    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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...

  • Returning Visitors

    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.

Hey Guys,

I have this 1977 GS750 sitting around. The motor is all original and stock and I assume it is an 8 valve motor (although I haven't had the head off to verify). Recently a friend of mine offered to trade me a running 16 valve gs750 motor for some gt380 parts. Will this motor bolt right into my existing frame? is this a common swap? Or am I better off keeping the motor I have?
 
Keep the 8 valve motor you have where it is. The 16 valve would fit, but you wouldn't notice any performance upgrades and the 8 valve is a better motor to begin with (imho).
 
I have a 16 valve motor. I believe he would notice the difference. The roll on at 80 mph is very nice. For normal riding he probably won't notice. OTOH, The TSCC is supposed to be higher maintenance with plain bearings, a high pressure oil system and a wear problem with the cams. A new set of cams is north of $400. Your 8v has roller bearings and a low pressure oil system which is much more durable. If I had to pick a bike to ride across China I would go with my 82 550L over the 750T.
