1100G clutch basket interchangability

[jonr]

Greetings gang,

I'm looking to replace the clutch basket on the 1100G and when I go to alpha sports and click on the part number I get to a number that gets superceded a few times ultimately ending up with 21200-49214. When I look up the clutch for an 1100E the part number ends up being the same. I checked and the hub and the bearing they are identical part numbers as well. To ice the cake, the aftermarket clutch kit is the same for both models.

You're thinking, "all the numbers match, it must be the same clutch basket right?". Well, I'm thinking the same too. However, I find it odd that they would use the same basket in the 8-valve models as they did the 16-valve models. Can anyone confirm that these are indeed interchangable? I'd like to know before I end up with a useless ebay part!

Thanks-
Jon

I know for sure 80-83 clutch hubs are the same. Sometime after that they switched to a straight cut driven gear but the baskets are the same. If you want to put an 80-83 E model clutch basket-hub on your 82 G it is the same.

Chef,

THanks for the info. The one I was looking at on Ebay has a stright cut gear, so I assume that it won't work. THe seller mentioned it was out of a GS1100, but it must an 84 or 85.

I have a clutch basket from a 83 1100e/es in my 1980 1000G
the clutch baskets (and driven gear) for 80 and 81 1000G, and 82-83 1100G dirrectly intechange with the basket and driven gear for 1980 up to 1983 1100E.

the basket for the 83 1100E is suspose to have stronger/ larger rivits but it is the same part number as the one used in a 80 1000G.
and when I did the swap from my stock basket to the one from a 83 1100E I could not tell a differance in rivit size (my problem was actualy with the bearing it spins on)

pre- 80 1000 E/S used a smaller weaker clutch basket and do not interchange that I am aware of, with 80 and up 1000G/1100 G/E

the 1980 1000S uses the same clutch as the older 1000's as it uses a odd combination of parts, the bottom end is unique to that one year, it is the same as the 79 1000's except it does not have the kick starter.
and it uses the big port head from the 1000G.
