GS750, whatelse will fit?

[Hammered]

Im working on a 1982 GS750. The upper part of the engine is gone and Im wondering what else will fit the motor mount config of this frame. Reason Im asking is I dont have a jig to relocate new mounts and ensure they will be straight. Im hoping a 550 up will.

Thanks for your time.

1100 would be my first choice.

Any of the gs/ gsx range should fit ok & you wont need a jig to sort out the engine mounts some of the original mounts may fit (depending on the engine you chose) & the others can be easilly made with simple tools

The only other problems i forsee is exhaust clearance due to different engine heights (again this depends on the engine you chose) & maybe a small amount of electrical work

This is what I was hoping. Im having a hell of a time finding a rebuildable 750 at a reasonable price (lord only knows why) But there have been a slew of 550s, 650s and 1100s

I am under the impression that the majority of 650s that were sold were shaft-drive, so be careful that you are only looking at a 650E, not a G or GL.

Good to know. Thanks for the input. Hate to have to start looking for a shaft swing and hub as well.

Just a minute where did this come from
if we are talking about a shaft drive bike here my previous post may be wrong

You were on the right track.

Thier was a Japan only 750 shafty. Only seen pictures YES the 650 was made in both versions chain & shaft Also the 1100 was made both as a 2 valve shaft drive motor and a 4 valve chain drive motor SO make sure it is a chain drive motor
