Decal Opinions

[1948man]

This set is described as being for a 1981 GS 1100G. There was no such bike in 1981, just a 1000G, I believe. 2 emails to Diablo Cycle (Reproduction Decals) yield nothing more than "I'm not sure if that will work on a 1983 GS 1100G." The set is either for a 1981 1000G or a 1982, 1983 GS 1100G. Any ideas here as to what bike that set is for and whether the 1981 1000G and 1983 1100G could use the same decals?

Yeh, I feel your pain, I have 2 gs1100G's that will both needs decals, Richard (LondonBoard) will also need a set, and for all my searching Diablo is the closest set of GL decals (the link you supplied), I spoke to Diablo yesterday (really nice lady) and as she said if someone can supply an OEM set they are happy to copy them, I do have a supplier in the UK who will copy them, but it sounded pricey for one, pehaps send me your email and once one of us has a solid plan we get together and get a set commissioned

The '81 G and '83 G have two completely different tanks and side covers.

Possibly for a 1981 GS1000GL http://www.thegsresources.com/_scrip...php?RegID=1089

Thanks for the replies. Looking at parts fiches, I was pretty sure that if the link was for a 1981 1000G it wouldn't work for a 1983 1100g. Also, are those sets just for the tank and side covers. What about the tail piece and fenders? I guess that's why it may be for a GL which gas no decals for the fenders and no tail piece.

agreed that's what I was trying to say in a round about way, they are deffo GL decals, make sure you post up if you ever find some or a solution, I'm sure many will be interested
