[QUOTE="joedrum, post: 74069, member: 98"] I'm trying to keep things at a level of it working pretty much like normal ...so your saying that the higher lift cam and longer duration cam is going to drop the compression level some .....i will have to check the specs again but i think that's what I'm dealing with in the hotter cams.... this would be a good thing to maybe counter act the possible smaller combustion area that will raise the compression ratio....I'm going to look at this after posting.... this is not a total tear down. ive got an 86 1200 motor that seems to be in real good shape and I'm basically just doing a carb and head change to 1000 switch .....why ?? because i think i can and i think it will make a nice pump out and stroke 1000 monster. I'm not really trying to make a drag bike but a big hearted street bike is very appealing.... its going to come out geared like your 1100 with more punch to the wheel .... this was too tempting for me to let sit on the shelf so i just jumped right in took off on it..... i wont know what 1200 pistons are like till i take the 1200 heads off and im not going to do that till i think ive got a handle on everything..... there's always the option of using the 1200 motor stock ..... the deal there is you almost have to turn the entire bike into a 1200 as far as wiring goes and ignition box that's not even being made any more by honda ....... but i would like to hear more of your thoughts on this or going with 1000 set up.
