    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.

Here's my 1980 GS1100E. I'm the second owner...bought if from the original owner in a state of mild disrepair. Still in pretty good shape, but had sat in the garage for quite a while (he said two years, but I'm suspicious). Rebuilt the carbs, refreshed the carb boots (wintergreen oil and xylene!), polished the case covers, replaced the fork seals, installed new wheel bearings and tires, and a gave it a thorough scrubbing. I'm still working on finishing it up and replacing parts to bring it back to factory fresh (or close to it) condition. Parts I'm still looking for:

Good condition exhaust (this one is functional, but has significant rust pitting and a few small holes)
Right side frame cover (this one would be great except for a crack and resultant large paint chip)

I'll keep my eye on ebay and facebook marketplace, but if you have either of these, I'd love to hear from you.

I have a maybe better 80/81 exhaust but cracked in the collector like most are. I will try to drag it out and take pics. Shipping is a killer though, Amazon has driven the rates for the rest of us WAY up. Last one I bought was $160 usps shipping :(

Check with trippivot, he is in Iowa too and has a LOT of GS stuff.
 
Thanks for the reply. I believe I've found a replacement exhaust and should be on its way from Indiana. Still on the lookout for a sidecover. I'll try to get in touch with trippivot.

Hello Barber 1303,

I am searching for a decent stock exhaust replacement for a 1980 GS1100E. I see you found one in Indiana. Any leads on any more?

Thanks,

Rossiter
