gsxr750 motor + 550e frame

[GODZILLA]

Can anyone tell me if and how to put a oil-cooled gsxr750 motor on a 1980gs550e frame?

you will have to take measurements to make sure the motor will physically fit (which I doubt, at least without frame modifications). check out...

he has plans on there for motor mounts that may work.

thanks

I am pretty sure it will fit, b/c during my search in this forum someone said that Nerobro or Robinjo had done it before. I think it was Robinjo. I just cant find the daggone specifics. But thanks for the link, it may shed some light on this draconious prdicament I am in.:-D

Somebody did it in 'Yurp and posted it on www.oldskoolsuzuki.info a year or two ago. iirc alot of frame mods were involved to get the new motor in. I think it is too tall to fit within the frame rails, so they had to raise the top rails a little to get it in. Go search around on their .info board and have a look see. Almost every suzuki motor swap has been performed by those crazy guys and gals....

Yep, it can be done. See the above link thread.

Any questions, let me know.
