Post by: Fritz on January 13, 2012, 12:26:13 AM

Finally got to the 1100 GS I picked up in Kamloops 2 years ago thanks to FFF....
This is the Red and White one Stu and Mike used to have...
Really leaked a lot of oil ...Bad....

The 2 Head Bolt seals at the front of engine were Hard and brittle....

Ooh, liking the black and red much better - more like the European version of the ES, which looks very racy to my eye.  I see Five-bike's signature red brake stay made it's way onto this bike as well.  I had to do a toy run in the smoke this bike was trailing a couple of years back;  good job that you found and fixed the leak.

Looks like they copied the BSA Rocket 3 and had to add one more cylinder so it could keep up Fritz.

Thanks for the offer...maybe next time   ;D

Took it for a Ride out to Mud River and around Beaverly....need to find some tires now....Front Brakes need some help....maybe a Fork brace search is in order...some wiring issues....signals etc.
