    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.

this winter if i cant sell my bike i want to put a bigger motor if i can find one. i heard the 78 1000 will fit with only relocating the back 2 motor mounts. is there any 4 valve motors that will fit without hard to do mods
 
If you can find one Yes the GS 1000 would be the easiest swap to make. The 4 valve 1100s are taller but might fit ??? Just remember anything can be made to fit it just depends on how much work you want to do. Why don't you look around an find a GS1000 and rebuild it over the winter. Store the 750 until riding season starts again for you and then sell it.
 
The 1100 will definitely fit too. On both the 1000 and 1100 you will need to modify the front mounts too.

If you plan to use the extra performance I would suggest a brake upgrade too.
