Will these case savers fit? / Can anyone measure some mounting points for me?

[TomE]

I am looking at a set of case savers from PowerSportSuperstore.com, described at the bottom of this page:

http://www.powersportsuperstore.com/.../tr59-6227.htm

as part number 59-6227. They list them as working on the:

· GS850, 79 – 83
· GS1000, 80 – 81
· GS1100 82 – 83

That’s tantalizingly close to my 1981 GS1100. I am thinking that the bikes may have had very similar frames over these years and the wide range of fitments quoted for the same part number seems to confirm this.

If anyone with one of the bikes listed above could measure the distance between the holes on your frame, and let me know what they are, I would very much appreciate it.

Thanks,

Is your bike an 1100 "E"?

[TomE]

Yes, it's an GS1100E. Is there a frame difference for the E's?

Yes, it's an GS1100E. Is there a frame difference for the E's?

There's a difference between a GS1100 E and a GS 1100 L of the same year. Which will make a difference in case savers.
