Hello, I bought a GS1150 EFE engine to install in my GS1000E project. Before you purists disown me, I was looking at a 5000 to redo my 1000 mill and the purchase of this 1150 was so cheap that I’m looking at about 1/3 the total cost. Now I heard this swap is doable. I understand I may need the forewarn engne mounts from the 1150 and use the 1000 rear and lower rear mount. If anyone can shine some light on this I would appreciate it. I will also send some pics.

Don't know myself but seen it done several times at the drag strip.It can be done with little hassle I believe.I know a friend that bought a 1260 pro built engine in a Gsxr 750 chassis.A learning process there..No bar bike 15 years ago.Blow the tire off at the line or try and Flip you over in 3rd,if you let it.Swat up and down in 4th and 5th.Sometimes leave the ground through the lights. Glad I was only the mechanic ...Finally managed the clutch and suspension and ran in the 7's after that good luck. I think the 1100 chassis is bit lighter then the 1150 can't confirm though.But I'm sure the knowledge on this site will prove worthy...Lots of smart people on here.Last edited by gs11ezrydr; 10-03-2019, 09:22 PM.sigpic 82 gs1100ez 1168 Wiseco,Web .348 Cams,Falicon Sprockets,Star Racing Ported Head,1mm o/s Stainless Valves,APE Springs,Bronze Guides,etc.APE Billet Tensioner,36CV Carbs,Stage 3 Dynojet,Plenum w/K&N filter,Trued,Welded,Balanced,Crank w/Katana rods & Billet left end, FBG backcut trans, VHR HD Clutch basket,APE nut,VHR High volume oil pump gears,1150 Oil cooler,V&H Megaphone header w/Competition baffle,Dyna S,Coils,Wires,etc.Other misc.mods.Comment

I've done the 1100 in 1000 frame. As I recall 1 or both of the bottom bolts do not not line up. some minor surgey removing the tab or tabs is required. The conversion seemed very straight forwardThe GS toys:
