Will this '83 stuff fit on my ol' '81 GL1100?
I'm not sure about the evolution of the frame after '81.

Yes it will. The 83 has the trunk rack moved rearward to make more pillion room, but themounting subframes will all bolt straight onto the bike and your luggage will bolt straight onto the 83 frames.

Thanks again, Al! That kind of info is invaluable. You know what "they say" about experience.... you pay for every little bit of it you get! LOL

Lots of people fitted the later trunk rack to their early gl1100's as it did give a fair bit more pillion room.
