The engine came painted in black on the 1983 GS 1100 SD.
Here's the one I restored

That's restored? Where's the seat strap?
Just kidding that is a beauty
If I can get the 82 my son and I are working on to look anything like that would be fantastic.

Believe it or not, I bought a new seat strap but kept it off the bike to keep the seat line intact
To encourage you in your restoration, here's what my Kat looked like when I bought it

DITTO! I have to agree! Is the Black one a stock color?
Going out on a limb here...but no doubt the sexiest bike ever produced!

No, the black is not stock, the 1981 and 1982 1100 Katana was only released in the all silver version worldwide.

Thanks Shin! Didn't think it was, but wasn't totally sure!

Welcome to the site, Dave.
Beautiful Kats.
The Yosh on your current bike sure does tuck up nicely for clearance.
There are a couple Ottawa guys on the site.
