in another thread i talked about buying a fairing/luggage/crashbars from a guy who is stripping a '77 gl1000. all that stuff was, in fact, from a gl1100 so it will work for me and i got a really good price on it.
he will soon be pulling and selling the engine. i don't need the block, the exhaust isn't worth buying, and the starter, from what i have read, wont fit on a gl1100. there is however, a set of carbs that might be nice to have in stock. what's the word here ... will they work on a gl1100 ? by that i mean ... is it a straight bolt in, with no modifications and no appreciable loss of performance ?
thanks
joe

Yes they are a direct bolt on except the 1000 carbs have no port for the vacuum advance hose. The 75-77 carbs are a larger bore which may or may not improve performance on an 1100, got my doubts it would be noticeable. Maybe if you put the 1000 cams in it.

thanks very much for the replies.
wouldn't having no vacuum advance affect performance ?

Not much apparently, I have pulled off the vacuum line while riding an 1100, trying to diagnose a problem and couldn't tell it made any difference.
