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.

Steve, thank you. But, where exactly did you find it?

Did you notice the link in my post?
Click on it, you will go to that site.
Then scroll down the left side, look for "Suzuki GS Series", click on it.
Now scroll down the left side again, look for "Suzuki GS1100E", click on it.
Now, in the right side of the screen, you will see the history of the 1100E. Scroll down to the bottom, you will see several lines that start with "More: ...". One of those says "More: GS1100E / GSX1100E in numbers (more specs)". Click on that and read through the specs.
.
Factory manual says "Caster" is 62 degrees. This is apparently referenced from the horizontal even though the convention is the vertical.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caster_angle
So to reference the vertical:
head stock angle is = 90-Caster = 90-62=28 degrees
Edit: (Sorry to double post Ed) Funny they list a different angle between EZ (28 degrees) and SD (28.5 degrees)

I picked up three bikes last week. :-# '83 Katana 1100, '90 GSXR750, '91GSXR1100.
Too much time on your hands, or just too good of a deal? Pics?
