gs1100gk luggage question
Evening all. I just recently purchased a used set of hardbags as well as the chrome mounting bracket and luggage rack and trunk to go on my 82 Gs1100gk. One of the two po's took the originals off as well as the fairing. I'm sure I can figure out where the brackets bolt to the bike through trial and error, but if anyone had any diagrams or photos showing how they mounted up that would be a big help. Thanks in advance.Tags: None

any luck? have you tried working your way through it yet? if so, let me know where you're stuck and I can help out with photos, etc. - I had trouble getting mine back on after I took the bags off, but with the help of someone on this site and the photos they sent me, I was able to get them back on. It's pretty simple once you start - chrome frame first, mount the saddle bags, then the top case...

Go to bike bandit.com. Look under oem parts for your year and model and you will find a parts breakdown. Will tell you what parts go where and how they all fit together. But if you are going to keep the bike get a manual, you cant have a old bike without one.

I'm sorry guys. I received an im and a couple of pics that helped. It took a little while to get the brackets and bags and trunk on properly. The only problem I ran in to was that I was missing some of the bolts and screws (which really isn't a problem in the grand scheme of things). I took it out and went for a short ride and realized I don't have proper cold weather riding gear. Now I need to get the luggage painted and try to find a front fairing! I'll post pics soon. Thanks for checking on me.

oh...
your comment on your gear confused me at first (I prefer the GK in the cold weather because of the wind protection) but then I saw you don't have a fairing! Good luck tracking that down - eBay & salvage yards would be your best bet!
