    1986

    What a great year....

    I became beer legal....
    Da Bears slaughter the Pats in the Superbowl...
    Ozzy Osbournes vocab was understandable..
    The IROC Z28 was every mullets heads dream...
    The 300zx Turbo was the sh!t...
    Gas was .89 per gallon.....
    The GS line was retired....

    and the first plastic coated race replica missle lands in the states.....

    Picked her up a few weeks back.

      Came with the original exhaust, managed to find a stock airbox on gixer.com for a song, plan on taking it back to stock condition.

        Had the red re-done on the lowers and the entire panels cleared, turned out way better than I expected.

          Any time the pats get slaughtered it's good.

          Nice bike.

            The platic chin piece was pretty rough and I could not bring myself to spend $120.00 on a 3 ounce piece of plastic. Instead I filled in the scars with some plastic bondo sanded it out, repainted and added the perforated metal behind the openings.

                It runs but not very well, yanked the carbs off for cleaning, going to ditch the pods and installed the stock airbox that came with a K&N.

                  Someone decided they were bored and chopped up the fender. Have a complete stocker on the way with signals and stock license lamp.

                            WOW Joe! That thing is NICE!!! Check the carbs to put the jetting & needles back to stock if they've been changed. That stock pipe is worth some money too! Ray.

                              i bought a 86 1100 new in 86.
                              the factory installed the air box in the bike before the engine...
                              to remove mine i had to split it in 2 pieces.
                              any problems with your 750 as far as the air box install?
