I'm really looking forward to diving into this one!! 32000kms but will need a carb rebuild, fork seals, etc.... Much more comfortable riding position than my 1150ef.

I'm a little confused. My chart shows the 1150ef and 1150es both being made in '84 and '85. I know E is the 1984 year code and F is '85.
What are the differences between ef and es?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. -
Hey Rob,
E (unfaired)
ES (1/2 fairing)
EF (fully faired)
add the year code and you get
ED ('83)
ESD
EFD'83 GS650G
'83 GS550es (didn't like the colours in the 80's, but they've grown on me)Comment

I saw the bike in the flesh today. Mark you did very well! Nice clean, solid original bike you have there, that's all stock and low kms to boot! Just needs a little lovin and it sounds you have that covered.
Congrats again!!No signature :(Comment

Looking good! What kind of seat is that? When you get some decent seat time could you please report back on how it feels? My stocker is getting a bit sacked out near the gas tank.....sigpic

The seat is just a reupholstered stocker with new foam. I'm just a little worried that it might push me into the tank a little more than the stock one I replaced.Comment

Sure looks nice and tidy. It must just be me but that bike looks a little more stretched than the typical 1150, not sure why. I'll keep an eye out for you on the roads.Comment
