    New Member Again

    Hi All,

    I'm back again with another GS1100 so i guess I'm a glutton for punishment.

    About 2 years ago, I was given a G model after a friend of mine moved out of state so I figured I'd bring it back to life and make a nice little bobber/cruiser.

    I picked it up looking like this:

    Then I was able to turn it into this:

    Although i liked it, I really wanted an E model. After about 7 months of searching, i was able to find a E model that was in acceptable shape.

    This time, I plan on throwing the kitchen sink at it. I want to make a modern classic inspired track/race bike. USD forks, Bandit 12 rear, big bore, cams, modern wheels and tires, etc. The bike currently is not running and it looks like the previous owner was having electrical issues so i'm in the process of replacing the entire electrical system with a M Unit and all new wires, coils, stator, reg/rec, starter relay.

    I'll start a build thread once i have a running bike. Thanks for having me back.

    Welcome back.

    Hey, I see a Michigan plate there.

    Hey, is that an early 80s vette?

    FYI: that 1100G is actaully a 1100GK.
    But about the only thing different than 1100G anymore would be the front forks, the tripple tree and front fender.

    Do update on the E project.

    .

    Had 850G for 14 years. Now have GK since 2005.

        Do not lose that luggage rack. Hard to find item.

          Welcome back Aaron. Live a restomod GS. Looking forward to following along.
          Dave, the Vette is early 70 at the latest. I think ‘73 was the last of the flat back panel style.

            I'll actually end up selling a fair amount of the OEM parts; front end, essentially the entire rear end including the tail section, and of course the luggage rack.
