    Early 80's GS1100 chain guard on 78 GS1000E

    Folks,

    Does anyone know if the chain guard from an early 80's GS1100 will fit the factory mounting points on a 78 GS1000E?

    I know things like the front fender will cross over, but not sure about the chain guard....

    Thanks!

    Eric says he has a few stock guards if you interested.
    Send me a PM and I'll forward his E-address.
