Just curious if anyone has attempted to retrofit the engine isolators and engine mounts from an 82-83 GS1100GK onto an older 1980+ GS1000/1100G?
I was looking at the design of the 1100GK and noticed that Suzuki used rubber isolators on every engine mounting point. 8 total isolators were used along with different diameter mounting bolts and some different mounting brackets. I know that the GK was designed as a touring machine so I'm assuming that they were doing this to reduce any vibration and resulting fatigue to the rider on long haul rides.
