[QUOTE="joedrum, post: 107729, member: 98"] hmmmmm the 78 and 79 short block motors of the 1000 are the best ...but the cams and carbs are another story ... actually when a 1000 is matched to the final drive of the 1100 ...like your bike is ..the 78-79 cans do better there than in a 1000 ... the only drawback as I see it is first gear is kind of tall ...I had an 79 1000 and still do that had a 1100 final drive in it ... I like it quite a bit ... it brought in taller gearing that matched the torque curve better ... I always hated having to shift gears in the middle of huge left turn in big intersections ...you wont have that problem any more ....its really not a bad set up at all ... on your parts bike your looking at find out what yr 1100 it is ... as they changed dam near every year ... the 83 being the only yr that will compete with the 1000 on the hiway for lower rpm .. as seasoned as it is it seems like someone did this on purpose to get taller gearing ... the only big drawback here is if you wanted to pull a trailer or side car its not really set up for that in gearing .... 300$ don't sound bad if parts bike is rather sound looking might have great motor in it :mrgreen: [/QUOTE]
