1983 Suzuki GS Description:

1983 Suzuki GS1100E

Black/red corbin seat, dyna ignition, Italianmade front fork support, braided brake lines, new brake pads, newer battery/stator/rectifier, mac 4 into 1 header, kbr racing top end oiler, ape manual timing chaintensioner, newer shinko tires, air pods for carbs. The paint is ok for its age, has some scratches but not bad for a 34 year old bike. I have the original side fairings, front fender, headlight, and turn signals (Not currently installed, but will include those in the sale). I have a clean & clear title for the bike too btw.

Now for the issues: Could use a front fork rebuild as the are seals starting to leak (I have a set I can give you). The front brake line and/or caliper is leaking brake fluid. There is an oil leak from the front of the motor, the previous owner tried to RTV it to make it stop leaking but that obviously didn't work. When I got it a few years ago I put a new battery,stator,and rectifierin it and replaced the rectifier gasket (during install). I rode it a handful of times back in the summer of 2014 and it has been sitting in my garage since, waiting to be worked on (never happened, don't have the time, not will I any time soon). It is not starting now, but the battery may just be dead since it has been sitting. Trying to be upfront as possible about the condition, to be clear it probably needs at least some of the above issues fixed to be in rideable condition, or at least very thoroughlygone over. The bike is obviously sold AS-IS and shown and has no warranty.

If you know your way around these bikes this would make great restoration project or cheap race bike as these GS1100E motors can handle a lot of power (once they are not leaking oil, of course). These were one of the fastest bikes on the road back when they were new and the few times I rode it, it was still wicked fast

Pickup is free! Located in the west suburbs of Chicago. Shipping would be 100% on the buyer, but I will assist in any way I am able if you are buying it from out of state. If you get it running you are more than welcome to ride it away but I would recommend planning on trailering it out. Bike is listed locally I have the right to cancel all bids if it sells. No reserve, good luck!! Contact me with any questions and I will do my best to answer them.
