[QUOTE="joedrum, post: 74121, member: 98"] I'm surprised at how close the 1200 is to the 1000-1100 motors I was always led to believe that the 1200 was completely different there really not..... I think the best way i could describe this project would be to say its a Valkyrie type setup of a 1200 motor...bigger carbs ..hotter cams and higher compression in a 1000 package .....I'm really quite pleased how easy things are going except for the frame work I'm still scraping and fooling around with it .....but parts were more important than getting the frame done with some money blasting. seems I've got an early 1000 carb rack to go in the mongrel from a 77 model ....now I'm down to 1200 starter ,1200 hydraulic clutch lever master and slave and one timing belt cover to get .....getting closer all the time..... I've also come up with another 1200 85 model locally for a good price and might have part of the clutch slave cylinder that I need not sure yet ...so lots of things to think about on what to do next .....the mongrel is my best buddy and I've got to get it back together soon.... I made a deal on some 77 carbs but haven't herd anything for awhile so I don't know whats going on .... so in the down time I've been working on the wing shack I have been putting together to hold all this stuff I have .....if you call this progress .....this is my progress report.... :mrgreen: [/QUOTE]
