      Hi,

      Will he need all the drive line parts too? Drive shaft, U-joint, etc?


      Thank you for your indulgence,

              And yet, if he has one it will fit.

                Hi,

                Oh, OK. Now I'm really confused. I should pay more attention to the question.

                And I think Mr. ford_raccoon had better get his facts straight.

                  I'll bet he has a 79 gs1000 that's been bored to an 1100, or maybe a Yamaha XS 1100. Neither would work in the GS850. Just my opinion

                    Hi,

                    I've been told the GS1000G motors will fit the GS850 frames, but you have to keep the driveline with the motor. I'm pretty sure the two bikes use the same frame.
