bodywork diff between gs1100E and non E models

[sparki]

if it's just a case of getting the rear of the subframe welded back on and he has all the parts then it's not an issue as the frame would likely need to be painted/coated anyway.... front mudgaurd is neither here nor there either imo as it's a small part. if the rest is complete and all there, with a decent motor then i'd say go for it..... if you wanted to restore it then it's gonna cost a decent amount of $$ anyway and what you've mentioned shouldn't be an issue to replace imo.... thats my 2p worth decent 1074 motors in the UK alone are going for £400 so an entire bike with a decent motor for $850 isn't that bad really.... don't look at it like you're out to turn a prophit it you wanted to sell it..... cos with anything of that age/condition it isn't likely to happen... but if you want a project with a good basis to end up with a great bike then go for it!

Just a update, I did buy the bike. I have a welder lined up to fix the frame, I'm just going to do that for now as I want to finish my dragbike before I start another project.

Just wanted to thank everyone on here for there help.

Any chance you could post a pic of how it looks as a "cruiser" please? I'm likely gonna be doing that to my '81 1100 and would love to see other interpretations of it. Thanks.

I would but I removed all that stuff and let the PO keep it.

He removed the rear fender and installed a chrome rounded fender, cut off the back of the frame and slid a sissy bar in the frame rails. He had a smaller round headlight, smaller gauges, different side covers, chrome round mirrors, different handle bars, crash bar, I think thats it.

Sorry no pics but I hope that helps.

Thanks, that paints a picture alright

I've already sketched out (roughly) where I want to go with my bike but it's always good to see/hear other examples

Best of luck with your project, man!

Hi Jay. Where in Alberta are you? I have some 1100 parts in my garage. Let me know if you need anything. I'm just outside of Edmonton.
