    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.

can i use a 1980 Suzuki GS 1000 G head on my 1978 GS1000
are the intake boots interchangeable and so on and what are the differences between them ??
also is there anyone here that can port and polish it if i send it to them
 
I know the chain drive 1980 head will have bigger intake ports, not sure about the shaftie though.
Dont think the boots will swap.
If you have the 1980 carbs it might work.
Sorry I think the postage might be a killer for me to clean the head up for you.
Cheers
 
The 80 head will use CV carbs, yours will not. Im not even sure they are the same part number, tho I DO know that they both used the same head in 80 and on.
 
The head will bolt up, but as mentioned the intake system is different. My 1000 has a G head.
