I just looked at it. I ended up not buying it. Owner was giving me bad vibes and there was some stuff wrong or not working. I’ll save my money for something nicer

Those are all good considerations. Thank you. He’s asking $4000. I think that sounds fair but maybe I’m wrong?

I would definitely want to add an oil cooler. How should I go about that? Are there kits I can still buy or would I have to make something? I’ll ask the owner what he thinks about it too.

Thanks for all the responses. I will remember them the more I ponder the purchase. It's located close to where I live so I'll get a better idea when I see it and take a test ride. Also, get to meet the owner to get a feel for him and see what he says in person. Here are a few pictures too.

Hello, I'm new to this forum but thanks for adding me. Near me a quite nice 1982 GS1100e has come up for sale and I think I want to buy it as he's asking a fair price. The only problem is that it has some pretty extensive engine work such as a 1300cc big bore, aggressive cams, welded crank, back cut trans, carbs, the whole thing. Should I be worried about things like reliability? I can work on my own stuff for sure but I was kind of wondering what all "comes with the territory" when buying something this modified. The seller seems to be very knowledgeable and upfront so I'm not worried about him. Should I just pull the trigger and live a little? Or could this be a potential nightmare? Thanks for reading!
