    CRASH BARS 1100e

    Been wanting crash bars for a long time and found this on eBay…. Says it’s listed for a 82 & 83 gs1100.

    Question :

    I have an 81… how different are the frame connection points between 82 and 81 in this regard? A little heat or fab up a set of small adapter plates? Or is it wildly different to the point of making it not worth messing with?

    thanks

      The site eventually says "E" but you never do. Do you have an 11E?

          It's been a long time, but I'm reasonably sure those mount to the motor mount bolts, Motor mounts are exactly the same on the all the GS1100E's. But I ain't guaranteeing anything... Good luck.

            Cool. Thanks

            I was cleaning the front of the frame a day or two ago and was appreciating how many unused threaded locations on the front of my machine.

            kinda ready to just buy them but I’ll wait a day or two for anyone else to confirm or deny.

              The body work is drastically different between the '81 and '82, not sure about the frame.

              If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space.
