Years ago I snapped mine off and lost it, I welded on an old pushrod from a truck engine. It looked ok as it had a small ball end similar to original.My bikes 79 GS1000 1085 checked and approved by stator the GSR mascot :eagerness: and 77 GS750 with 850 top end, GS850g, and my eldest sons 78 GS550, youngest sons GS125.

New to me 1982 GS1100G. Got it started with a fresh battery and barely ran on choke. Time to clean the carbs...
3 out of the 4 slides are stuck, but overall not very bad in the bowls.

I'll be installing new Legend rear shocks on the Sportster this coming week, along with a set of hard bags."Thought he, it is a wicked world in all meridians; I'll die a pagan."

I am in the process of replacing the seat cover. Second time in 12 years. The Pit Replica covers seem to crack after that long. And I really don't enjoy messing with all the prongs.Current Rides: 1980 Suzuki GS1000ET, 2006 H-D Fatboy, 2021 BMW K1600BComment

Decided to put the case guards back on, after learning the hard way.
I had a low side crash and damaged the left side case in 2023.
Tried soldering a patch but it leaked, then I added another sealer to the inside and that worked, but the case was ugly.
So lucky to find a clean case on ebay this summer.

Whatever works. I Remember back in the 80's I installed a set of those guards on my GS1100E, slow speed drop ruined the guard but saved the cover. Found replacing the guard, had to buy the set, cost more than the cover it saved.1983 GS1100E, 1983 CB1100F, 1991 GSX1100G, 1996 Kaw. ZL600 Eliminator, 1999 Bandit 1200S, 2005 Bandit 1200S, 2000 Kaw.

I wish I had a seat like that, really tight.

Finally got the paint complete on the 1100E. I painted the tank and front fender about a year ago and just now got it back together after painting the rear cowl and side covers.

That rear rack is a PITA to install. You need 4 hands, tiny little fingers and a blessing from the pope to get it all lined up! Anyone that has installed one knows!Ron
