My new 81 GS1100E came with a cafe style seat and clubman bars, but the stock foot peg/control locations. It's actually surprisngly nice as-is, but for a little better body position and the right look I'm debating running rearsets. Does anyone make a decent quality bolt-on set specifically for the 1100? Or am I struck with adapting a "universal" set, pr piecing together from newer factory bits with some custom work? Any advice appreciated.

Those look awesome, but most of the listings are for euro spec models. E-mailed to inquire if they carried a set for my bike, or could shed any light on cross-compatibility, but the owner responded and was less than helpful. I suspect the version for the 1980 GSX1100 would work? I think thats what they called the GS1100E outside the US? And I don't think there are any significant differences between the 1980 and 81 model years?
 
Yes the GS designation was retained for North America when they started making the four valve engines.
GSX in other markets.

According to the parts schematics the '80 and '81 footpeg holders are the same part number so i suspect they would be compatible.
I would check back with Fast on their return policies if there is an issue before ordering.
 
Ooohhh? I want a set for my 77 GS750. Has anyone ordered from there before?
 
I bought a set for my ''77 gs750 from them. There was 1 tiny little rod end missing from the package, I contacted them and they had it right out to me. Good quality, work great. Not cheap though...
 
I've got a set on my 82. Built well and easy to install. About the only small improvement I'd make is the shift peg diameter is larger than I care for.
 
Tarozzi all the way. The ones on my S model bolted right on in about 15 minutes w/o any modifications and have performed flawlessly for almost 11 years now. $300 at the time, but worth it for the quality.
 
I put Raask rearsets on my GS11es years ago and have found them to be very durable and suitable for me. I've never tried the Tarozzi brand
