    Is my chain too tight?

    Yes that is what I was thinking. I will have to run 2 master links in order to take care of this. Its funny that when I hooked the master link on the chain there seemed to be plenty of slack.

    1981 gs1100e chain and sprockets

    Don't know if this helps but on my 82 1100E I ordered from Amazon Sunstar sprockets 18 front 50 rear and 530 DID X ring chain and that came to right at $200. so if you can get the same quality on eBay for $113. that's a good deal but I don't think it will be the same quality

    Can't find a Petcock for my 81 GS650E

    Now you guys have me thinking. The same kit I ordered is for the 650 as well as the 1100e. The fuel tube that is missing was evidently pressed into the petcock. I think I may be able to thread the outlet and use a screw in fitting. I will check that out tomorrow.
