I would be willing to bet most riders would really like the extra 20% in displacement and just a 16 tooth sprocket to start. The extra CC's and slightly lower RPM might be very satisfying. The GZ would then have a bit more grunt on long slight uphill grades and into headwinds. My late wife Lynda had that as her only complaint on long trips. New clutch plates would be an obvious option if there was slippage of course.

I may be wrong but I think you are the only rider to actually upgrade a GZ to this level. Your project is fantastic.
