    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.

I have acquired a 92 GSXR 750 engine and plan on swapping it into my 86 GS550 ES (GSX550 katana) :twisted: :twisted:. anybody done this before? I would welcome any comments. I still need some parts yet so..... I have measured and it seems it will fit.
 
I'm assuming it is an Oil cooled 750 sounds like an excellent swap, But you are going to have to do some fabrication for motor mounts and exhaust. Some one may have a better idea as to what has to be done
 
yeah it is a SACS(oil air cooled engine) I am no stranger to fabrication. I am equipped with oxy, acetalene and a mig welder so steel mods are no prob. I have the Yosh exhaust from the Gixxer with a race can so I can modify that to fit. I will be fitting different foot controls or making my own to make room for it. I also have a rear suspension from a 91 Gixxer to go on. I just need to figure out the best way to calculate the position of the linkage and upper shock mounts. :D
 
The Gixxer motor probably isn't much bigger than your old 550 unit. The alternator sits behind the cylinders so the left side of the motor is narrower and the ignition on the right side is more compact. The only problem might be the heighth of the Gixxer motor. You can always slant it forward a bit for more clearance.
