Does anybody know what modifications a 550e bike would need to fit a 1000 engine in it? Would the engine fit and bolt up? Would the 550 carbs work with the 1000 with bigger Jets?

i very much doubt the engine would fit in a 550 frame but i know for a fact the 550 carbs wont work on a 1k engine, they wont fit on for a start, spacing is different.plus they would be far too small1978 GS1085.
Just remember, an opinion without 3.14 is just an onion! -
The 550 won't take a 1000 engine without a serious amount of work. And as Age says with the carbs; the 550 is a much smaller engine physically.79 GS1000S

GS1000 engine will fit into a GS750 frame quite easily though. Not sure if that helps you at all. I'm pretty sure you can also use VM26's off of a 750 (with jet adjustment of course) on a GS1000 engine too.Comment
