GS seat, tank and tail unit on a GSX?

[Aussie GSX]

I tried searching but couldn't get an answer. I have a square headlight (puke) 16 valve GSX and would like to know if it is straightforward to change the bike back to round headlight and early eight valve tank, seat and tail section configuration?

probably not that easy considering that most of the mounting tabs for the gs and gsx range bodywork were all individual to the model concerned even though the general frame layout and construction were quite similar .

would it not make sense to find a rolling chassis for a gs thou and transplant the 16 valver into it (why i dont know)

as for the'' square headlight (puke)'' thing.....i think we should burn the heretic

The lights and gauges are easy, the early tank won't fit on the later frame, as the frame is too wide. Seats mount differently, too.

Anything can be done if your fabrication skills are good enough.

Yeah but what will it do to the value of the bike?

Ok thanks pretty simple question I thought. I have a GSX and I personally hate the square headlight so I want to change it back to round, not sure I need to be burned at the stake for that!!!! Unlike the good ol US and A GS's in Australia are hard to find and bloody expensive whereas the GSX isn't. Why ? I have no freakin idea. I just thought that if it wasn't too hard I would like to change them but as I can't I will persist with what I have.
