    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.

Stroking a 750 to a 1000cc?

From an article concerning how simple it was to create the GS1000:

"The short stroke 748cc engine was lengthened by 14.6mm to 70mm to give a capacity of 997cc. This hiked the power to 87 hp (90ps) but the GS' bottom half still remained totally bullet proof. Better still, it proved to be capable of prodigious amounts of tuning without losing any reliability. "
(Frank Melling, December 14, 2007 article at motorcycleusa.com)

Can this be done to a '77 or '78 GS750 or are there other serious mods?
 
Really?

Really?

I sure would like to know how one goes about making the motor mounts.

But if I wanted to rebuild my '750 anyway, would it be easy to stroke it?

It is 15 lbs lighter than the 750 engine too.
Easy to make the motor mounts by hand.

So would such a swap be simply limited to having the motor and mounts?:-k
 
I'm getting the glimmering of a stupid idea. If the 1000 is a stroked 750, and an 850 is a bored 750, then is an 1100 a stroked 850? You can see where this is going, and it is a stupid idea. My 850 runs fine. But just for future reference.

Yes, it fits right in, everything hooks up the same.
I have one in my 750. Very easy.
