    Hello from Conroe, TX

    Hello GS lovers!

    I recently acquired my first Katana...an 1983 GS1100SD. I'm fortunate to own other bikes including a couple of Wes Cooley GS1000S ('79 & '80), RE5, GT750/550/380, GS750/870, CBX, CB1100F, etc.

    Previous owner bought this Kat in 1991 and started restoring it about 10 years ago. Unfortunately due to health issues and other life circumstances, he's not able to finish his planned restoration so I took on the challenge.

    The bike came with a good amount of NOS spare parts (hardware, switches, controls, decals) which I have been installing/mounting already.

    I'm now dealing with an electrical issue and I'll make a post in the correct sub-forum for that.

    Anyway, thanks for letting me in!

    Nic

              Where is the '83 1100 Kat from? Only 1000s were sold here by Suzuki.

              2016 XL883L sigpic Two-tone blue and white. Almost 42 hp! Status: destroyed, now owned by the insurance company. The hole in my memory starts an hour before the accident and ends 24 hours after.

                Are you sure rob, that ain't right, 1000 was only 1st yr., 1100 after that.

                      Thank you! - I'm not partial to Suzukis. A Honda was my first real, big boy bike and I will always keep one around...or my current 7 of them.

                        Yeah, I noticed that yesterday right before making this post. I'll reach out and get some GS's rolling!

                            Hi Nic, welcome to the Forum and thank you for posting the pics of your new ride, a very tidy looking unit. Wow, two spare tanks and that carton on the right looks like it could be a Kat seat carton? I am a Kat fan and looking forward to seeing your work and bringing another Kat back to life.



                            Cheers.

                              Thank you! - The carton on the right is actually a brand new, NOS Kat tank (4 tanks total, lol). BTW, the bike did also come with a brand new, NOS seat and strap...among many other new parts.
