    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.

Has anyone swapped out a Bandit motor into an old GS?
I have a chance to buy a 2005 1200 Bandit motor complete with wiring harness.
I was wondering how hard it would be to mount in my 1980 gs 1100 or 1978 gs 1000?
 
Dont bother to much work for NOTHING...Bandit is a plain bearing engine GS is a Roller bearing...Much better
 
"Billions of plain bearing engine out there,can't be all bad."

i agree 100 percent. all busas and gsxr's are plain bearing motors. rev alot more than the gs's and stand up. a plain bearing motor from the factory if takin care of will run for damn near ever. and when someone puts bearings in them and they dont last. there eather done wrong or not broke in proper. thats my opinion anyway.

I can tell you've never had/raced an 80-82 GS750! Also, Pro Stock GSs turn 14,000 rpm. Try that with a Busa or GSXR/Bandit oil cooled motor & see what happens.

There is a guy on Ebay that sells the conversion mounts to put the oil cooled motor in a GS chassis. I am a GS1100/1150 guy but the Bandit conversion is a good one. LOTS of hot rod parts available for that engine series too! 160-180 hp at the back wheel is not difficult with that engine. Just KNOW that if you do that conversion, your stock suspension & brakes will NOT be adequate!!! Ray.
