    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    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.

Hello Everyone,

I just picked up an 83 GS1100E here in Phoenix, AZ. I got the bike for $950 mostly complete, pretty much just missing the side panels, needs a choke cable, and has a bit of an electrical glitch. I'll post up some pics later on. I'm looking forward to learning as much as I can about the bike and will be using the forums here to gain knowledge.
 
Thanks! I really like the styling of the early 80's sport bikes. Hopefully I'll be able to sort this one out quickly and have her back on the road.
 
Welcome!

Please find the New Member Welcome sticky thread, it's chocked full of useful information.

Good luck.
 
here a few pics of the bike from the PO.....








I'll be starting up a second thread if I cant find what I'm looking for on the wiring issues.

Thanks!

Cool! Definitely needs some cleaning, but looks to be intact down to the original exhaust which is rare.
FYI, the side panels are notorious for having the mounting tabs breaking off, likely the reason there not there.
 
I was surprised by how complete it is. I don't think the seat is original, maybe from a different GS, and the sissy bar wont be going back on it. I also am not a fan of the current paint job, and the front fender being backwards....lol
