      Thanks for adding your "T" on here!

      Beautiful bike that will clean up well. Post pics as you make progress.

        Nice little T. The paint looks like it has held up. Enjoy the ride.

          By suggestion of our man Red, I was asked to post my "T" on this thread.....I picked this up about 6 weeks ago from a guy who was the original owner for 34 years. Changed oil yearly, and kept her running the entirety of its life. Only has 16K on the clock, but was in need of a little TLC. I also needed to make some changes to the ergonomics. I never liked the original bars and swapped in enduro bars, which I think work really well. removed the rack, and have the included windshield off and wrapped in plastic and will be selling, along with the rack. Also installed a new bridgestone rear tire that the original owner included with the sale, had the seat trimmed down an inch, and refoamed with memory foam and memory gel by americana soft sets ( amsss.com). Put in a JW Speaker 8700 series II headlamp, and will be sending the carbs out to chef in CA for a real rebuilding. I'm loving the ergonomics now, but need the engine to accelerate smoothly. Here she is....

          before tweaks....



          and after



          the prior owner had this conglomeration of horns that didn't work, Replaced with a sound bomb mini with great success.

          glad to be a "T" owner. I truly feel its the most beautiful of all the GS's, I've never liked the plastic add-ons behind the seat, and in the late 70's thru 80's they were on virtually all UJM's.,

                              Well I am finally back on the road with my 82 1100T (7/11 Conversion). Took her out for a 30 mile ride around a local lake on Saturday. Happy with the results!!!
