    Hi Guys,

    Are the GS1100 an GS1150 heads a direct swap?

    Thanks

    I think you need to change the cylinder studs, I'm not positive though. Private message RAPID RAY, he'll tell you exactly what you need to do. He's a Top Notch Drag Bike Engine Builder. 👍

    22 BMW K1600GT (Probably been to a town near you)
    82 1100e Drag Bike (needs race engine)
    81 1100e Street Bike (with race engine)
    79 1000e (all original)
    82 850g (all original)
    80 KZ 650F (needs restored)

      You'll need 1150 studs and valve cover (and gasket). You'll also lose your mechanical tachometer drive.

        Youre right, I hadn't considered which way he was going with the swap. Most go to the 1150 head for a little boost in performance.
