    1983 GS1100 emissions sticker needed

    My local AAA won’t even do it. I’m going to an AAA office further away, but they already told me there that the sticker was non-negotiable. Hence this effort which is now coming to a successful resolution. California is hard….

    1983 GS1100 emissions sticker needed

    An update: armed with the sticker so graciously sent to me by Ron in Kentucky, I was able to send some pics to my friend who quickly whipped up an incredibly accurate facsimile. Thanks Ron! Needless to say, if anybody else should ever have a need for one of these things, I’m your guy!

    Wow, I was so dazzled by the sticker I didn’t notice your kind offer! PM sent!

    1983 GS1100 emissions sticker needed

    Wow that is EXACTLY what I need! Thanks! That appears to be an original sticker which was liberated from its fender. Would it by chance be surplus to your cause, and could I arrange to buy it? That would save me the trouble of having one made. Please let me know. Thanks again!!! (I was...

    Okay great thanks! Or just post it here?

    1983 GS1100 emissions sticker needed

    Interesting about the 7500 mile exemption. The last two bikes I brought in both had 20k plus miles and the DMV insisted on seeing the sticker. I didn’t know the rule with the first one, and said I didn’t think it was there, before I looked and found it. While I was removing the seat, the DMV...

    1983 GS1100 emissions sticker needed

    Hey that’s brilliant! I never would have thought to look in the owners manual for a copy of the sticker. Sadly I don’t have the manual either, but that would actually be a better source than trying to adapt the curved sticker on a bike itself. So, can anybody post a good photo of the...

    1983 GS1100 emissions sticker needed

    Ah rats, a swing and a miss! Surely there must be somebody else here with any sort of 1983 GS1100 that still has its sticker?

    1983 GS1100 emissions sticker needed

    Great! It will be a different sticker though. Can you please post pics of it here for me?

    1983 GS1100 emissions sticker needed

    PS it is SO stupid that the California DMV will not let you register a vehicle purchased out of state unless it has the factory emissions sticker still attached. Infuriating!

    1983 GS1100 emissions sticker needed

    Here is a closeup of the sticker. Note that it has the specific model year at the bottom, so I need a 1983 sticker. Several images from slightly different angles can be combined to make a great reproduction. Also please provide the measurements. THANKS!

    1983 GS1100 emissions sticker needed

    [ QUOTE=Baatfam;n1785725]I have an '83 GS1100E, but I don't think there is an emission sticker on it. Where would it be stuck, this sticker? Here are photos of the sticker from my 1980 GS1000S. They are always located under the seat. Some manufacturers put them on the seat itself but most...

    1983 GS1100 emissions sticker needed

    Well, the model year is printed right on the sticker. One would hope they would not look too closely, and a 1982 sticker might sneak through. But hope is not a strategy, as they say. I have a friend lined up to reproduce a 1983 sticker for me, but I need good images and dimensions to work from...

    1983 GS1100 emissions sticker needed

    Thanks very much for that! I have reached out to him. At this point it seems I need good images of a 1983 GS1100 emissions sticker for somebody to duplicate. Does anybody here have a GS1100 and could you please upload images of the emissions sticker? Thanks!

    1983 GS1100 emissions sticker needed

    Thanks! Yes I independently stumbled across Brian previously. He told me he had a 1982 sticker but no 1983. So I need good images of the 1983 sticker to proceed. Surely somebody here owns a 1983 GS1100, of any tyoe?

    1983 GS1100 emissions sticker needed

    All, Like the subject line says…. In order to import a 1983 GS1100 into the People’s Republic of California, the bike has to have the original emissions decal attached. I’ve searched and can’t find an online source (I did find a 1982 decal in Canada but need the 1983 version). Does...

    GS1000S tripmeter won’t reset?

    An update—my mechanic took the back of the cluster apart while changing bulbs, and thoroughly cleaned the relevant bits with wd40 before spraying lithium grease from both above and below. He reports it now works great. I won’t have the bike back yet for a bit (the bottom plastic attachment...

    GS1000S tripmeter won’t reset?

    Okay thanks! My motorcycle mechanic has a GS1100. He’s going to be installing new fork springs on my GS next week and I’m going to sic him on the gauges too (I have numerous gauge bulbs burned out also)

    GS1000S tripmeter won’t reset?

    Like the subject says…. Ever since I bought my 1980 GS1000S earlier this year, the tripmeter has given me fits. Sometimes, it resets with a single push. Other times, it takes a dozen or more attempts before it suddenly resets. Today, nothing would make it work. I wiggled and pushed and twisted...

    GS1000S replacement mirrors?

    I should add that Rob has been amazingly helpful. I actually turned the mirror kit over to a semi-pro to finish for me. He failed to RTFM and glued the glass in before joining the two halves of the assemblies. When he tried to get the glass out, both broke! He contacted Rob, who sent...
