[QUOTE="Write2Paul90277, post: 141979, member: 3682"] Hi Guys, It's me, Paul -- the guy from Redondo Beach with the trashed engine in an otherwise perfect GL1200 Aspencade. I'm looking high and low for replacement '84 1200 motor, but the ones I've found are either super high mileage, have low compression, or SEI or LTD fuel injected engines, which I can't use. Yes, I AM scouring eBay and Craigslist, as well as emailing every Honda shop in Southern California. Please, if ANYONE has a lead on a viable 1200 engine, please let me know! In the meantime, a (possibly stupid) idea hit me: There are lots of the smaller GL1100 engines out there -- could I possibly use one in my big 84 Aspencade? The displacement isn't THAT much different. And the engine itself should bold right in. Here are some considerations: -- The clutch on the older bikes is cable-acuated, but can be converted to hydraulic. -- The cylinder heads are different (adjustable valves versus adjustment-free). Could I put my GL1200 heads on an 1100 motor? -- The carb mounting points are the same -- would I be able to run my 1200 carbs on the 1100 without a lot of fiddling? -- Could I put my newer 1200 alternator into the older 1100 engine? Anything else I should take into account? Am I crazy? ? Or just giving up on the search for a 1200 motor too soon? Thanks, Paul [/QUOTE]
