    OK, what bikes?

    Exactly what do you mean by "engine codes"?

        Hi Mr. Stormstyles,

        My bike (GS850GT) has an engine number on the top right side of the crankcase, behind the #4 cylinder, just where the clutch cable attaches. Then if you look on the steering stem behind the forks, you'll find the frame number and VIN. All of this information should be in your owner's manual.


        Thank you for your indulgence,

          Well I have bought some parts bikes and building a 750 bobber for myself. Well when I bought this other bike it is an 850. But the reason iam asking this question is because a while back as asked if i could do a 850 top end on my 750 and they said yes but only if it was a certain engine code to engine code. Now the motors are over to a friend that is building them and I want to make sure that we can do it before he gets to far into both of them. Oh and thank you all for the help already.
          thanks again

            I believe the 850 'upgrade' for a 750 only works with the '79 850 blocks. One way to verify that you have a '79 850 is to measure the intake ports. I don't know the actual numbers, but the '79s had smaller ports. They were fed by 26 mm carbs, the '80 and up 850s had 32 mm carbs. The intake ports might be close to those measurements.

              Also, only the 79 had contact breaker points and a kick starter

                awesome I do have a 79 850 with breakers and kick start plus a 77 750 that I want to use the gear box out of. Do you think this will work? When i got the 750 it was a basket case so I dont know if I can tell you much about it other than motor particulars. I do know that it had a mag rear wheel. Does that help?

                    Hi Don,

                    Sorry, I wasn't very clear, was I? I was referring more to the owners manuals that are available on my website. The owners manual will tell us where on the bike all of the important numbers are located. That reminds me, I should probably write these numbers down somewhere.

                    Thank you for your indulgence,
