    Oil pump

    Hello out there!!!!!!!!!!!!! I build my 83 gs1100e motor to a j&e 1170 and added the oil rails for exact top end oiling. Do i need to put a hi pressure oil pump in as well or can i use oil pumps from other modle gs. I think i heard that the oil pump from a 83 -85 gs750 was better than my gs1100e. Need some advise.
    Thanks

    use the high performance oil pump gears. The oil pump stays the same. The GS750 gears are the same.

        83-85 will not work.
        in the states we use 77-79 and 80-82 pump gears only.
