    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

    About Motor Swap

    The rear lower mounts line up, the rear uppers & mid lowers need new plates & from memory (it was nearly 40 years ago) the fronts need a bit of fiddling. You may also need to take the cam cover off to get the motor in/out but again, my 1000 then 1100 motors went into my '78 750 a long time ago.

    Hello from Hampshire UK

    Thanks for the kind words, I'm glad it's not just me that thinks it looks sweet :-) The exhaust is a Harris, I'm not sure how much presence they had in the USA but they were made by the legends who also made chassis kits for GP teams. Sadly they're no longer made, they were the pipe of choice...

    Hello from Hampshire UK

    The frame is a 1978 GS750, the engine is a 1980 Katana 1100, the front end & swingarm are also 1980 Katana. The fuel tank is a 1978 GS1000, the fairing is a GSX750ES. Clocks are GS1000 but with a GPS speedo. It's a long way from being a show piece but it's done a lot of miles inc around 10 trips...

    Hello from Hampshire UK

    Not a bad idea, it's 1170 with RS34 Mikunis so still goes ok :-) The shocks are a UK firm called Nitron, they made them to spec as the 1100 swingarm is longer than a 750 causing it to sit slightly low at the back.

    Hello from Hampshire UK

    Hi all, this is my old girl I've had since about 1985. Back then a friend had a trick GS1000 which he wrote off hitting a van, I was helping him rebuild it but we couldn't find a 1000 frame so tried getting the engine into a GS750 instead, it almost fitted but then he got bored & bought a Katana...
