    Engine ID

    How do I tell what year my motor is? I know its an 1100, but the title says the bike is a 83 1100es but it doesn't have the fairing and the motor and wheels and so on look like '82 stuff. The tag on the frame said 11/82 so could it be a early 83 before the changes? I just want to be sure exactly what I have before I start a big project.

    11/82 would be 1983 model year.

      I understand the frame is an 83. But I want to know about the motor. Its silver and i'm not sure its original to the bike.
