    GS1100 / GS1150 Clutch Swap Possible?

    I've got a GS1100 clutch hub built with a heavy duty backing plate. My question is whether it will work on a GS1150.

    My 1150 had an 1100 inner sleeve for years. l never even knew until a year or so ago.
    Not sure about the whole unit, but my guess would be yes. Maybe compare part #s online until Ray Chef, Blowerbike, et, al check in. They are generally quick to reply with 1100 / 1150 questions.
    FYI, the 1150 sleeve has a steel insert. From the little I've hread, it's questionable about wether or not its better.

      If I recall....

      The 1100 basket will go into an 1150 but an 1150 won't go into an 1100 ... as I recall. But then I don't remember what I had for lunch yesterday.

        1150 hub with 1150 crank or 1100 hub with 1100 crank. Do not mix the two.

                  And I was thinking that would be a worthwhile upgrade. I have several 1100 clutch hubs that have excessive wear in the splines. I guess the 1150 just moves the problem to the outer splines.
