I need to replace the clutch basket on my 1980 gs1100. I've heard that certain years had baskets different than the one from my bike. Could I use a 1983 1100 basket?

Hi chef1366,
I have a 1982 GS 1100GL with (75k miles) a very bad clutch basket. I have an opportunity to purchase a very nice, complete, used (only 23k miles) 1980 GS 1100E clutch basket including the upgraded APE nut. Will the 1980E clutch work in my 1982GL?
Thanks

The 8 valve basket is NOT the same. I build them & can cut a 16 valve 1100 basket down to work in the 8 valve motor. Did one for Anthony, in the Project section for the build on his motor (http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum...rmance-Rebuild). There are pictures there, towards the bottom of the first page, I know I sent him a bunch when I was building his hub.

shaft drive large CC 8 valve baskets are the same as 80-83 1100E/ES and are interchangeable both ways.
same goes for the inner hub and steels and fibers.
ray,
sorry for not getting back to you....call me again if i'm still needed.Comment

It appears that 'rapidray' and 'blowerbike' have different experiences on whether or not the 1980 1100 E clutch will fit on my 82 1100GL. I'm going to purchase the 1980 1100E clutch basket and compare them side by side and report back.
Thanks all,

my experience in parting out 1980 and later USA model chain and shaft large GS's (1100cc) models is that the baskets have the same depth/tooth count/clutch style and inner hub type.
i believe Ray was speaking of 1000cc 8 valve chain drive, possibly pre-1980 model's.
as with anything the seller of the parts need to know exactly what they are selling..a lot oF ebay sellers GUESS or ASSUME.Comment
