To install a Triumph 1050 engine into a GS frame?
Is it too tall? I haven't been able to measure it ... yet.
TIA,
Eric

Just got back from his house after being invited over to take another look.
He is, basically, giving me the entire bike!
16,000 miles on the engine.
My eldest Son borrowed my camera so no new pic's.
As he said to me when I made the 1100 engine fit into the 750 frame back in '93(?)
"It is crazy enough that it just might work."
That project has been working ever since so... :twistedevil:
128 HP and 77 pounds of torque with 12:1 compression ratio and fuel injection. :-k

I can't answer your question, but I like where this thread is going. Having ridden a Tiger 1050, I can vouch for the wonderful "punch" of that engine. The triple is a perfect balance between the torque of a twin and the high-end thrust of an I-4.
With some effort, anything is possible.

I got a friend who has two HarSuzki's.
One is a harley with a GS1100E engine.
The other is a 80 Suzuki GS1100e with one big harley carb, he rides it daily, someday I got to take pictures of both of them and post them.

The donor bike before the wreck...
Cell phone pic's of the parts...
Tank thrown on just because.
Basically what I would be dealing with.
The engine is an integral part of the frame.
Mounts will have to be made of course.
The radiator is tweaked on the left side but doesn't leak.
The oil cooler lines are snapped off. (I have tons of oil coolers.)
Doable.

You could always send me the bike, and I can convert my daily rider to a 1050 w/ single-sided swingarm

Did you ask if that bike ran on its side when it went down? If it doesnt have a tip over kill circuit, and it did run on its side it may well be on its way to engine heaven if it's not trash already...
Many newer bikes have such kill switches, but not all. It's worth inquiring about or checking out...

Anyhow, he said to come and get it! 
The forks and front tire from my spare GSX1100G will fit on it to at least get it loaded onto a trailer that another friend will loan me.
The friend with the trailer said that I could have his '86 KLR 600 while I was at it too!
These darn things just keep following me home!
Nice to have good friends!

Most 99' and up Triumphs do have a tip-over sensor for just that reason. They're all fuel-injected at least the 955, 1050, and 675 triples are, so it's one of those must-haves. I don't believe any of the bonnivilles/americas/thunderbirds have them, but I could be wrong.
