Kz1000 in Gs1100

Can anyone tell me if a Kz 1000 motor will bolt in a Gs1100 frame? I know anything can be done with a cutting torch and welder but i was looking at pics of a from and the motor mounts look real close. I can get a drag frame (Gs) ready to go and thought if my Kz motor would bolt in i would go that route and save some time and money because i can get the frame cheap.
Thanks Guys!!!!!

the gs1100 motors have lots of potential once you address a few issues,even a stock gs1100 motor will be fast.

Your prob right Plum but want to keep my Kz powerplant as i have two Kz motors. Just was wondering if the GS and KZ had the same mounts? From what i saw in pics they look real close? Thanks BRO!!!!!!

no problem i had an 82 gs1100 years ago,my first experiance with a 16v motor they pull like freaking freight train!:laugh:

Never done it myself but have dragraced for a long long time. Some chassis builders offer virtually the same chassis with differing motor mounts for use of KZ/J/GPZ or GS engines. If you know the manufacturer/chassis builder you may be able to get tech info.from them or contact
D & G in Florida , Timblin in NC or Gary Clark in Iowa for help.

Thanks Guys! I keep hearing alot about D&G Chassis.

85 gs1150e with what i was told was a 3500 big bore rebuild....like a freight train with no cars attatched...loved that bike...sold it to my brother..
big mistake.....

i built a 1166 gs 1150 that made 148 horse and 110 foot pounds of torque with 33 cr's on it for carbs all its power was made below 8500 it was an amazing engine it needed at least a set of 40's to really bring it to life but even still it had to be one of the strongest carburated street motors ive ever built. the only ones that had torque numbers like that were 120inch+ harleys that ive built for guys. it was an awesome ride and it weighed about 525pounds.

i dont know torque number wise on mine, but 5th gear up a good hill at 50 was just a twist...torquey..give it the spurs and you had to really hang on after 4500..all bets were off from 4500-8500....i was told mine did 120 hp at rear wheel on dyno with smoothbores that werent 100%....1198 cc s...i dont know (remember) what carbs were on it when i had it..wasnt the smoothies..but they were spot on...choke it...breathe on starter....no choke after 25 secs and never a fart or a hiccup...man i miss that bike....if i buy another old bike, it s gonna be an 1150 gs........
