[1980gs1100l]

Hey ive had this bike goin on about 6 months now gonna ride it thru the summer and in the winter do a little restoration work to it i was wondering how rare is this bike cause i usually shave the emblems etc and if its a rare piece i will put it back as close to stock with just basic upgrades as possible it only has 26xxx miles and is pretty sharp i will post some pics as soon as i figure out how to get my computer to communicate with my camera thanks guys

Is it 16V or 8V square cam end caps or round

If it really is an '80, then it is the chain drive 16 valver and kind of a cult bike amongst the "L" crowd.

If it is a shaft drive, it's an '82-'83 1100GL. While still a nice bike, that is much more common and not as highly valued as the '80 1100L.

When I bought my 750L all the emblems had been removed. The PO filled in all the holes and had the bike repainted. I probably get more questions from people who try to figure out what brand the bike is. I would still buy a bike if the emblems were removed. I suppose the purest would prefer the emblems. If you plan on keeping the bike, I'd make it look the way you like it.
