No auto starters interchange, as far as I know.
Cross Interchange Parts
Factory Number
PowerSport RF86711075
BBB Industries 22-18600
NASTRA 18600
NASTRA 18632
Vision-OE PS-18600
HONDA 31200-463-008
A version of this starter is also fitted to some Kawasaki's. Sorry, I don't know which models.

'Impossible' is just a level of difficulty! The only stupid question is the one you didn't ask first!

Although the GL1000 engine looks the same , the starter won't fit the 1100. But the 1100 starter will fit the 1000.
All the 1100 models use the same starter.

Re: will any auto starters work on gl1100
No it will not fit. Only a starter from a gl1100 will work.Lovemywings wrote: ↑Mon Dec 07, 2020 2:03 pm Can anyone tell me if a 1987 aspencade starter will fit a 1983 1100 interstate
Your 87 starter will fit only 1985-1987 gl1200. (As a note...the 1984 gl1200 uses a different starter than yours.) Honda did a lot of changes in the 1980-1987 years of bikes.

Re: will any auto starters work on gl1100
I took my 1100 starter to a starter and alternator shop. He redid the guts and for a very low price. I think it was like $30.00. It worked like brand new.
