'82 GS1100E decal question

[1978GS750E]

I am finally getting around to painting the side covers and rear cowl on my '82 GS1100E and have a question as to the decals on the rear cowl.

The parts fiche shows 2 decals, a "Suzuki" and a "S" decal for the rear cowl. My tired old memory cannot remember seeing both of these decals on the rear cowl. If I remember correctly, the "S" decal goes under the seat lock, towards the rear of the bike??? I can faintly see where this was originally placed. Is this correct?

Does the "Suzuki" decal go above the seat lock? I cannot see where this bike ever had that decal on it. Is this bike supposed to have both decals or only one?

Anyone have a picture of an original rear cowl to share?

Guess that's what I get for waiting 2 years to finish a paint job!

I'm thinking the "82" had the "S" just above the tail light, below the lock. My "83" has SUZUKI right above the tail light and below the lock...

Thanks, the "S" above the taillight and below the lock it is!

I think that's the way it is supposed to be anyway. ae3.jpg
