    Possible build?

    I was wondering how hard or if a swap can be done.I have a 83 gs750..I really like the tank style on my bike.I was wondering if i could use most of my plastics and tank off my 83750 on a 83 gs1100.I know i would need to move the tabs and maybe take a couple of inches off the back frame?.What do you think?. I can swap all my suspension on to the 1100 frame.I went with the gsxr conversion already.I need a project for next winter lol.Has anyone tried this?

    It might be easier to just move the 1100 motor to the 750 frame.
    At least that's what it sounds like to me.

      I tried to put an 1100 motor in a "83" 750 frame a few years back and it can be done but you would have to cut the frame in the cradle area because the 83 oil pan and area is alot narrower than the 1100, and to cut the frame there was not something I felt I wanted to do. The whole 83 750 motor is narrower than the 80-82 16 valve 750-1100 motors

        The problem is i have some small rust holes i tried to fix on the frame..I love the look of my bike.I prefer it over the 1100..Just a thought is all.Fabricating wouldn't be to hard if it could be done.Even if i was only able to use my tank?...
