanks for the welcome. I bought it in late October last year and had time to ride it once for about a half hour. Living in Illinois it got too cold to ride quick so I haven't had enough time on it to tell how painfull it is to ride. I had a friend start rebuilding the engine in April and he got busy and had to push my bike aside for a while. The engine is ready to go back together now. I wanted to get it road worthy and safe to ride before I hopped on. There was no front brake period and the back brake, I realized was missing some bolts after I dropped it off to get worked on while we were looking it over. So needless to say it needs a lot of work.

                      Not really cafe...its more of a "tracker" style tail...Same concept, same vein, different blood type..

                        That's tragic. GS crashed into a Harley and was fused together. If I had a gun, i'd shoot it and put it out of it's misery.

                          Excuse me for jacking this thread with a new bike but damn..have you looked at a new Busa lately? they dwarf the 80's bikes rear ends. I think it looks horrible, almost chariot like.

                            What did that tank come off of and does it bolt up the same?

                                Chris-Harris, Its a Harley Sportster tank. It needs fab work to bolt up. I got a flat bottom put on it and got the petcock moved to the back of the tank and still need to adjust the mounts in front.
