    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.

Would a 82GS1100E engine fit on a 84GS750E

They are basically the same bike, but does anyone knows if there is enough space for the 1100 engine to fit into the 750 frame ?

From what I've read no, at least not a plug and play, no major modification swap.
You Canadians were lucky enough to get that bike in '84...we got nothing that year!

Both of the bikes run? You can mod up the 750 and have a pretty quick bike. without all the weight.
 
As I understand it, from previous posts. It will fit, tight. big problem is that the tank will have to be raised 1" ??? in the rear. Don't take this a gospel I could be wrong
 
Thing is I just bought the 1100 for 200$ but the guy doesn't have the title anymore... the 1100 engine was re-builded 4 years ago, cylinders, pistons and valves and as not run much after. Raising the tank is fairly easy.

I'd persue getting the title for the 1100. No idea how it works in Canada but if the person you bought it from was in fact the last legal owner, getting a title should not be insurmountable. A factory 1100 is alwas going to be worth more than a 7-11 IMO

I am puting a 750E on a 1100E frame all looks to be the same

I don't know how Quebec differs, but in Alberta all you need to get registration is a bill of sale and proof of insurance. No titles involved. If the bike is out of the registration system from being off the road for too long I believe it also requires a safety inspection to ensure all lights, brakes, tires, etc. are in working order. Not a big deal at all.
