[QUOTE="joedrum, post: 8183, member: 98"] dont limit yourself to just 1100 motors....if you like touring type gearing the 1000 motor is a great upgrade to your bike and the motor bolts right up and if the 1000 motor has no carbs your 1100 carbs will work on it and realy has some advantages over 1000 carbs not in power but in smoothness ....my 79 1000 has this this upgrade in reverse ive got 1100 swingarm and finaldrive modified to fit my 1000 this was a lot of work .....but your 1100 will take the 1000 motor and bolt right up and the only mod you have to do is ignition and its not hard at all and is better than 1100 ignition as in more flexable timing adjustment and more parts availibility and after market electronic ignition and coils and wires will not let you down in the rain like what happen to you.....my bike turns about 3400 rpm at 70 mph ....and i just love the gearing....i know your a big guy and frist gear is a little tall but idont think this would be a problem..... just something i thought you sould know in your situation......joedrum ......oh ithink the 78-79 1000 motor is the best for this mod but all 1000 work and i might be over thinking here....
