The Anti-Partout thread: 1985 GS750S

[BV1]

Hi all, as per this part out thread:

http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum/showthread.php?p=1367201#post1367201

a strong suggestion has been made to me by fellow members here to keep and finish this project. I would need a hand to do so. Also if someone else wants to take over the project completely thats an option too, don't want to see it go to waste. Although the sound of a fresh GSXR1100 engine or something similar does sound motivating.

I need to find out what motors are candidates for a swap, and what extras I will need to swap them in (electronics, CDI compatibility etc).

Thanks all,

Steve

Start with posting your location, we could have it swapped out and running fine in a day or so if you are near Denver.

Wait, I remember, Winnepeg. Who do we have around there to help out?

Wow you guys blow me away, very tight knit group here! I appreciate the thought

Here is a thread following this particular bike since I got it, more info here:

Congrats!!! I had such a bad day thinking about that bike being split up,

I'd be looking for any oil cooled gs750e engine, oil cooled gsxr 750 and 1100 engines, bandit 1200, and oil cooled katana 1100's.

Another great site for the "7-11" conversions is www.oldskoolsuzuki.info

Its filled with heavily modified bikes that very commonly have swapped engines.



Man a popup katana with a gsxr1100 engine sounds amazing


Also look up SVSooke in his offer of an oil cooled 750 engine free plus shipping from Victoria. I've been to his house, good honest guy to deal with!

That is sweet looking Kat there, I hope you find an engine for it.
This thread kind of reminds me of this post on Used Victoria:

If it wasnt for the brutal paint I would have scooped it up by now

Scoup it anyways, Great future project and see if you can get for less then $200 especially if there are papers.
