    The clutch hub looks decent, but the heavy springs in back are loose
    I will have to look into rebuilding it, I did my 750 hub fairly easy. The difference between the two is major, the 1100 hub looks bulletproof compared to the 750 one.

        Would you believe I only had to dust it off

          What did you have done to the cylinder head? Did I miss a post?
          What carbs., pods/no pods, exhaust in the 750 frame?

            The cylinder head was cleaned already and a valve lap done with new seals, the ports were either mildly cleaned up before or the casting is a lot better than my 750 head. I have 34mm cv carbs on my 750 now with a DJ kit. I am going to try and use a stock airbox with a K&N. I have the 1100 airbox and the 750 airbox, have to figure what I am going to do. The 750 has a V&H 4-1 header on it already and I was wondering about fitment, primary and collector sizes etc. Then I looked at the V&H site and the part number for the 750 and 1100 4-1 are the exact same ,so I am golden. I had 3 EBC clutch springs left over from the 750 along with 3 new stock springs that are going in, and I am going to deglaze the steels before they go in. I was wondering about gearing, I have a 530 set on it now with a 17/49 ratio, and I already have 16t and 18t front sprockets, but I will likely stay with the 17/49 unless someone says something to change my mind.

              That will be one FUN "sleeper"
              You are going to leave the 750 stickers on it right?

                  I LOVE IT when I get comments about my bike.
                  Like this one:
                  "That is the fastest 750 that I have ever seen!"

                    You may get clutch slippage with the 3&3 setup. I had to go with six Barnett but I think I was pushing a little more HP.

                      No doubt. My 1000 is bored to 1054 and still has the 1000 badges on it, and my 1100 will be a 1230 still flying the 1100 badges proudly.

                        Degreeing the cams. Both measure 230 Deg @0.50"
                        Intake valve lift is almost .300" ex is .280"
                        I am going for 106 in and 108 ex centers.
                        The manual says the rotor is supposed to be torqued to 115-120 lb/ft
                        How am I supposed to hold the crank and engine at that amount

                          you can use a impact on a different bolt, on a seperate piece of steel/ then check it with a torq wrench, then use the impact on it at what ever setting it is on

                          or put the bike in gear have someone hold the brakes?

                          i dont want you to stick anything in the rotor teeth,"if you brake something, dont want ya mad at me

                            The engine is not in the bike now. So, maybe I will torque it as much as I can now, then finish the torque once the engine is in the bike. But, jeez 120 lbx/ft could almost lift the bike off the ground. Does it REALLY need 120 lbs??
                            If I got mad at you then it would be my own fault for not using my own head
