well i just picked up a 82 1100. Love this sucker... the prev owner pulled off the mufflers, and put on strait pipes, has a decent sound to it... however, out of the right pipe it smokes, inside the pipe is a black oily residue, it has a strong gas smell coming from the pipe once in a while... i have been told that could be the head gasket, but i figured i woudl pop in and ask the pro's... any ideas? i still have to go though the bike really well and sync the carbs tighten everything up, and clean the whole thing... but i do not want to ride this thing around with that gas smell, i smell like i just mowed the lawn when i get off it!
