Getting an old rebuild running again

[gearhead13]

Hows the clutch hub? I'd look into a Gorrila clutch hub or find a rebuilt one off Ebay. Those stock suckers just plain suck.

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.

Damn that motor is clean.

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.

[doctorgonzo]

oh yeah!

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

Got the engine in today, tomorrow hope to get it running
Here is the 750/816cc out:

getting ready to muscle it in:

Engine in, went in fairly easy:

That engine sure looks purdy!
