Jake,
those are the oil by-pass's. You have to use an 1150 oil filter cover to use these because it has a restrictor in it to force oil up the by-pass to the cooler. If you use the 1100 cap no or little oil gets up there. You can read about it with pics somewhere on "performance mods", I posted pics of both 1100 and 1150's to compare. oh here it is.
Suxi engineers obviously thought about it and made provisions for it but never installed the cooler on the early 80's 1100's. I believe they are a 14mm x 1.5 pitch to -6 line. Don't buy from Earl's for 30.00 plus shipping go to a hydrolic supply company and get the fittings for 5.00 like I did.
here is another shot of it.
If you can't find any I can send you some for 5.00 plus shipping. But remember you need the 1150 oil filter cap..........
safety tip: if you take off the cooler and forget to replace the 1100 filter cap you will "anchor" your engine in short order.

here is a wiring diagram for an 82 katana: I've included a dyna S ignition and rev limiter setup. Should be very similar to the 1100E. I don't think I missed anything but wouldn't be surprised.....since I SUCK at electrical. You may find some errors but it will get you close.
I tried to lay it out how it looks on the ground with the off-shoots in the correct order from front to back for easy locating.

those quick access clutch covers sure have crapy castings...
I spent hours grinding and sanding it to get it to a point where I can get it powder coated.
Rough and pitted like you would not believe for a 250.00 item. Very dissapinting for a U.S. manufacturer.
Though they are prob. made off shore but quality control should be better.
If anyone is thinking of getting one book a day (full day) of prep for paint.
3 days if you don't have a rotory tool or die grinder.

Those covers are actually made in Australia. And yes they are cast a bit rough. They have a very industrial look to them, very heavy-duty looking. I wanted to polish mine, but said screw that when I seen them. I just left mine natural.
