    Hi all, I'm Jim, I live on Isle of Palms SC. Just got this 83 1100. Some of you may have seen it on ebay. I know, it has an 82 pipe.

    Very nice. What's the difference between '82 and '83 pipes? Chrome vs. black chrome?

    This is my '82, painted to look like an '83:

    (I used to ride upside down also.)
    1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red

    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.

        68 C10. Had it less than a year. Daily driver. 327, 4 barrel, TH 350 Trans.

        83 had black pipes. Also Rob, I just set my idle with the idle screw between the middle two carbs. Down to 1100 rpm.
