Think I have worked it out, went to a Mate's shop who has a few GS and GK's laying about . Long story short , GS has solid mount for rear lower, while GK has bushes, slightly different brackets and bolts. My frame is a 1100gs, My engine has bushes rear lower which makes it GK. So I think that makes the GK engine wider and won't fit in a GS frame. Thanks everyone for your input

Hi Guys Still no luck fitting engine, but an update. This bike looks like it's been mucked with. Compliance plate has one frame number, underneath on frame is a different one, but both 82 1100G. The engine I have does not match with either frames previous rego, but all engines start with U701. All numbers relate to Tasmanian state rego's. Thinking a previous owner was trying to clone a crashed bike. With what I can find about it's history I wouldn't be surprised to find that the frame has been altered in some way. Going to pull all the mount bushes this weekend and see if the engine will come close. Cheers

Hi Guys Thanks for your input so far. Photo 2433 is the bike, 2434 is engine rear installed without bushes, 2443 and 2439 engine location with bushes and a lot of persuasion, note mounts were splayed when I got bike. 2437 left front with bush installed mount splayed, 2436 right side gap between frame and mount looking from front of bike. Should engine just slot in , or be really tight ? was thinking maybe bushes are swollen, but I don't even think that new bushes would give me the clearance needed as I removed them, cleaned bush and case and gained nothing. Thanks for lookking

Hi Guys Newbie here that needs some help. Picked up a GS1100G basket case recently. Frame is 12/81 and number suggests it's a 82 model. Engine that came with the project has # U701-112696 and after DOT checks, is not the engine that was in the bike on last rego in 07. Can someone please help with engine id, as engine does not want to fit between engine mounts. All seems to line up, even shaft drive, but with mount bushes installed in cases it is about 15mm to wide to fit between rear mounts, and the same on left lower. If I remove the bushes it drops in. Also engine mount brackets seem to be ok, but bolts are wrong length, which makes me think they may have been from the original engine. Just want to get this worked out before I start resto. Cheers Cooky
