    Can you show me your rear end? (of your bike, of course)

    Didn't look at all parts diagrams but did look at several. It seems all "80" GS 1000's and GS1100's use those same brackets (part # 41580-45000-019 RH and 41590-45000-019 for LH). Also "78" GS750 use them Did look at "84" GS1150 and saw nothing like them... Saw somewhere that those brackets just...

    Pic of the week game

    Probably the best bunch of pictures we've had, though only 1 or 2 folks recognize any of the subjects... I'm voting for the one everybody here should recognize, voting Rich82gs750tz and "STATOR", Heck everybody knows Stator.

    Can you show me your rear end? (of your bike, of course)

    Sorry, I got no pictures but if you look at the parts diagram for your bike, go to the turn signal page, there's a picture of the turn signal bracket that bolts to the frame. You may be looking at them in your parts and just don't realize it. Hopefully they are there.

    Looking for a fuel bowl for a 32mm Mikuni GS1100

    32 mm on a GS1100?? From memory, That don't sound right

    For the dedicated gearheads,

    Totally agree !!!

    For the dedicated gearheads,

    Too much to remember, always seemed redundant, for a yr. or 2 in the late 60's, Ford produced the 427, 428, and 429 in the same yr.

    For the dedicated gearheads,

    Too much to remember... The old L88 427 rated at 430 HP from Chevy. From what I've read they were intentionally under rated and actual numbers from dyno tests show they all made 500 + and most nearer to to 550 HP... Kind'f weak compared to today's 800 HP V-8's

    For the dedicated gearheads,

    Totally agree, any small block Chevy, no matter its original state, can sure be upgraded to do a whole lot. Rob, did you forget the L84 327, 375HP ? Like you my favorites were also the 302 & 327, nothing wrong with the 350's, just something about the earlier ones

    For the dedicated gearheads,

    Sorry pilot, too many pages to read on this dang computer, I missed that page... I did see where Chevy had a 283 cid. in 1960 that made 315 HP, and a 265 cid. that made 225 HP back in 1956.... Back to poking at Rob, my opinion neither the Chevy 305 cid. nor the Chevy 307 cid. will ever be knows...

    1978 Suzuki GS1000 F/B $2400 Hudson WI

    Is there any blinker relay compatible for my 1981 GS1100?

    Not sure but like Xrr, if you got the same current going in & being drawn out of the relay (flasher) it won't know if flashing RH or LH signals... Think your blinkers are grounded through the mounting stud for each blinker. Good luck.

    Looking for a Handlebar and Seat for an '80 GS1100E

    Aw Shoot Steve, I don't see where you got your welcome, so here it is, WELCOME to the site... Always interesting to see and hear of GS's brought back to life... Hoping we can help.

    Is there any blinker relay compatible for my 1981 GS1100?

    Not working "properly" ??? not coming on?, coming on not blinking?, comes on but blinks too fast?... Have you changed a bulb on the left side? a bulb that draws more or less current than is designed for can cause not working properly.

    Looking for a Handlebar and Seat for an '80 GS1100E

    Maybe Suzuki noticed the difference in the cost of 100K decals vs. the cost of 100K metal badges, could have been more of an influence than the looks of the bike... I agree, steve's picture of that side cover does look good, would love to see the rest of the bodywork.
