    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 wanted to know if it was possible to transplant the electronic ignition from a 1983 gs-x 750ex/z into a 1977 gs750B with points ignition. Will it work? would I need to swap the coils?
Any advice welcomed. By the way i do already have dyna ignition in my other suzuki so Know this option is available, but have an old parts donor gsx750ex/z bike and was interested if it would work.
 
Pretty sure it doesn't.... electronic advance. I suspect the advance curve would also be wrong moving from a 16v to an 8v.

I used an electronic ignition fron an 82 GS1100L to replace the points in a 78 GS1000 shoved into a 750 frame. I remember having to modify the crankshaft bolt in order to get the reluctor on. Other than that, everything worked. I used the stock coils, and found a spot next to the battery box to bolt the gigantic metal CDI unit to.
