Time for another GS11 Resto-Mod

[jwhelan65]

So as most of you know I forfeited my 82 1100E in a sour business deal, so its time to re-think, recoup and rebuild. The donor is a really clean non-running
8311ED I picked up from a buddy who was going to restore it. The skinny.. missing carbs, ignition cover and countless other little items but overall a perfect project starting point.

Over the years I have collected a lot of the conversion parts so the base set up should come together quickly.

Good luck! Keep us posted. I really want to see how you do such an amazing job with your bikes.

I must've missed your 1100 dramas Joe, bugger! Will be tuning into this one for sure

My Kat is also missing a lot of little bits and pieces, so I know what you mean there!

 

[nvr2old]

Oh boy, Joe! Always look forward to one of your resto-modded bikes.

Compliments to Isleoman here on the board, I saved all the jigs he provided for the rear sets and exhaust hanger.

Joe,

Happy building on the next one. There are subtle differences between the 83 and 82 mounting points on the frame. So be sure and check your existing templates on your 83 frame before making your mounting plates out of aluminum.

For others the dimensions for the 83 rear set mounting blocks are in the link above and should give you all you need to provide to a water jet device or a machinist. It can be done with home tools and a welder but will take much longer. The holes for the rear sets are spaced for ZX12 Kawasaki parts but if you have or want to use something else just change those holes.

Thanks Isleo, you get all the credit on these.

Nah, don't do it although not everyone can keep up with Joe, we can all benefit from each other's threads. :victorious:
