      Did you get the crank welded or slip an ED crank in?

      Nice work thanks for the pics.

        The crank was welded when I got this thing, doesn't look factory though. I have no idea of what date the 1100 was made in because the steering stem tag was removed, it was an '82 1100EZ though.

                  36 RS mikuni would be your friend and make 8-10 more HP than a set of vacuums.

                            Ray stopped by a couple weeks ago at my house. We went and grabbed a burger. While we were eatting he's telling me about how much torque his 1400 cc GS had and how it pull the front up.

                            I stopped Ray and said said "..............you know you have a **** eatting grin from ear to ear talking about that 1400" .... He said yea I know

                              I checked the gaps and they were right on spec.
