    GS850 to GS1000 by replacing cylinder block?

    I would like to know if anyone has any information as to how I could modify my 850 and turn it into a hybrid 1000. I am looking to change the cylinder block, crankshaft and pistons if that is possible. Can I still run the 850 heads? What size are my 850's carbs, and what are the 1000's? If anybody has either done this before, or has information, or a link to another thread that I could reference, please let me know.

    As to the other post NO The big difference between the 850 & the 1000 is the stroke. GS850 69mm bore X 56.4mm stroke GS1000 70mm bore 64.8mm stroke. A GS850 top end works great on a 2V 750 The secondary gears are also different 16/17 for 850 17/16 for 1000 GS850 uses 32mmCV carbs GS1000 uses 34mm carbs
