Has anyone put a later model (1997~ish) Kat 750 motor in an older GS?

Title says it. I want to put it in my 1981 GS750. All the fab work is cake...I have no issues sorting it out, but knowing the "easy" way versus my "build jigs and weld new mounts" way can save a lot of time.


Thanks

you mean like this ......when you say 81gs ..im assuming the 81gsx 750 is what you mean (for us international folk)

the 83 gsx1100 in the pic shares the same frame dimensions as the 81 gsx750 apart from tank and body work mounts

found some drawings on oldskoolsuzuki.info for you which covers this bearing in mind they are for the 1100 frame but as i mentionesd above they are dimensionally the same
