need urgent help (motors)
Can anyone help me out... I was wondering how well a GS500 motor say from a 05 will line up with with my 2001 GS500. I think they changed things around after 01, but if anyone could help me, and let me know what all i would need to do to do an engine swap, that would be great...

The bottom end of a GS500 is pretty bulletproof, so unless your tranny is trashed you might look into just rebuilding your top end...

Sounds like the shop has you over a barrel. You might be able to get them to stop the work and give you back the bike and motor in pieces. Then you could either part it out and recover some of the money or buy another '01 GS500, and use the first bike as a parts bike to keep the 2nd bike going for a while.
Sorry I wasn't more help...
