    Mechanical Tachometer to Electronic Conversion

    Thank you, I like the look of those since they look more balanced, and would take up all the radius of my windscreen. You have given me something to keep an eye out for. From a quick look, I guess it's the pre-1998 I need to focus on. I like the 1991 SUZUKI KATANA 750 gauges the best so far.

    Don't bother taking apart even a halfway decent cluster. It would only make sense if you just had a tach by itself laying around already. I will probably just go with some china gauges. I never have liked the looks of the 1150 gauges, and I am not positive it would work correctly with the...

    Hey Nick I just saw your post that you are clearing stuff out. This is Greg Billingsly. I am still running that 1150 engine I bought from you.. Other than the common Suzuki "hop out of 2nd when hot rodding", it is a great engine. I just got some bandit1200 carbs to put on it. I never heard...

    Mechanical Tachometer to Electronic Conversion

    Thank you, you are right, they aren't an exact fitment, the brackets have to be adapted... actually I have several 82 gs1100e gauge brackets that I could adapt it with. As far as the looks, my 82 1100e is actually modified to look like a 78gs1000... so these gauges appeal to my senses for...

    Mechanical Tachometer to Electronic Conversion

    I did find this gauge set I liked but currently it is not offered in MPH:.... also this gauge does not have an oil temp gauge. (although I am talking to the mfg about their plans) ​ https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806261644285.html?spm=a2g0o.cart.0.0.7cf538da7 GdQyg&mp=1&gatewayAdapt=glo2usa...

    Mechanical Tachometer to Electronic Conversion

    82 1100E here with an 1150E engine that does not use the mechanical tachometer. I was looking for options to replace my speedometer cluster and kept having trouble finding an affordable option that I liked the look of. But I just ran across this option that is very cool and I thought it would...

    Replacement handlebar for a 1978 GS1000? Closest to OEM?

    I had an oops moment and trashed my handlebars. Dignity still intact but barely. I ordered what I thought, and some sellers claimed, was a replacement for them. EMGO Chrome 7/8 in. LTD Handlebar - 23-12541 As you can see from the attached picture, they do not sweep back as far as my old bars...

    Source for reproduction ZERO seat covers????

    That looks really good. I especially like raised part at the tank. Pit Replica told me that they could make a knock off with minimum order of 15, but I'm not sure an embossed ZERO logo is worth all the trouble. Does your feel padded enough at that thickness? And do you have gel or any...

    Source for reproduction ZERO seat covers????

    Yeah that is crazy money. I don't even care about the logos really, I just would like that style and was hoping someone has it available. The company who makes the OEM reproduction ones would probably be willing to make a version if they had one to use as a templet. I just emailed Pit Replica...

    Let's see your Cell Phone holder.

    Thank you for sending those pictures. It looks like yours is mounted just right next to the handlebar clamps which is a good place, although on mine has less than 1" before the bend. Does yours attach easily without having to remove the handlebars to tighten down the bolts?

    Source for reproduction ZERO seat covers????

    Does anyone know where to acquire seat covers like this one? ​​​​​​​I am redoing some things on the skunk and am thinking these look pretty bad ass. I assume they would be as comfortable as the stock seat, especially if I put gel in it.

    My 82 1100E

    That looks great Trevor ! The only thing that is not shiny on that beast is the exhaust. I doubt if they have a gloss exhaust paint that will stay glossy.

    Let's see your Cell Phone holder.

    I looked at his and even though his is behind his big windscreen, it would not be on mine. I suppose what I am looking for it a phone that will mount to the vertical / diagonal portion of the bars and extend over toward the centerline of the bike, and be able to be turned in the right direction...

    Let's see your Cell Phone holder.

    I am trying to find a cell phone holder for my bike that will hold the phone inside the fairing / gauge protected "windless" area. There are too many options out there to know which one will put the phone in the center and at the right angle to see clearly. ((My old one did not attach to the...

    Has anyone had their carb bowls go dry at WOT?

    I want to thank all of you for your thoughts and suggestions. Sorry it took so long to respond, I don't know why I did not get alerts for these in my email in box. I will check everything mentioned.

    Has anyone had their carb bowls go dry at WOT?

    We were out riding (I have 1986 1150 E engine) and got out on a long straightaway with wide open throttle for a couple miles or possibly a couple minutes. I was running about 125 when the bike bogged down and almost stopped running, until apparently, the carb bowls filled back up. Any...

    GS1150 gauges on GS1100E?

    I bought a cheap Chinese electronic tach that was the same diameter. I learned a lesson on how not to do it. Dragon 3.75 Inch Racing Car Tachometer Gauge 7 LED Colors 0-11000 I was able to chop it up and fit it back in by butchering the outer housing and using epoxy to create a bolt on point...

    82 1100e Coil options ? I have Dynatec but want other style.

    Thank you very much. 3 ohms it is. I ended up finding an old set of 1100 coils and picked the wires out and epoxied new wires in and in the shop it seems to run just as it did before. Hopefully all will be good.

    82 1100e Coil options ? I have Dynatec but want other style.

    I got distracted from this and am ready to get something ordered. I did notice that the coils for the 1100E are different (#33410-49210) than the coils for the 86 1150 (# 33410-49210). I am not sure if they both fit in the 1100 frame, but assume they are both the same ohms.
