    16V conversion for a shaftie?

    Howdy, howdy, howdy.

    Just in the theoretical stages at this moment:

    Are there any 16V jug/head swaps that I can do to my 82 GS650G?

    I am willing to go newer (Like the newer Katanas) if that's what it takes. I want shaft drive and 16 valves on a 650 as an end result. (Or at least this stage's end result. I may never quit modifying)

    You want 16 valves and shaft drive? Get a Kawasaki Concours or more modern bike. You can't put a 16-valve head on a stock 8-valver. Give it up.

      Bah! never say never!

      Wait, I just said never. Twice! 8O

      I like to look in to any and all possibilities, and then try things out on the cheap. Just wondering if there were any direct/easy swaps to be had.

        I then would like to hear your report on how you did the conversion. Somehow i have the feeling that you will NEVER do it though. 8O

            Quite deliberate as you may have noticed
