Curious, but what was the reason for using a gs850 headlamp over the original?

Hey Rhys! Know I'm late to this video by several years, but how have you liked the Joker sprocket cover? Do you think it's led to any increased rate of wear and tear on the chain and front sprocket? It's super cool-looking.

Me I start with Yamaha XS 1100 red win square gaz tank, then change for Suzuki GS 1100 e black square tank..the first 16 valves. then FJ 1100 Yamaha...The Kawasaki GPZ red , Then Suzuki Rg 500 Gama, then Suzuki GSX-R 1100 1986...it was my last one. and now 30 years later I have a project of CX 500 Honda cafe racer....not for speed as you can see ! But I would love to have a Suzuki 1100 1982 with new componants forks wheels...and the sound of a 4 cylinders...so strong ! Nice bike !

I just drove my 82 GS 1100EZ the other day. It is rough it needs a restoration mainly the upper end and carbs. In heavy winds it got about 24 mpg US the other day. rear sprocket is too large, great for wheelies but not good on freeway. I look forward to tinkering with it soon. It also needs help with carburation. Never set up properly with stage 3 kit and so it doesn't pull smoothly.

Is it a good system? Easy to install? I guess you bought the whole kit comes with the coil as well. Do you mind share your build because i'm thinking of doing a similar set up. Where did you get the rear sets? Is it difficult to tune the bike after you put the pod filter on? Thanks for sharing!
