    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.

I have found an air box for a 1983 GS 1100 E and am wondering if anyone can tell me if it will fit my 1980 1100 E.
I am trying to go back to stock carbs and box instead of the 36 mm flat slides and pods that are on the bike now.

If someone has a set of carbs and an air box set up for my bike and would like to trade I am open to a deal. They would have to be bolt on and go condition. (mine are)
The flat slides on my bike are turn key and work perfectly. I treat the fuel with Marvel, a bit of dry gas, and long term ratio of Stabil every winter and they are not "green" in any way. The bike starts with a touch of the button every spring. They just are a bit to much for a stock engine at low RPM levels. Such as when traveling in "parade speed" stop and go traffic. The bike just runs real flat at low rpm. (under 3000 RPM) I assume due to the larger bore of the carbs. And it's not helped by my tall gearing.

I have a stock carb and airbox set-up from both a 1980 1100E and also from a 1983 GS1100E... and will trade with you.
