My GS750 is a little weary and the fifth gear is on its way out. The whole bike needs a bit of a makeover and I want to do the GS1000 engine swap and a couple other upgrades. I have a potential donor motor from a forum member. The plan is to gather all the parts through the summer/fall and then have it be a winter project.
My main question is around the necessary engine mount modifications. I'm hoping somebody somebody can confirm the following:
1. Front engine mounts can be used as is.
2. Left bottom mount needs to be removed and a new one welded on.
3. Right bottom mount plate fabricated.
4. Top rear mounting plates need to be fabricated.
5. Bottom Rear mounting plates can be used as is.
Specifically, I want to know whether #5 is true. If so, the others should be pretty easy since I can bolt #1 and #5 in and then take measurements for everything else. Assuming I end up going through with it, I'll use this as my "build thread" and hope to share my specs for the mounting plates after it's all said and done.
