Pumpkin Swap?
I just got back from working on my 85GS for 3 hours trying to swap in a GSL-(SE?) pumpkin I got for my birthday last year... I canot get it to fit! What are the differences between the pumpkins? Do I seriously have to go find a GSL and pull everything else off it?

The GSL-SE and the GSL are a direct swap, all others are not. This is for 84- 85 models. The GSL is actually stronger and you will never notice the difference. As for the GS, from the info I have read from a quadzillion sites, they will not swap.

Oh chit, I read wrong you are trying to do the SE - GS swap. Nope won't fit, and neither will the GSL. The SE and GSL had bigger axles in 84 - 85. YOu will have to swap the intire rear along with the brakes, lines and all.

He has an 85, it will be a direct swap.
If you have the -se pumpkin, I have been told that there is a bolt that needs to be ground down a little to fit perfect. PM wackyracer and ask him. He showed me when I was buying one from him.
