    Gs 1100 info pleeeeeeeease

    I thought I had everything compiled to get after putting this 1981 gs1100e back on the road by spring until yesterday, I'm sure there will still be a surprise or two yet.
    I just got my Mac seat cover in the mail so I went out and brought my seat in the garage to pull the old original cover off to just get a quick idea how this new cover would look. I had planned to bead blast and paint the seat pan but when I removed the cover and foam I discovered the pan in much worse shape than I expected. It's pretty rotted along the right side especially towards the nose....bummer.
    So I guess I'm on the hunt for a better pan. My question is what other years and models can I look for to broaden my search to find another seat or even just the pan for a 1981 gs1100e?

      Hi woods,

      Good news is you can use a host of seat pans. just a quick search on Partszilla in the suzuki oem section shows the OEM Suzuki part # to be 45100-49X00-48H

      Searching that # in ebay shows GS750 1980-82, GS1100 1980-81, SEAT assembly, # 45100-49X00-48H. So looks like you can use 750 and 1100 seats.

          "E" models only, I believe.
          1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red

          2016 XL883L sigpic Two-tone blue and white. Almost 42 hp! Status: destroyed, now owned by the insurance company. The hole in my memory starts an hour before the accident and ends 24 hours after.

              Hmmmm so 80-81 1100E and 80-82 750E are my choices it seems. I was offered up a 81' gs850g seat just now on a FB group so I see that's a no go.

                  Very few "G" or "L" parts will work on an "E"

                      Thank you for the input! I see now how different the seats and seat pans are. Darn it.

                          The caps on the tire valve stems ARE interchangeable.

                              Aren't they a different shade of black?

                                      Use the red ones: they're faster.

                                          The red ones are used when you use balancing beads. Mine came in the bead kit.
