1981 gs750t frame question

[cvrkickercomp]

Hi everyone, I am quite new to this forum. I have a 1981 gs750t that i bought without a title. My question is would my motor, swingarm, forks, ect from the 750 all fit onto a 1981 gs650l frame. I ask because if it does i have found one very close to where i live that has a title for only $100 and was going to buy it so i can actually enjoy my gs.

Thanks,
Tyler

Won't fit. 650L is shaft drive.

ITS Title may be able to help you out.

What other frames would fit?

You need to first determine what bike you have. There's no such thing as a 1981 GS750T. The "T" was available in 1982-1983 only... if its a 1981 it has to be and "E" or an "L". There were slight modifications to the engine in 1982. Perhaps someone else can speak to the mounting points and potential for swapping.

The 2nd generation 750 engine has very similar motor mounts to those on the chain drive 1100; most mounts line up except for the ones under the engine. I've also seen people stuff a chain drive 1100 engine into a chain drive 1000 chassis, so I suspect your 750 engine would likewise bolt into that chassis as well (other than, again, the motor mounts directly under the engine).

Sounds like a lot of work considering the 2nd generation 750 was arguably the worst of all GS engines when it comes to durability. Unless your engine is known to be pristine, it might not be worth all the hassle. And again, a simple solution is to get the title though ITS Title company.

must be a 82 .... has been a bit since ive looked at it... But as far as being 'pristine' I'm not sure.... I have 150psi compression across the board, other than that i don't know much about the bike. It has 28000 miles, seems to run strong. I drove it the day i bought it and got a ticket for fictitious tags and driving without a license and that was over a year ago haven't had it out since. I do start it occasionally just so the carbs don't get varnished. As far as its i can't seem to find a price. If it were 150-200 i'd be willing to go that route, anything more isn't really worth it to me.

$75 should cover it if using a shipping company like usf holland or US freight, I think it has to be put on a pallet though.
