    will it fit?

    will a 1980 16v 1100l motor fit into an 83 1100e frame?, i have roughly measured and it does look like it will, but so many of you guys have done similar swaps someone should know, thanks

    I'm not an expert but I think the engine is basically the same other than details on the inside.

    To measure is to know.

        yup it fits fine, but the "80" motor is the wrong color.

          yeah, but the wheels and speedo are already on my 82, the only cosmetic thing will be the foot pegs,and I am hoping to do the gsxr swap in the not to distant future.

            80 v.s. 83 16V GS1100

            108 vs. 111 hp
            20 vs. 24 bolt pattern on valve cover
            hour glass vs. square breather cover
            small vs large end crank
            not vs. welded crank
            smaller cams on 80
            chrome steel v.s. cast aluminum cam end cap side covers
            yea slower color
            valve seat details (if I got that right)


            can't think of anything else

            Bill?
