GS into a GSXR frame

[Guest]

Picked up a basket this afternoon, 93 gsxr 750. The original intent was to swap the front end, wheels, brakes etc, but the more I look at it, the more I was thinking how cool would it be to install my 84 gs1150ef engine and all its goodies into the gixxer frame. Kinda like a big block in a chevette.
Anyone done this already?
Ideas?

Search for "7-11s". That said, the '93 motor (and thus frame) is going to be significantly more compact, and the motor mounts totally different than the '84 GS. Major rework. Probably not worth the headache, unless you like headaches like that.

Requires a frame chop.

Your original intent was the correct one. The watercooled bikes were the last of the full loop frames and had problems which weren't solved until the next generation frames arrived.
I was involved in building one for the NZ round of WSB at the time. It finished in the top 10 here but it took a heroic effort.

Good info, food for thought.

Got it up on the hoist, went through the boxes of parts to make sure everything was there, organized, cleaned/rebuilt so its ready to go back together. Picked up some new wheel and swingarm bearings and seals today, time to get started.
I think I'm just going to reassemble the 750 and see how she goes. Never know, might have a 4th one kicking around in the garage lol.
