I am trading some stuff for 1987 1100. The seller says he was told there is something wrong with the wiring harness . Whoo knows what means. I will see it in a few days. It will be 4 gs bikes i have owned. Does this one have shim and bucket valve adjustment?

About to get 87 1100

Sure that year is correct? The only 87 1100 I see is a GSX-R1100. Pics would help.
GSXR-1100 is what I was thinking. Truly a beast in it's day. I recall that Cycle World had to lower the front to get a quarter mile time. The front wheel just would not remain earthbound.
That would be either a GSXR or the more civilized Katana whose engine was basically a slightly detuned GSXR engine. Both are shim under bucket. Been there done that, not as scary as it sounds. I don't remember them making an 1100 cruiser that year ......could be wrong though.
Its what the guy said in his ad. It looks like my 80 gs 1000 only his is a 1100. I wont know till sunday.might not be an 87, it for sure isnt a katana or E, looks like a G. He has the harness untaped, laying across the top of the frame.it has one pipe each side.the tank is shaped like my olg gs 1000. I thought about 85 they went to locknut setscrew . The pics are so few cant tell if cam end caps are round or square
G should be shaft drive and 8 valve shim over bucket. I believe all the chain drive 1100s were 16 valve/screw adjust valves. Need pics.
Soon as I get it i will post lots of pictures. I have owned about 75 motorcycles. My favorite was my 80 gs 1000L. I know people here dont like L bikes. I can tell this is chain. I thinks its probably 82 gs 1000. I will be asking questions about the harness.
I got the vin.its a 82 1100 gk. Somebody took off the fairings,bags, put a round Aftermarket headlight and rear tail and signals.i will post lots of pictures sunday evening.
I just got it unladed.vin says 82 1100 gk.ive never seen a gk in person.but pis show fairing,bags,etc.this has none of that. It looks like someone went ctazy with the wires.its almost dark.will try to take pics.
