Joe, the 1100 pipe WILL bolt on but the rear hanger bracket won't line up correctly. You will need to fab a bracket for that. I can sell you adjustable needles to save you about 1/2 the cost of a jet kit. I build, race, & tune these 1100s & 1150s & will be glad to help you or answer any questions. You can call me at 714--356-7845 & I will help you out. Welcome to the site, Ray

you might want to re-think your plan.

run it like it is at the track.

Hi performance Tech advise!? if you need a lot of it, the heart aching has only begun....

your bike will LOVE 14/49 in the quarter.

pipe, jet kit, and sprockets should be on hold until you correct all the usual problematic issues these 1100/1150s' have in stock form...

cam chain tensioner , starter clutch , electrical systems, Drive clutch basket, -- just to mention for starters before you go and stomp it's guts out.

welcome to GSR, Be smart about what you do to your bike. If you boost power and the old stock cam chain tensioner folds up at 9000 RPM as you shift into 3rd gear = KA-BOOM!!! and WHEN it does -- not IF it does-- we'll all be here to help.
