gs1150e

[kz]

I think the euoropean EF model is called EFE in the States, so they should be the same.

BTW:

I'm not 100% sure......

Hey Karl,
Where did you get that tinted windscreen on the EF? I've been looking for one for a long time, mine is all discolored and cracked looking. any help would be much apreciated.

This is a copy of an email I got from zero gravity

We make a windscreen for the GS1150es and ef models. I've attached a picture of this bike below. If this is the same bike as the efe model then you can order a smoke windscreen from us by calling us at 1-800-345-9791. It's priced at $69.95 plus $6.50 shipping. Ask for part number 20-168-02. Thanks .. . . ZG

I have owned a GS1150es for 15 years and have loged over 60k miles on it and it has never let me down. I have owned over 15 motorcycles and sold Honda's, Suzuki's and Kawasaki's. Bikes have come and gone, but Ive always keeped my 1150. It's a great ride.

Karl the mighty GSX1100EF that we know and love is called either a GS1150e(unfaired) or a GS1150 es in north american markets.

And the mighty GSX is called the GS 1150 EF in Canada. I thought I read somewhere that it is called an EFE as well but not sure about that. The EF in Canada is the full faring with the lower as well. The E is naked and the ES has the upper Faring and mid side cover. And yes we love it here too

Dink,

In Sweden, the model you have on your avatar, if 1984, is called GSX 1100 ES and the model I have (the converted one) is called GSX 1100 EF.

E means basic model, think the E stands for electronic ignition, but not sure
ES means Sport Fairing
EF means Full Fairing

If you look close to the fairing, you can see that there is an extra part of fairing covering the lower part of the bike, on the EF model.

The E-model was never imported to Sweden, but at least I have one now. :twisted:


The 1985 models are called GSX1100:

Basic EF
Sport fairing ESF
Full Fairing EFF

The 1986 models are called GSX1100:

Basic EG
Sport fairing ESG
Full Fairing EFG

I think, that the last letter is a year code and if 1985 is F and 1986 is G, it could be that E is 1984. So maybe a 1984 EF model is called EFE on some markets??

And yes we love them here too

Checked yesterday, sorry no label, can't tell you where the windscreen came from.

This is bit off subject but in anticipation of spring I was getting the 1150 ready to run over the weekend. Pulled the lower fairing pieces to get at the carbs, valve cover, ect..
Had to walk across the garage to get something and when I turned to come back noticed that the bike looked really good with just the upper fairing in place, kind of the bullet thing, almost like the 1000S.
So I looked over the brackets and decided the lower fairing bracket didn't do that much to support the upper piece. So I pulled lower bracket and painted the lower edge of the upper fairing, the part that the lower hangs over and attaches to, flat black and it pretty much becomes invisible with the black engine and shadows.
Think I'll leave this way for a while.

pjackson,

I have a feeling you also will end up with an E-model...

Mookie, you could also try Gustafson screens (spelling?) I have a dark smoke one on my 84 ES.
Doze.
