    My new 1983 GS1100e I just bought today

    This is the Craigslist description:











    1983 Suzuki GS1100E

    condition: excellent
    engine displacement (CC): 1100
    fuel: gas
    odometer: 14000
    paint color: black
    title status: clean
    transmission: manual


    Everything has been replaced except the rear fender and starter. Engine was rebuilt with 2nd over Suzuki pistons 4000 miles ago. Actual original mileage is unknown but it shows 14,000. Mikuni Flat Slide carbs, stainless 4/1 exhaust, Dynatec ignition and coils. New wiring harness. Oil / filter changed regularly. The only problem now is the fuel gauge which is new but non functioning. The fuel tank sending unit is new and checks out fine. Other then that it's all good. Always on a battery tender. Always stored inside. It dyno'd 109 Rear Wheel HP.
    The front forks and wheel are off a 1984 GS1150E. The rear swingarm is as well. It's set up for a firm ride but not harsh. It's clear from the photos that the current Pirelli tires have never been tested, but it has been pushed in the past and has no handling issues at all. Right now it has velocity stacks which give it another 3HP but I'll include K&N filters as well.
    Selling because I can't ride anymore due to injury.

    Just got it unloaded after a 600 mile round trip. The only thing it needs is the carbs cleaned. The seller was a very nice guy, and a member on here. He is 70 years old now, and is looking at getting a hip replacement, and was in the process of moving to Arizona, from Oregon. I think he said he's owned it for about 14 years.

                            That's a beauty for sure! Looks seriously fast! What's with the vinyl sock over the intakes? Are there foam filters underneath - I hope?
