    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.

I have an 82 GS1100 but the engine and carbs are black.

Are there any outward identifiers aka serial # or bolt patterns that i can look to to see if it is a 1982 or 1983?

the # on the engine is GS110X-147303

Or do i have to investigate the crank end to see if it has the bigger generator bolt or end or something???


Thanks guys.
 
if it begins with GS110 then its an old one. if the cam end caps are smooth that's another giveaway
 
nope...in the USA GSX110 runs from 80-83 on the 1100 16 valve engines.
also VC beauty covers can be changed.
20 bolt VC is 80/81
24 bolt VC is 82/83..83 is factory black.
