    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.

Ok my wife nicknamed my 1983 GS1100E Ladybug....

Bought the bike as pictured with PM wheels, rotors, calipers,...

Just took the clutch cover off and wow - straight cut gears!!!

Someone really loved this bike back in the day.

I'm on a mission to bring back to its glory!!! If anyone knows the history of this specific bike out of Florida pls contact me.

Well heeeelllooo lady (bug). Looks like some tasty mods.

Are the front brakes adapted from another bike or completely aftermarket?

Edit..
Oops, I see PM brakes listed as well.

I haven't seen a set of those Chicane wheels from PM for a while.
The vintage road racers were using them for the weight savings.
What carbs came with this brute?
 
Old set of RS36, but I've gone a little crazy and bought new RS36, new KN filters, new Dyna coils, new side covers (need painting), new PM calipers, and new stainless steel brake lines. Also been hoarding some other parts like a Grimeca master cylinder and Yoshimura header. Hoping to get her running this weekend. I'll take some updated pics and post Sunday night. I'm looking for new OEM 1983 clutch plates, both types. I here 83 plates thinner so it could hold a couple more plates? Also heavy duty clutch springs. Thanks for the encouragement!
 
Amazing. What a find with all those goodies. That Ladybug will definitely fly pretty fast.

I have some very nice, barely used GS1100 friction and steel plates if your interested. I live just up the road in Jax, Fl. Just measured them, they are exactly 3mm (frictions). I have 9 of each.....Billy
