    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.

Will a 1200 Bandit engine fit in a gs1100 or gs1000 frame?

I have a friend who is wondering whether a Bandit 1200, C model, oil cooled, rocker arm style engine is a direct bolt up into the 82 gs1100 or a gs1000 frame?

If not what frame bolts dont line up?
 
Will fit but not a direct bolt in as it is narrower (l to r) and shorter (front to back ) can and has been done.see mine in my signature pic
 
thank you. sorry i havent been getting my notices from this forum for some reason, glad i checked back to my thread. so it sounds like you had to re-locate the motor mounts. Too bad there is not a build thread on this to show him.
 
Ray has done these swaps and knows about everything possible about both motors and frames. Shoot him a PM.
