Difference between 1100e and others

[ksson]

Hi everyone,

I am about to buy a GSX 1100E 1982

when I try to google it there seems to be a lot of different versions of it and I can’t seem to find the difference’s between them.

Is there any major differences between the version like E F G ES and so on.

this specific one has the title GSX 1100E

Many thanks in advance.

have you got a pic of it ? 

[ksson]

Yeah sure. I bought it but I would still like to know the difference between them and what parts fit what bike.

That is a GSX1100EZ in the UK.

VERY basically the 1100E from 1980 - 83 shares the same basic engine and frame but have different bodywork.  yours is like the MK2 version.  I have an 1100E"T" 1980 which has the more squarer bodywork that ran for 3 years. 

my "ET"

cheers      yeah the engines are basically the same but I would use the VIN number if you order any parts, just in case.

Cool, i just got the one i bought up and running with new oil and battery it started pretty easy

But what sites to order parts from ?

And is there any good sites i should know that are GOTO parts shop ?

I found the cmsnl site is there other good sites ? It doesnt have to be OEM. Right now i was looking for the right handlebar switch with the light switch and

cant seem to find it anywere, are the supply for sparepart good for this bike or is it difficult to find them ?

 

Best regards

im after one as well !!!!  keep checking the bay for new and used parts.  one good thing with suzuki's is a lot of parts are interchangeable from model to model.

You can the switch gear from later Suzuki's if you don't mind fiddling with the wiring. Bandit or gsxr
