First off, I would like to thank everyone on this wonderful forum. You have created such an abundance of information, every question I have has already been answered in the few days of "lurking" here!
Anyways, as the title descfibes, I am the very proud owner of a 1983 GS 1100ESD. I did purchase this bike in a non running state. The r/r has burned out and created a small, but repairable electrical issue. A few melted wires/connectors that will be replaced or removed all together. Everything else seems to test out within spec(lucky me!).
Everything seems to be stock besides a 4-1 manifold and modified muffler and a painted windscreen. The body seems to be in good shape minus a couple of paint chips an a couple broken tabs. The engine is producing a solid 155psi accross the board for compression and the only oil leak(weep) is coming from the cam chain tensioner.
Overall, I am very happy with the purchase and can not wait to be one with the bike! We are already getting to know eachother very well in the garage... Anywho, let's see if I can't upload some bike porn for you fellas!
