Hi Gang,

Forgive me if this has been discussed; I have a 79 GL1000 and the left cylinders are corroded. I've seen 75 and 76 motors on eBay. Anyone know if these year motors can be swapped? How about if I wanted to swap out just the left side case. Any advice would be appreciated.

thanks

Rich

Yeah they will and if you can find a 75 it has a bit more power because they had a bit more agressive cam. The 76 and 77 were close. The 78 and 79's had a bit more bottom end torque. You can swap in an 1100 if you wanted. Its a drop in swap

Thanks guys. Whaddya think about putting a left side case/cylinders only on my 79 engine?
