If I have read correctly the few search results I found then this should fit?
Need to make new motor mounts but it fits?

Yes, just have to make new mounts.

The GS engine is longer than the Bandit, so you have to make a choice with placing the Bandit engine in the GS frame. You can either mount it to the rear of the frame (so the sprocket is closest to the swingarm pivot) which means you will need longer exhaust headers to clear the frame, or you can mount the engine closer to the front cradle - which means the chain will tension more with swingarm movement as it is further away from the pivot.
Just so you know
Current:
Z1300A5 Locomotive (swapped my Intruder for it), GS450 Cafe Project (might never finish it....), XT500 Commuter (I know - it's a Yamaha
)
Past:
VL1500 Intruder (swapped for Z1300), ZX9R Streetfighter (lets face it - too fast....), 1984 GSX750EF, 1984 GSX1100EF (AKA GS1150)
And a bunch of other crap Yamahas....Comment

Better off just buying a Bandit 1200 and enjoying a much better designed machine. That's what I did when I had my GS750. I also upgraded my 750 to an 1100 with the trusty 7/11 swap. Super fast and the 750 frame definitely twisted with that big block in it. You would spend allot more (time and money) to swap to the 1157 (bandit 1200) motor. The 1100 will nearly swap in (need to make 1 mount mod) but the headers and ignition are direct swaps, 1100 Carbs are easy to find where as the B-12's carbs are not so much.

I know the 1000 and 1100 engines are a bolt on upgrade but they aren't available, believe me I've searched. And the bikes that do occasionally show up is too nice(and thus too expensive) to be parted out and usually they're shaft drive anyway so not usable for me.
There is one 1100 engine advertised for sale by a motorcycle shop, they want three times the money I'm getting this entire bandit for....
I'm in the process of bracing the frame and since it's winter, time is something I have alot of since I'm not riding
And I also have a SV1000S for when the spring comes so I'm not in a hurry
