GS1100 Owner? I need advice

[chopz5454]

Hi.I am in the process of fixing up a GS1100G (uk model)
There are a couple of things you may be able to help with.
While I was checking the valve shim clearances one of them is marked 2.050.But in the workshop manual there are no listings for these.I need a 2.10.are they easy to get?Better still has anybody got a spare one they can mail me( I live in the UK).Will pay a fair price.

Also the fuel tank on my bike has seen better days,and I would like to replace it with a US stye tank.Will one fit?Or a tank off any other bike which you know will fit.There are not that many GS1100,s over here.and parts are quite hard to get. Cheers...... C

Most shops around here will swap the shims for free. Check with some local bike shops around you. I think new, the shims go for $6 US.

I have the complete mechanics shim kit. The listing for shims start at 2.15 pn 12892-4500 & go up to 3.10 So I don't know. You have a 2.05 ?? I would just leave it in their & extra thousand of clearance will be fine
