Is a GSX1100ET the "please phone home" model?

Yes Mr Hitcher,you are quite correct, but if you recall 1981 was before cellphones,so you could not ring home anyway!!
For your info,its was the first model GSX1100,with the square headlight
Midlife Crisis, or trying relive my youth??

Classic bike.

I had one, quite a few years back. I had the 750 also, nothing like it's big brother. There was a wrecker in Levin that had a few bikes back then, don't know if he's still there. Good luck.

Hey Madness,yeah great old bike,I am pleased I actually managed to get my old bike back,at least I know its history
As for spares,a spare swing arm would be nice,so I could brace one up & still keep a standard one,slim style tank & some standard exhausts,but we will see!!

Do I detect the aroma of post classic racing in the air?

No way mate,been there done that 1981 GPZ1100,painted up like a Eddie Lawson replica,had the biggest racing moment of my life,but stayed on & never raced it again
It was the biggest rear slide I have had coming out of the sweeper at Manfeild,thought "yeah man I am Eddie",then the thing bit,wallowed,wobbled & weaved so bad all the way down past the star/finish line,I kacked myself
So it will be restored & riden with her indoors on the back on nice sunny days

I spotted a couple of after market ones hanging on hooks at Hastings Honda end of last year.

I've got an 81 GSX750EX.

I'm after a RH side cover and badge for it if anyone has any.

Hey Bonez,thanks for the reply,I have one GSX750 badge,but did a search,Google is your friend,found a website in the States www.alpha-sports.com ,which has most parts,I got a whole lot of bits on Friday,they were brand new Suzuki parts still in the bags,was amazed,new headlight,headlight surround,left indicator switch block & fuel tap,as I say all brand new,prices werent that bad either,arrived in about a week or so
Needless to say I will be shopping there in the future
I finally got my 1100 running properly yesterday,the fuel tap was the final hold up,rode it around the block,my how technology has changed in 26 years,but still very cool,will get it a warrant next week & will be all legal
