A Note From The Owner...
I got my 1982 gs1100e from the late orginal owners son. He bought it at suzuki of seattle with the options of the champagne wes cooley fairing and yoshimura 4-1 exhaust. I bought it with almost 10,000 miles on it prett mint but original carbs were gummed up. My dad got it fired up and said the engine seemed good. Bought it and a set of gsxr carbs and had chef1966 rebuild them with new slide guides and a dynajet stage 3 kit set for the new k&n pods. Huge upgrade in performance. So i continued upgrading it with a new steering stem bearing, new drag bars, new ohlins rear shocks and from springs. Dyna s ignition with hotter coils. 3 phase regulator rectifier, galfer stainless brake lines removed the anti dive new ebc brakes and clutch plates and the bike is a blast. My dad was always a fan of these bikes and i just wanted to have a nice matching Gs1100e to his. Its living up here in Portland, OR area if anyone wants to go for a ride or check it out. All the upgrades i did to the bike i learned from these forums so big THANKS! Edward
