      82 GS1100E completely stock

      Crazy fast just how it is...cant imagine wanting anything that hopped out of the gate with any more punch.

      I am looking to do a front/rear sprocket and chain replacment this summer. Anyone out there have any favorites to go with?

      Im not doing the replacement myself, not that inclined. I can fix cars...but bikes are out of my league.

        I always use JT rings and EK chains. Pay the premium for the chrome side links, it's easier to clean.

          Talk with Jeff at Z1Enterprises.com. for the chain and sprockets. I went with a 530 conversion 17/48 and 116 link RK chain. Pretty close to the stock ratios. You'll need the 6mm front sprocket spacer washer too.

          My motor's all stock and each spring when I climb back on for the first ride it's the same old response, "Yep, this baby still scares the acceleratin' hell outta me. Hang on!!"
