    81 1100e reclamation, big plans!

    I just picked it up last night. 18, 000 miles, been sitting for 14 years. Needless to say it will need a lot of attention.
    The plans:
    -cbr 929 front, calipers, michilin 2ct, braided lines
    -rear end swap to be determined
    -carbon fiber over all bodywork (real stuff). I found some that is blue and black. The blue looks very similar to Suzuki blue. Ot ends up lookong glass smooth. I use 2k clear coat.
    LED signals, front and rear
    -powder coat what I can (black)
    -keep the Yosh exhaust and get it re-coated.
    -stock decals
    -polish cases, forks, swingarm, nuts, bolts and anything else that will polish.
    -replace any nuts or bolts that won't polish.
    -Superbike bars (if the clip on are too low, which they will be).
    I'm keeping the headlight assembly. To me it looks awesome.

    I'm taking lots of pics. I found a front end and picked it up today. Lots of parts to buy, lots of info to collect.
    1981 GS 1100e turbo, 83 motor, turbo pistons, new head, new turbo, backed and welded clutch basket, Dyna S ignition, cbr 929 front end, gsxr 750 rear end with 190 tire, all carbon fiber covered bodywork.
