Will a 79 1100 Engine fit in my 79 850 Shaft drive frame?

Yes .

Hi,

Will he need all the drive line parts too? Drive shaft, U-joint, etc?

There were no 1100 shafties in 79.

There were no 1100 shafties in 79.

There were no Suzuki 1100's of any kind in '79.

My first reaction in reading the first post on this question.

And yet, if he has one it will fit.

Hi,

Oh, OK. Now I'm really confused. I should pay more attention to the question.

And I think Mr. ford_raccoon had better get his facts straight.


Thank you for your indulgence,

I'll bet he has a 79 gs1000 that's been bored to an 1100, or maybe a Yamaha XS 1100. Neither would work in the GS850. Just my opinion

[BassCliff]

Hi,

I've been told the GS1000G motors will fit the GS850 frames, but you have to keep the driveline with the motor. I'm pretty sure the two bikes use the same frame.

Im sorry I was not sure what the biggest engine was that was made as a shafty in 79. My question is will the biggest 79 shafty fit in my 79 850 frame??
