81'-GS1100-16V clutch basket bolt on GS1000-8V?

[Addy Leung]

Could anyone give me some idea.
I have a welded clutch basket with HD back plate and springs for GS1100-16 and it has 87T.
Could I simply use it on a GS1000-8V? or do it need some machine work before bolt it on the GS1000-8V?

I thought about this too, but I heard it wont fit.

The GS1100 basket is slightly smaller in diameter but is quite a bit taller than the GS1000. You can machine down the height so that it will fit under the clutch cover. You have to use the fibers and steels from the GS1100. You will use less plates than the GS1100 also. Dar

I know that the plates and metal disc of 1100 and 1000 are same and both are 87T on basket.
Is it just machine down the height of the basket?

Or use the taller clutch cover from the 1100?

No, the cover of 1100 and 1000 are different.

The part numbers are different for the clutch plates. I'm pretty sure the 1100 parts are small diameter but there are more of them as already mentioned.

they make used to make spacer plates for a beefier clutch.
