    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.

Can the top end of a 1979 GS1000E be put on a 1979 GS850 lower-end? I guess what I am asking is: are the bottom ends of 1979 GS1000 & GS850 the same? Is the bottom end of GS850 & 750 the same?

I have just bought some spare bike frames and engines for the 1000 and 850. I'd like to have the performance of the 1000 with the shaft drive of the 850.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts!
 
the 850 is based on the 750, the 1000 is a differant engine and top ends do not interchange.

it is possible to mount a GS1000G engine in a 850 frame and make a shafty version of the old school 7/11 (a 8/10!)
