I was toldby a mechanic that a suzuki gs1000 8 valve head will fit onto suzuki gs850 barrels. Does anyone know if this true or an urban myth? Thanx. 8)

Arrr, now why didn't i think of that???????????? Fanx.

What i have is, a 1979 GS75O (8 valve) hybrid with lester mag wheels and a '79 GS1000 (8 valve) chop with standard wheels, what i'm looking to find out is; will the wheels c/w discs swap over as a direct fit? Trial and error would a painful way to find out as neither beastie has a centre stand...

Thanks, that clears things up somewhat. The bike conked out a while back and after much faffing about i gave it to a small time garage to sort out. Coils were blamed and duly replaced, they test rode it and it conked out on them. A week later the bike is returned with vague references being...

As for the frame on the black & yellow bas*ard (so called coz it goes goes like one!), it's a one off handmade frame inspired by Harris but retained the...

Thanks for replying but the 16v tank tunnels are wider than the 8v ones, someone on Old Skool tried that line of attack but thanks for the thought. :)

Looking for a tank to fit 1977 GS75O 8 valve model that isn't rusty as a handcart inside or too bad on the outisde. All the ones on e-bay show heavy rust inside and i've already got one like that. The tank dosen't have to be off a 750 but from what i've found out not much else'll fit and if by...

Amazingly for me coz my computer hates me at the best of times, i've managed to get photos the suzooks posted in 'show 'n shine'.
