[QUOTE="joedrum, post: 142588, member: 98"] yes lets make this clear ... as sgq700 has asked .....this is probably one of the easiest plug and play mods one can do with the 1100 series of oldwings ......only thing that might mismatch is lower rear shock eyelet hook up ..sitting here this morning i cant remember if there is ...but to me this is minor.... results are ..you get overall taller gearing ....for ones with with 80-81 this might be really great mod ..to lower rpm on these lowest geared oldwings made....82 1100 get even taller in 5th gear....the 83 1100 come out geared just like 84 1200 are .... me personally i have a 82 1100 bike with 84 1200 motor put in it and the 1200 swing arm set and wheel im working on is going in this bike .....only draw back to this is 1200 wheel somewhat lack of stout engineering ...but many are just fine ...and a taller first gear than any stock oldwing ...this is not all that bad to me...and was able to deal with that easy ...it dose bring more importance to getting oldwing to run smooth down low ...to me this a great mod for one to consider wanting better road gear bike :thanks: [/QUOTE]
