im liken it....ok,got a new rear tire.Dunlop D404 140/90-16 to go with the 83 rear wheel. put the tire on,swapped rotors(81 has more braking surface).tried to use the 81 axel and wouldnt work,tried the 83 axle,went in first try.the rotor lines up with the caliper bracket,BUT the tire hits the drive shaft tube.not bad but still rubs it. it there a way to shim the wheel over just a lil bit?? or do i need to ues the 83 diff?

 

[joedrum]

i have often thought you could do this to maybe line up tracking or fix rub ....but have never gone there yet ....seems spacer could be shimmed just a bit ....

 

[slabghost]

83 spacers might be just enough difference.

 

[81 Gwing]

83 spacer is the same. the hot wrench took care rubbin problem. those wheels make my wing look so much better

I agree the 83 wheels are much better looking. That is one tight fit, I curious, I haven't read the entire threat but what do you feel the advantage is to going to a wider tire? The reason I asked it because I have considered the same thing, but now that I see how tight it is I think I'll stay with stock.

 

[joedrum]

mostly looks only other thing on 80-81 bikes is slightly lower gearing ..rear tire not quite as tall

 

[81 Gwing]

rides better, ya dont feel the cracks or lil bumps as much. theres more rubber from the rim to the road. my 81 is on the left with the stock rear tire, 83 on the right,stock rear tire

finally found a 84 1200 interstate. sat for a long time out side,some else bought from the orignal owner and wanted to make a rat bike. he gonna give the fairing,bags ect when he can digum out of this 14in of snow we got. shows 59,000mi.....$50. needed a good carb cleanin,fuel pump(have one).(carbs were off it when i got it),still needs a solinoid put on(i have one) runs good now. gonna do the swap later on when i get the 1200 all cleaned up and polished.also gonna the clutch over to cable.

the day i got it..it was burried in a snow bank

cleaned the carbs( way easier than the 1100's)

1100 intake is bigger

new pump

then there was a fuel leak,seals WERE leakin

my 81(with a 83 engine) goin in the basement for winter storage. its 38 out

 

[joedrum]

yah pass the short block 1200..... i didnt think much of the heads and carb set up of 1200s

 

[81 Gwing]

1100 heads any better? the carbs are bigger on the 1200. any benifits of swappin heads and carbs

pass the short bolck???

 

[joedrum]

well my bike has 1100 heads ...early 1000 75-77 cams and is weber carbed SCC..c5 ignition.....and its faster than all wings made stock ...
