    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    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.

Does anyone know what is involved with mounting a '84 GS1150 engine into a '83 GS1100E frame?
 
The 1150 motor will bolt right in, it is a direct fit. You can even use the 1100 exhaust if you want. But you will find that the 1100 uses a cable driven Tachometer and the 1150 uses a electronic tach. your tachometer will no longer work with this motor and your stock guages
 
Or you can use the crank trigger & mechanical advancer from your 1100 on the 1150 engine. You will need to use the 1100 ignition cover or drill a hole in your 1150 ignition cover as the 1100 mechanical advancer sticks out further than the fixed advancer from the 1150. Ray.
 
You'll find the bike vibrates more than the 1100 with stock front engine mounting plates.

I had a machine shop graft on the rubber dampers from the 1150 onto the front engine mounting plates. Seemed to quell the buzz a bit.
