gs750 to gs1150 swap??

[Guest]

i was given my fathers 1978 gs750 all stock a few years back and have been riding/modding it for a while now. over the summer i had the starter clutch break and blow through the stator cover and took out part of the cases aswell.

my grandfather has (3) 1984 gs1150 bikes and one parts bike with a good motor and front end

has anyone ever done this swap? is it possible? from what i gather it should fit with some custom mounts.

also how about swapping the front end so i can run the bigger dual brake setup?

any info/ideas would be great

thanks!

Just build one of the 1150s. A MUCH better bike all the way around than the 750 you have. Ray.

I also have a 78 gs750 mine was a very good friends old drag bike, mine was also given to me so it is special to me. On mine I did a 79 1000 motor swap and 81 gs1100e front end complete and the swing arm and rear wheel and brake from the same. The motor swap was as easy as making new motor plates. The lower rear mount is the same and you make new plates from there. On my front end swap I bought stem bearings from all balls made to do front end swaps. They should be able to help you also.

I have a 78 750, so a 78 1000cc will fit in?

Yes but you have to make new motor plates, the lower rear one is ok and you must make new from there. Also you must use pods or move the air box ahead about a inch.
