my 1988 750 intruder bit the dust. The shops are telling me to get a used motor. Anyone know where to get good info on what motor would work? Will the 800 fit in the 750 frame?

The 800 motor will physically fit, as it is simply a bored out 750 and thus the hieght is the same. However, you will need the computer control box from the year bike you get the motor from, which will set you back another $100-400 depending on if you want a new one or are willing to chance a junkyard one. Rremember that the trans and motor are one unit, so you are really taking a chance if you buy a used motor: the thing may run fine but shift badly, or the clutch may be bad.
Where are you located? A guy on another website offered be a good 750 motor a couple months ago, and he may still have it in his garage. The bike ran great and had low miles, but he wrecked the front end.

I live in northeast texas, close to Tyler. It is a bummer to be wrenching when the weather is at its peak for riding. I appreciate the help and hope to locate something of that nature.

OK, i'll track him down and see if he still has it.

I do appreciate any help. Thank you.
