    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.

Hi there ya'll, it's been a while since I posted here ... but something has come up...
a fellow on the local ottawa motorcycles newsgroup has approached me with an offer to install an engine out of his parts bike, that he claims runs just great ... for $500 installed (Canadian Funds) ...
it sounds like a great deal... as with my SLIPPING SECOND GEAR, it is not that fun doing take-offs, and also, I would LOVE TO GET to a TRACK DAY, but would not even consider it until my tranny issues are resolved, one way or the other :)

Does it sound like that much of a difference between the 83 & 86 GS750 engines? I believe the 83 is more of a street bike style, and the 86 is more of a Sportbike... but I am just concerned that there will be odd issues that I am not currently accounting for ... such as chain/sprocket wear due to allignment issues, ...

would anybody with any suggestions mind sendin me an email?

thx
(I don't get that many chances to check out thegsresources sometimes cuz if it's busy here @ work, then my boss is all over me like a hawk makin sure I'm not "F'in the D")
:)

thankx again GS crew!
:D
 
'83 was the first year for the new design 750 engine. Should fit.
 
Exacty same motor but the last couple of years had more HP. If you use your cams and carbs, better yet the entire head, it should give you the HP of your year model.
 
i didnt know there was a 750 motor in 86 i thought only 700`s or is this just an american thing 8) Mark
 
Just a U.S. thing because of the tariff Harley caused on bikes over 700cc.
 
Swapping parts of the engine's over?

Swapping parts of the engine's over?

Would it really be worth my time and money to switch over the head & carbs from the 86GS750es to the 83 750 motor?
How much power differnce are we talkin between the 83 & the 86 stock?
anybody got any ideas?

mine also has a hindle 4into1 ... I would like to think that would be no problem using on the 83' engine too?

thx guys!
