Something hinky with GS1100E starter or starter clutch?

Great to hear... One less thing to need to deal with.

I have a couple of small electrical issues to resolve, just a bad turn signal relay, and the horns need adjustment.

But, bad juju - I can't get the front end straight. It's close, but not right. I have loosened everything, including fork brace and caliper bolts, and bounced it with the top pinch bolts tight and the bars centered. But no matter what I do, the bars settle in a slightly off position. It's only noticeable when I loosen my grip on the bars in 2nd or 3rd gear as a test; it wobbles on deceleration.

The bike had been dropped, the stator cover was ground down, and the tank had a couple of dents. I checked the fork legs with a straightedge and eyeballed the yokes, and they seemed fine. I'll keep at it.
