    Weird that somebody would pull a fake picture of a scam ad and bring it HERE to start a rebuild thread? Makes no sense whatsoever. What was he going to gain by it?
    Current stable:

    85 Kawasaki ZL900 Eliminator
    87 Kawasaki ZL1000 Eliminator
    99 Kawasaki ZRX1100 Eddie Lawson replica
    15 Yamaha VMAX - The Maroon Monsoon

      what happened to the 1100GK?
      1983 GS 1100 Guided Laser
      1983 GS 1100 G
      2000 Suzuki Intruder 1500, "Piggy Sue"
      2000 GSF 1200 Bandit (totaled in deer strike)
      1986 Suzuki Cavalcade GV 1400 LX (SOLD)

      I find working on my motorcycle mildly therapeutic when I'm not cursing.

        sorry for the delay as I own a home and live in Mount Dora, FL , work in Crystal City, VA where I have an apartment, and a 2nd home in Lusby, MD. The gorgeous silver 1980 GS1100E and the 1976 KZ900B are at my home in FL and the 4 GS1100E's i want to restore are in the home in Maryland. As soon as I get home tonight I will take pics with a newspaper of the silver GS1100E and red KZ900B. You guys are a tough crowd! LOL!

          Until I get the pics posted. I purchased the bike from VJMOTO Lewisville, TX on EBAY on Feb 13, 2017 for $5,601. Goto http://www.vjmoto.com/vj-moto-gallery/ as they still have a pic of the GS1100E there. I arranged shipping with Joe Whelan of VJMOTO to my house in FL. Yes I bought it sight unseen and it has turned out to be a steal at $5601. Every where I go it's the main attraction. I love it so much I bought 4 more that I want to restore. I am posting a screen shot of my ebay purchasing history.EBAY.jpg

                  I was in the USAF @ Norton AFB in San Bernardino, CA from 1979 to 1987. I ran with a crowd who were famous motorcycle racers in the area, Turbo Fred Yeager and Nitrous Gray Brunelle (he authored a book on nitrous and motorcycles). Through these 2 I met Terry Vance, Byron Hines, and PeeWee Gleason. As they all became famous and I did not, I'm sure they don't remember me. Gary and I were the 1st to turbocharge a 1984 Ninja 900 with help from American Turbo Pak. Norm of Norms Motorcycle in San Bernardino can verify all of this.... This is where I had my 1st 1981 GS1100E and loved it. Over the years I've had multiple bikes, but always liked the older Japanese classics. This year for my 60th birthday my wife allowed me to purchase the silver GS1100E that has spurred so many comments. I assure all of you that me and my bikes are authentic....

                          OK now that that is settled; my only reason for posted on GSRESOURCES is to find like minded Suzuki fans that could help me restore the 4 in MD. I see several of you are from FL. If I were to bring 2 of them here to Mount Dora? I'm just looking for guidance through the motor rebuilding process. It's been 35 years since I did one and even then I had professional guidance and with the cost of a crank, piston kit, clutch basket, and a gasket set; I don't want to mess this up...

                            Sorry about that! We've been scammed, conned and drawn into bait and switches enough that we're a bit gun shy sometimes. I have to admit that all the scam criteria seemed to fit, but I couldn't figure out where the hook was. LOL

                                I'd be glad to help anyway I can. I'm not that far away.
