hey guys, will a bandit 1200 motor fit in a gs750? been thinking about it for a while now and a bike just came up on ebay so i put in a bid. hopefully it wont get ridiculus anyway i have the engine the swingarm and shock wheels and front end just need a bike so if ya want it more than me let me know so we dont end up bidding against eachother...cheers....:D

Yes. I fitted a Slabby motor into a GS1000 frame a while ago using engine mount templates available on Old Skool Suzuki. The GS750 frame is capable of fitting a slabby motor(I tested it) so the Bindit motor should fit.

thanks Chopper, would it be ok as is or would it need bracing?

Brace it. If you want to be using a 180 rear modifications will be needed anyway. Bracing is a good idea anyway if done correctly. Also, if you are going to mono shock it a redesign to blend & strengthen isn't that complicated. I can thing of about 7 places on a GS750 frame I'd want to brace for a Bindit motor. With the GS1000/Slabby work I braced the under tank rails, the headstock, the rear mainframe under the rear mount , between the rear engine mounts & the front rails. I also braced the area around the swingarm mounts & the shock mounts. That was just me though.
