Deliberate anti-social activity including personal insults, profanity, pornography, racism, threats and purposely inflammatory posts may result in suspension of forum access or possibly a permanent ban from GSR.

    A note to new registrants...
    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Yep, it's sprung! Not what you want to see when you remove the oil pan! Now I know why it would not shift gears!:cool:

The spring looks fine to me.
Maybe a little dirty, but if it hold the center stand up, I'd say you're good to go.
 
Yeah, the hard thing about writing and reading things on a page is reading sarcasm. I should know Norm well enough by now to know that he doesn’t miss a trick. Just making sure. :rolleyes: Not the first time with egg on my face. :beaten:
 
Haha, I love messing with you guys! It's all in fun.
​​​Gotta keep Pic of the week interesting. I don't want it to fade away.
 
"Maybe a little dirty, but if it hold the center stand up, I'd say you're good to go."

Leave it to Norm to complain about a little dirt! If you want, I can send it to you for cleaning, Norm!:p (That might keep you from rubbing the paint off that new toy of yours!)​
 
Well if Norm has a thing for a little dirt on a bike, he can come and spend a month with me and spruce up my herd.

Yes stock Suzuki, No not stock for an "83" GS1100E. They add nice contrast to the dark drab black eng.

Exactly.
When I got her, she was mostly an '82 with an '82 title, and some square headlight (not the lunch box).
Wheels and the engine were '83, with the '82 valve cover.

I replaced the frame with one from an '83, (w/title). Found the correct round headlight, instruments, pegs, etc.
Now it's mostly '83, except the valve cover because yes, it does look better.

It looked like this when it came home in 2005...$500 off eBay.

I don't see the 3 stripes (ridges) I'd expect to see on '82 or '83 cam end covers.

Also, yours has the ends of the head fins bare (ala the original Kaw Z1), which I think looks better than all black as I believe stock '83s were.
 
Rob, some of the TSCC engines had flat chrome rectangular cam end caps. My 82 750Z does. Not sure which ones got the fins.
 
Friday morning, I'll be complaining about the idle chit chat and conversions making the summary difficult. Ha...:rolleyes:;):p

Yeah...don't you just hate people who talk endlessly about motorcycles? Now, quick poll: the 1972 Sportster is or is not the most sexy Sportster. :rolleyes:
