Has anyone successfully installed 1800 on GL1500?

Not an easy swap by any stretch of the imagination. There is one in progress in the 1500 Tech board.

I haven't done it but if your thinking to a Valk your first obstacle will be the Valks gravity feed fuel supply to the 1800s fuel pump supplying Injectors. Some one put the single sided 1800 swing arm on a Valk mated to the 1500 motor on a Valk. I would not want to deal with all the relays and sensors on an 1800.

Just buy a partially wrecked 1800 Wing or F6B and strip it down, lower it, etc., make your own 1800 Valk. Been a couple riders have done it, looks pretty neat actually.
