    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.

Hi All,

First time poster, good to have stumbled across this great forum!
I have a 1978 GS750E (pic attached) that I would like to fit an 87 GSXR engine to.

I realize there will be an adapter plate required for the engine mounting however I have concerns about the gearbox meeting up.
Any other potential issues I might face attempting this?

Thanks!
 
Whoa, mate, I'd leave her be. She looks fantastic!

I see you've gone the pods and exhaust route, if you're after more power go a camshaft or 850 pistons. Fitting an 87 engine *may* be possible but you'd also have to cater for the large oil cooler and dramatically increased horsepower. I'm not sure if you could do it, and if you coould it would probably be a very time consuming and probably expensive endeavour.
