GL 1000 with a 1100 engine project

#1

Post by Trophyvictor »

So after digging deeply in the forum, when one wants to change from the 1000 to a 1100 the most common is to change the ignition, cilinder, and electrics out of the 1100... I think it is more reliable to have the all lot in place so I am gonna change all the 1100 package in to a 1000 frame and clothes...

And as it stands now.. I do had a 1100 with a rotten frame that I had bought in boxes... She will be the donor...
