    gs850/1100

    Is a 82 GS 850 and a 82 Gs 1100 Physically the same and can you switch out without a lot(if any) retooling?

      Yes and no, depending on just what you want to switch.

      Please provide a few more details.

          The handlebar switches should be a straight swap

          Are those the switch you were referring to?

              Sorry guys. You can't read minds can you? I was wondering if the engines could be switched?
