    Gs 1100e chain gaurd

    Can anyone tell me if a Gs1100e chain guard is metal or plastic , and possibly post a picture 82-83 I believe. I have someone who wants one and I have a pile of unmarked chain guards, mostly plastic though.
    thanks in advance

      Ours were metal so I'd expect yours to be the same.

                  I believe you're right. Ive got a chrome one (81) on my 82 (silver engine/pipes). The black guards look better on the 83s (black engines/pipes).

                  81, 82 & 83 all metal.

                          My '82 is black (metal). Is that the correct color? (PO painted the bike to look like an '83.)

                              Black is correct for an '82.
