    Engine Compatability

    Anyone know if a 1980 GS1000 engine will fit into a 1979 GS1000 frame? I would assume so, but cannot find any information as to yes or no.

    TIA

      Just remember, an opinion without 3.14 is just an onion!

          Yep - bolt straight in. Just make sure that the 80 motor isn't for a shaft drive (G) model). The 80 head is different for the later CV carbs so you'd have to swap them / airbox etc as well (or swap heads - they are the same otherwise).

              Checking on the shaft drive now.
