    Yikes! I upbraided (get it?) to stainless steel lines on my 11E about a decade ago and I recall it was less than $200. Of course I paid with Amerikon greenbacks, but still...YIKES!

Brake saga went on all spring waiting for parts but now I can just ride them so I'm happy about that. It all started when Neither brake light switch was working on the 1100 but really turned out for the best as I know both bikes brake systems are completely renewed now.
      Raymond Chan at Apex in Toronto is where I've gotten several bike's ss lines....around $165 a bike for all the lines. Good deal and quality.
      No signature :(

        Well gtem, after see'in your pictures I got to agree, I'd thought nothing could look worse than my green "99" B12, but now agree your black is worse... But they're sure fun to ride.

          I decided to wash off the brake dust and road grime from my '83 GS1100E. Interrupted by a thunderstorm. A bit rare for Southern California in June. Oh well, got it fairly clean. There's hardly ever anything to do to the bike otherwise.

            Well, wasn't planning on wrenching quite yet, but I ordered a cushion for my side stand with some other parts to fix some oil leaks (fork seals, tach gear, cam chain tensioner) and thought I would just throw this on the bike...

            That's not gonna fit!! Never noticed the "tang" on the side stand had been broken off and a bolt was welded in it's place until now.

              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.

                    Look in the manual for your former 1991 GSX1100G.
