I believe that the GS and the KZ had a different angle to the cylinders. This changes the geometry to the bend between the header pipes and the collector. I know that the 16 valve GS1100 head had a different spacing than the GS1000 but I do not know if any of them had the same spacing as the KZ1000.

Same spacing, but the Kz engine is straight up and the Gs engine has a forward tilt to it. I am the :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :side:

KZ should always come before gs.

The GS 1000 was reverse engineered from a Z1. You can drop a set of GS 1000 (not 1100 or 1150) barrels right onto a Kaw motor, now it would never actually run but they do share the stud pattern,pipe/carb spacing. Frame dimensions/shape and engine angles are another story...
