    16 bolt valve cover gs1100e head on oppose to 20 bolt

    are theyre a difference in hp between a 80-81 head in oppose to 82-83 gs1100e head. I ask cause i have a 81 gs1100e with the stock head and have a 82-83 complete head with cams ,and valve cover, on my bench , i was wondering if it will bolt right into my 81 and if its worth the effort to get hp out of it, if so about how much more hp will i see thanks

      good practice but no real gains.
      now an 1150 head...that would be worth while but half the studs need changed.

        Get the head ported that will make a nice difference, bump the intakes to 28mm 1150 valves

          Also, they are 20 & 24 bolt covers, not 16 & 20. Ray.
