    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I am Vary new to these bikes Will this be a striate swap? What is the difrance between the 2 engines? I am not looking for power i just want the bike on the road :)

I think it fits, never done it. They are the same basic shape and size.
Only real difference is CV carbs and four valves per cylinder, a different tappet arrangement.
 
I got the engine cheep so if all elce I will sell her off and find a 16v one :)

Only two of the six engine mounts will line up. You will need to cut the rear lower engine case to get it to fit between the frames. The airbox will not fit and the two styles of carbs cannot be swapped between engines. You will need to make all new engine mount brackets because none from either engine will line up or be long enough. I have done it, (81 750 engine into a 79 750 frame) but I will not do it again. It is way too much work.

I am going the other way from a 80 and putting in a 79 So the engine will be smaller so It should fit between the frame the mounts I am not worried about i just do not want to cut the engine.
