    Is that so?

    I had a 750 and had that idea too, I bought a complete 1000 because it was cheaper than an engine, but after some light measuring, I thought it just didn't fit, that's why made my 750 redundant and butchered my 1000.

    Only reason I say they go straight in, is because a mate (over 15 years ago) asked me to give him a hand swapping the 750 engine out and putting in a 1000 engine in all want very easy, can't remember now if we swapped the front or rear engine brackets and the 750 air box didn't fit with the 1000 carbs which he was not upset about as he want k&n on it anyway.

    I've also heard that some 850 top end will fit the 750 and some won't, must be some age/models that you can swap over and some you can't ;)

    Not sure i would bother with a GS1000 as oil burner more readily available and cheaper to tune, plus you might find Air cooled but good ones getting like Hens teeth :o 

    Any of the bigger GS air cooled motor (good one ) are getting harder to find even the 850cc it's only the 750/550 you see that much of for sale these days, but the gs1000 are about ;) granted you won't get the power out of a gs1000 as much or cheeply as a oil cooled but it's not always about the power it's how it looks and sounds :D

    I've got both a gs1000 and two ish oil cooled, keep saying I'm going to sell the gs1000 as getting to meany bikes to fit in the garage, but I then go and ride the GS and think I can never sell it air cooled are awesome (y)

    To get back on subject, G bikes are not the best candidates for a fork swap. 

    Are you going to run the stock front wheel? Lots of adapting for that to happen

    Are you going to run the 17" modern wheel?  You geometry will be messed up. You'd have to find a 17" rear (which I'm not sure exists) and then your bike would be too low

    Your best bet is to add cartridge emulators, straight rate springs and a fork brace to your existing front end. Or, upgrade to the 41mm GK fork and add the above

    There is stuff out there to modify your gs1000g :D

    Take mine for one
