isnt it the 850 top end that fits straight on?
roller crank has over 300 bits too it if i remember right and is a fortune to rebuild
why not put whole thou motor in?

Already thought about doing that but...I would have to cut and widen the frame as GS 1000 is slightly wider.......just not got the time to jig it up and play around...trying to have it done by end of the month for a friend,as it is ive got probably 3 or 4 days of paintwork to get done...Voodoo....

Height is not a problem as its a chop and has good top rail clearance...plus to be honest I would rather keep the thou lump complete as ive got a spare frame that I could always chop and drop it in....Voodoo.....
