It's always the little things. After pondering for a bit I decided to order up some more decals. I had Brian at BD Designs out of Canada make up a set in White. 1982 were black with the E being in red.

A lot of measuring and luckly had the right cover for reference. The angle on the top of cover throws you off but I used blue 3M tape to get a straight line.

There were black strips in the front of the covers as well as model identification.



One side...






Then the other...

I had the red 83' GS1100ED w/ the black engine and exh.,really Much more bike than I needed and if I had the choice between my 1100 and the 400 you have there,I would want the 400.  :)
I really never needed all that Big top-end power of the 1100.

Oh yeah  8)  ;D
 I bought mine on Cape Cod in the early 90's and then took it back onto Martha's Vineyard Island where the speed limit is 45 max.. I then did a big engine building project on it w/ special ported head,balanced crank,etc. with Mikuni flat slides and Web cams Wiseco 1170cc kit and all on that little island full of tourists in the Summer.  ::)  :D The bike was more than I needed  even on the mainland.
Who needs 160mph+ ? I slowed way down and now I'm enjoying the 'Journey' Much more  ;)

I like when I can keep my speeds to the point where I can see/remember the peripheral part of the ride;the speeds I was going everything was a blur before.
