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.

I am trying to equip my 1983 gs1100g bike with a rack/rest setup.

Can anyone tell me if one from a 1981 GS850G would work?

Are there any companies that sell these for my bike?

Thanks.
 
Ya, I am planning on bidding on that rack/rest but it would be nice if I was sure it will fit.
 
luggage rack and back rest

luggage rack and back rest

I had a GS650G some years ago, and recently bought a GS850G. When I bought the 650, I bought a KG brand luggage rack and back rest. The back rest could be adjusted for either a solo rider or a passenger in just a few seconds. Construction quality is very high. Searches in Ebay motors for "luggage rack" usually turn up 9 pages of results. Several are usually KGs. They can be recognized by (1) wide in front, a bit narrower in the back (2) bars go forward and backward instead of sideways (3) rubber strips on the bars, but they are often missing. The sissy bars are about 20" high, but the pad is only in the middle and is sort of triangular. The KG luggage rack was adjustable to fit many bikess. There might have been several models to span all bikes. I just won an auction for one removed from a Yamaha XS11, and I hope that it fits my GS850. I'll probably put a top box on it, and chose one that has a back rest pad for a passenger. If you want to see what they look like, email me and I'll return an Ebay URL with photos of one.
