7/11 top end removal in situ

[Mike711]

Does anyone with a GS750/1100ET 7/11 know if the head & barrels can be removed with the engine in situ? I suspect the mounts may have to be removed to lower it but having never tried I'm not sure.

My old girl cold seized when I foolishly left it for a few years without oiling the bores first. I freed it off but it has been a bit oil thirsty ever since so it may be time for an 1170 & a head freshen up.

the 7 and 11 frames are the same size ...... therefore ...yes...you can remove the top end in situ .

Thanks :-)

I have a GS 7/11 with a 1085cc GS1000 engine. I believe the 1000 and 1100 engines are the same size.

The frames aren't the same size, but I can get my cylinder head off by loosening the engine mounts and lowering the lump on to the frame rails.

….the lower mid mounts are different ….. can you elaborate on where else these frames differ ?
