Message: <blockquote data-quote="goldwing81" data-source="post: 5808" data-attributes="member: 373">thanks for all of the info.  Here is what I did.  I purchased the 1200 case because I wasnt seeing much on ebay in the way of 1100's.  After I posted at classic goldwings an 1100 case showed up on ebay, I bought it.  I now have a 1200 case if anyone would like to buy it.  I was lucky in one respect that the left side of the engine was ruined.  I used the left side of the case from ebay with the right side of the destroyed engine.  About the time I bought the 1100 case I determined that the pistons are matched sets.  I bought those from a fellow in Florida for $40.00 and a left head for $70.00.  I honed both sides and put it together.  Carburetors have been another story.  The first 30 miles it consumed about 4 gallons of gas and produced alot of smoke.  The floats were set at .61. I ended up setting them at .750.  This cured the gas consumption.  I know from my experience with GM quadrajet carbs used the same type of porus material that these floats are made from, the .750 fix will not be the permanent cure, I will need to find new floats as these will become saturated with gas again.It has been a challenge, and I would do it again.  The bike runs good for now, no noise. good acceleration and my wife likes it too.Thanks for all of the input.I will post a picture when I figure out how</blockquote>
