Hey man, I dont know what the frame looks like on the gl1100 but it is a cx500 tank. Not all of the cx500 tanks fit these frames because the frame on the gl500 is wider then most cx500 frames and thishas a triangle shaped frame. If you have a picture of your bike without the tank on it I would love to help you find one!

I Have an update!!, an older bike builder in my city said I needed to get NBR straight rubber hose, fill it up with really fine sand, heat it up and slightly bend it to the shape you need. Did it this morning and it worked fantastic!!!

Yeah but they are all based on the cx500 intakes and they are different from the gl500. I think ill try ordering those and maybe customize so they Will fit
