:0fftopic: another thing and i may be out of line here butt..... i have to say it, while that rear wheel is off.. get rid of the plug and put a good patch on that shinko if you are going to run it.. in my opinion the shinko is way too flexable to hold a plug safe. when i ran a rear shinko(3...

i would say just run a open tube down and point it at the ground in front of the rear tire, i used 1 of those K&N mini crank case filters when i put the 83 engine in the beater and 40,000 miles later, i kicked out the shifter seal and the seal where the wires for the shift and netural light come...

real simple and all the orig stuff works! 40,000 miles with this set up and zero grief.. that fact cable wheel and mount set up are easy!

i didn't use a uni link, i welded the cable wheel from a stock carb rack to the stock arm of the dft, and used the orig rack 2 cable mount with a bracket welded to it to hold the 2 cables as i wanted to keep the push pull design, i did away with the heavy return spring 'cause i wanted my...

I am looking forward to this one Joe! the way i ride, a car tire will be perfect! let us know about how much you need to grind off the wheel. Ans, Thank's again for all your info and help :salute:

if you want to be sure, go get some silly putty(like the kids play with) and roll it out to about .050" thick, cut it round to fit the top of your piston, then put the head back on(with old gasket) set the timing belt and adj the valves, rotate the engine by hand for 2 rev's(unless you feel like...

i used the entire 1200 swing arm. wheel. drive unit and brake assy. all was bolt up and go, it does make the bike almost 3 inches longer and will lower the rear about 2 inches due to shock mount location but every thing works great! Your 1100 wheel will not work with the 1200 drive

if you do alot of hi-way riding.. go with the 1200 drive, th whole swing arm is a bolt in deal and it gave me 10 more mph at the same rpm the 1100 gera is around 3:08 or so and the 1200 is 2:80! plus the 150/90/15 tire really fills up the 1100 rear fender and looks great!

it didn't work for me at all with Tom's carb Joe.. and i had a boat tank sitting on the handlebars

*If you are running it on gravity alone I would suspect that running out is just what is happening*..... this is a Fact!! you must have fuel pressure to run a dft! unless you mount your bottle 10 feet higher than the carb.. it will never keep the bowl close to full! the needle and seat are just...

1200 wheel and drive unit really fills up the 1100 fender

1200 front and rear wheel and drive unit, long and low

The main jet is the only screw in jet in a holley 1bbl carb, very simple carb to work on and tune , if you get one, just google the carb and you will see all the pics that show you where the jut is and where the power valve is and if you wish to disable the power valve, you simply block off the...

just to throw another option in here, another conversion that i did that worked very well(and still does) is with a 1 bbl holley carb from a 62 ford falcon with a 140 c/i engine. the only thing i did was block off the power valve and changed the main jet from a #48 to a #55 with standard holley...

Brian, the camshaft design will not work very well when you try to run solid lifters with a hyd cam, ask any of us old guy's that tried that in the 60's ! it will run... but not very well! just wanted to give ya a heads up to save the problems.. as it is said"if you don't mind=it don't matter"...

i had NO luck with plugs of any kind on a shinko,as they flex too much, i did have great luck with removing the tire and using a high quality patch! 3 times on the rear tire and once on the front and they all lasted untill they were worn out.

You said it all Brother! loud and clear, and again Joe :thanks:

on my 1100, i used all the 84 1200 stuff that Joe said would work, complete swing arm,wheel,brakes,shaft everything and just as Joe said.. bolt in and go!! you do gain a couple of inches of wheel base and you need to cut the groove or rain gutter out of the top/left inner rear fender or the much...

today the beater rolled over 40k with the 83 engine,home built no heat intake and a out of the box stove bolt carb with the second bbl un-hooked!! Man do i love this old piece of you know what! And a HUGE shout out to say Thank You for all the help from the forum(You know who you are :wave: )...

i run a 84 rear swing arm and wheel on my 80 1100 and after several rear tires, i took advise from a friend and went with a metzler 880 re enforced and all i can say it WOW! i will never run another rear tire on a old wing except this one! just my humble opinion! I put 40,000 miles a year on my...
