    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...

    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.

GS1100G to E conversion possible?

Hi Guys, just a question for you old timers.
How easy would it be to convert an 1100G to an 1100E? Can it be done by just swapping the head? Can an 1100E engine be easily swapped into an 1100G frame? What about the drive shaft?
Let me know, thanks
 
8 valve & 16 valve motors have different bore & stud spacing. Could it be done? Yes, just about anything can. Would you be better off just getting an E model bike? Oh YEAH! Ray.
 
Plus, there are probably a lot of folks out there who would gladly buy the convenience of a shafty, allowing you the $ to make the switch to an E model.
 
Agreed Ray. For the amount of money involved, you could simply buy an 1100E. There would be an intensive amount of effort involved in changing the motor mounts, and the swingarm mounts (completely different at the frame). Plus, Im not possitive, but i think the frame for the 1100G is simply heavier than the one for the E. Its just not worth the effort. The heads will not swap, and the jugs and pistons are different as well.
