GS 1100e getting some slightly updated parts

[steve murdoch]

Waiting for parts during a resto can be torture.
Your riding season is a bit shorter than mine so it is a good thing parts are arriving.

[Weapon]

torture is right. and ya I took a huge bite out of my summer with this project. if nothing goes sideways it should only be two weeks and I'm riding again though.

Is that the insert for the stator cover? I didn't know that could be replaced. I would love a new one since mine is all road rash.

[Weapon]

yup stator cover and ignition cover. they can be ordered from ebay. use a heat gun to get the old one off. I think its a nice touch because they are usually all worn off.



turn signals showed up today. what do you all think?

[Rob S.]

...I am looking for low maintenance cleaning.

Black is the way to go.

...it should only be two weeks and I'm riding again though.

Isn't two weeks pretty much your whole riding season up there?

I think so too


hah! nope! it can feel like it sometimes though. But August September here are the best months of summer anyway. imo

[Weapon]

these showed up today, don't know if they are going to be any good, but for 125 bucks they seemed worth a shot at least.



also got the oil cooler and the horns properly mounted

[Weapon]

started wrapping the header tonight. its turning out ok I think, first time doing it. I used two rolls of one inch wrap to get this far. I just ordered another roll to finish it.
also an update on those shocks to anyone considering them, the clevis needs to be drilled to 10 mm and tapped and about 2 mm taken from the inside to fit our swing arms.

Not out of the box but check out this site http://chrislivengood.net/wp/ there was a link in another thread on how to take the RFY's apart. Saddly I didn't subscribe to it

[Weapon]

progress was made today

[posplayr]

Thought those horns looked a little "proud"

[Weapon]

hahah yup. right in the damn way, had to bend them back some. gonna have to rethink the mount a little.

The 1150 horns actually mount at right angles (pretty sure), and I got a set for my ED. However I also have the complication of a steering stabilizer so I stacked two on top of one another on the left hand side. I'm now going to a Wolo , but it will be near the same position.

EDIT, sorry about one thing, I'm using the ESD fairing mounts which the 82 EZ does not have.

[Weapon]

Ya I would have an es fairing mounted to this bike already if I had those bungs, its still under consideration for next year though. I will probably just make a clean bend on the brackets and call it a day. gorgeous bike btw.

Thanks, it is in about the same level of assembly as your is at the moment.
