    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.

Im working on a 1982 GS750. The upper part of the engine is gone and Im wondering what else will fit the motor mount config of this frame. Reason Im asking is I dont have a jig to relocate new mounts and ensure they will be straight. Im hoping a 550 up will.

Thanks for your time.
 
Any of the gs/ gsx range should fit ok & you wont need a jig to sort out the engine mounts :D some of the original mounts may fit (depending on the engine you chose) & the others can be easilly made with simple tools

The only other problems i forsee is exhaust clearance due to different engine heights (again this depends on the engine you chose) & maybe a small amount of electrical work

This is what I was hoping. Im having a hell of a time finding a rebuildable 750 at a reasonable price (lord only knows why) But there have been a slew of 550s, 650s and 1100s
 
I am under the impression that the majority of 650s that were sold were shaft-drive, so be careful that you are only looking at a 650E, not a G or GL.

Good to know. Thanks for the input. Hate to have to start looking for a shaft swing and hub as well.

Just a minute where did this come from :confused:
if we are talking about a shaft drive bike here my previous post may be wrong :confused:
 
Thier was a Japan only 750 shafty. Only seen pictures YES the 650 was made in both versions chain & shaft Also the 1100 was made both as a 2 valve shaft drive motor and a 4 valve chain drive motor SO make sure it is a chain drive motor
