    If I am not mistaken, the 80-82 GS750E and the 80-81 GS1100E have the same seat...
    Those bikes share a lot of parts....
    I am not sure about the forks....

              The 750 has 35mm forks and the 1100 has 37mm forks.

              The complete front end will swap over though.

              The seats are exactly the same.

                  More is the same than isn't. The engine will swap right over as well.
