oay you force me tp look dan there would be no problem hooking up to the 1200 heads with the 1100 carbs and intake runners ...the only problem is th difference in size of intake runners and head port size whitch is a lot ....im guessing but the 1200 intake ports seem to be about 27-28 as compared to 32 on the 1100 intake runners .....the 1200 intake runners actualy taper from 30 to 27-28 im still guessing on the 27-28 figure....on the honda valkery 1500s with there 6 carbs feeding 250cc cylinders there carbs are 28 venturi size ...they run hard for anybody who hasnt rode one ....they get it right off the get go and keep it till the top ...idont think there mild cam bikes ....early oldwings stumble some in low rpm even with perfect carbs ...i think there lack of excellerator pump and to big venturi size carbs both contribute to this .....


i think the 1100 carbs would work well with 1200 heads ...but one might have to do somthing with the transition at the head maybe maybe not ....if it were me i wouldnt do anything at first and just see how it dose ....its not wise to fix problems you might not have ....you would have to block off the exhast ports to the carb rack ....im not sure what would be the best way to do that off the cuff but im sure it could be done rather easy maybe ...so thats the best info i can offer on just a looksie at things hope this helps dan.... :mrgreen:
