GSX-R
engine mounts for GSX frames.
Below
are drawings of engine mounts to fit an early air-cooled GSX (round
frame tubes) or EFE (square frame tubes) with a GSX-R engine.
Both place the engine in the middle which is aesthetically best
but may cause some problems with the exhaust headers interfering with
the frame downtubes, which can be solved by using spacers or modifying
the headers if necessary.

mounts for a GSX1100EFE (GS1150) to take a GSX-R engine.

Below are drawings from the engine mounts, as I used
them a few years back. I built at least two EFE’s using these
plates. They mount the engine pretty straightforward, like in the
Katana I send you pics from a few months back. I also included the
cutting contours in .dxf format, that could straight be fed into
a laser.

| PL-105 and 106:
Take front rubber engine mount, and lower below crank. Need
shims or bushes to compensate for offset. |

| PL-107 and 108: These should
be welded in with the engine or cases in place, mounted with
the previous mentioned plates. PL-108 is a bit long, and could
do with a brace, taking sideward loads to the cross tube from
the shock. The stock plate should be removed. The lower cross
tube in the frame will need some cleaning up and removing of
the stock lower rear plates, before taking PL-107. |

| PL-110 and 111: These make
the removable, welded upper rear engine mount taking loads to
the stock bolt holes/bushings welded into the side of the frame. |
