    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Are 1100 heads all the same???

Greetings,

I have a head off a 82 gs1100 that I want to sell on ebay. I need to know if there was more than one head manufactured for this bike or are all the 1100's the same. In other words if somebody buys this head for their 1100, I want to be sure it fits.

Thanks, Paul
 
I would just say, specifically what bike your's is (or what bike this head came off of) and then let the seller determine it. Always make sure to say selling AS IS and you should be good.

NO, they are not all the same.

G models have two valves per cylinder

E models have 4 valves per cylinder.

They are not interchangeable.
 
If it's an 1100E head, it will fit the 81-83 year 1100E's. The only difference is the cams between the 81/82 and the 83.

I'm not schooled in the G models, but I assume it's the same deal. As the years progress, the cam timing got tweeked.
 
They also upgraded the cam cover and head on the 24 valve head too, so you can't use a 20 bolt hole cover from an early model on the late model 24 bolt hole cover or vise-verse. But if you are including the cam cover with the head it should solve that question, If not then just count the bolt holes and include that in your infor and you'll be good to go.
