1983 Suzuki GS1100ED --- "Big Boy"

Oh its gonna go.....he only thing to do is slam a bid on it at the last second and make it your own.

I guess no one likes the bodywork... Well I do!



I'm gonna be sooo ****ed if it goes with only 1 bid at $49...

You are very welcome...

Should be M8 x 1.25...not sure how long...not very

It's probably less than 6mm long. I'll have to check it out. I'm pretty sure I have those laying around somewhere...


Now I have some bad news. I found a pretty nice set of bodywork on eBay but I do not have enough money (because I bought riding gear ). The seller said that he will not hold them for a week either. The next best thing to do is pass it on to you guys.

I LOOOOVE the color!!! But does SVSooke like it?

Man... Riding gear will always be there on eBay but a nice set of bodywork will not.

Just got a nice set of horns today. Thanks Baatfam!

Does anyone know what size bolts I'll need for them?

The Shoei looks nice! I'll try one on whenever I go to a dealer.

Now... How loud are these engines supposed to be? There is a lot of valve noise. My camera can't capture the sound of it though. I just rechecked the valves and they are all within spec.

Shoei RF-1100 best thing I ever put on my head.
Somethings just are not good and cheap.

Same with my buddie's five something hundred dollar Arai. Couldn't believe my head could be so comfortable in a helmet.

Loudest. Helmet. Ever.

That was my first lid, it SCREAMS at 60+. Ear plugs/headphones are a must.

Dammit.

But this helmet is basically brand new and was cheap so I jumped on it. Better than wearing my crash damaged KBC VR-2 though.

Hi FC,
spent a wet afternoon reading all 52 pages of your thread.Good Stuff.The Bike the Job and the good support from GSR members.I have an 83 EZ 1100 that requires a big tidy up too.Gyro has just finished building me a hotrod 78 1000 EC,so now I can put some money into the EZ.Hopefully I can run a thread too.I have the photobucket account running,just need the computer geek to do the rest.Bikecliff was good but I got lost.Anyway hope you're riding that bike to work soon before it gets too cold.Cheers .Mark.
P.S My first big suk (1000G) I did 66,000 kms in 2 years.Bugs in ya eyes.

AWESOME! Thanks for reading my thread. I would like to see another 1100E getting some attention.

Congrats on the job.

Thanks!


My new helmet got here today.

Icon Alliance SS Battlecry.


It has gigantic vent holes on the back.


Definitely need a reflective visor. Not a fan of clear visors....


Sidi Vertebra boots.


I need an armored jacket! Not sure if my 1970's leather jacket will hold up or not...

Congrats on the job.
