GS1100 ES Clone

[russr33]

Yeah not worried about having to paint. Whole thing would have to be painted anyway.



Don't know if you saw the post earlier; fairing and headlight on the 'bay right now:

Could just leave the original cluster on there if it would work with the fairing.

It wont clear the windshield..

OK. So either rig it up somehow or find a very hard to find harness. Were the 750ES and 1100ES gauges the same?

No. Close, but not exact. The 1100 had more "dummy" lights. I do believe it had the information pannel controler, where the 750s did not. I can take a pic of the different two, i have both sitting at home. It may be one of those things where its close enough it doesnt matter, since you have to wire the harness up yourself anyway.

BTW, if you come across any 1100 body pannels or tail cowl with tabs intact youd like to unload, let me know. I plan on buying new this winter for my ES's resto, since its getting partially painted anyway, but if i can find some before that would be helpfull, and maybe a bit cheaper...

Will do Josh. I may end up parting this thing out, and if I do I will let you know. Side panels have broken tabs however. Just bumping ideas around; should really sell it (either running with the '82 1100 engine currently in the Katana) or part it out. Could really use the money to fund the Katana build but the thought of doing the clone is really intruiging, esp. since I got it cheap. Just don't know if another project is the smartest thing right now

Well if you decide to part it out, let me know. I would likely take the body work, and maybe the front forks and seat. I have an 82 that im putting back together for Griffin, tho we're going with as much 83 stuff as we can, its simply nicer looking in our opinion. Might even be interested in the whole dang thing, if we could figure out how to get it here (sans motor, keep that for your Kat) Just throwing that out there..
