[QUOTE="ekvh, post: 149965, member: 1179"] I believe Joe did 1100 heads with 1000 ignition on his AngryDresser build. I think he had to hand-fit ( grind a little) either the head or the ignition housing to make it work. He then used 1000 cams in the 1100 heads to run it. The 1100 heads won't have the stub for the points or electronic version. In the long haul it might be a good way to go as you'd be ready for C5 when you win the Lotto. There might be more room in the 1100 frame. I have one sitting waiting for me to put a 1200 engine in. Probably this winter as I have too many house obligations to fill and I'd like to build a garage if my hip would get better. I run my current Schizoid bike with open belt covers, but last summer I bolted 1000 covers on with no rubber seal and just the outside bolts in. They never moved or loosened up on me. It leaves a small gap in the center by the crank pulley. To most people it looks like a 1000 with the heads and carbs. The only obvious give away is the dipstick. It's the best dipstick mod I know of...lol. I just remembered the belt cover backers, the ones the bolt to the front of the head, don't line up right. I hack-drilled some holes that do line up in the heads. The 1200 back plates are different as I recall. I really can't remember which back plates I used. It's not totally bolt-and-go but close. Just snapped some pics. Top is 1000 , bottom is 1200. You can see the left side is much wider, thicker than the 1000. Other ways to skin the cat, I'm sure.
