    GS850 Mods

    Has anyone ever looked into the possibility of putting jugs and head from larger displacement engine on the 850 bottom end?? I am not considering it, just curious. Gene

    They don't fit, something about cylinder spacing or something. Also the heads are different between the 750/850 and the bigger engines. Can't remember exactly but I read about it a while ago.
    But an entire 1100G or 1000G engine will pop right in the 850 frame. Easy to do, it has been done often....

      What about mods to the stock 850L muffler to get a little bit of a deeper louder/sound without sacrificing the stock jets and all also?

        Use a hole saw to drill into the back of the baffle about 2"
