It is kindof the bastard step child of an 1100f and 1100C. While not particularly appealing to me, I don't think it's total garbage.

SeanG cleaned up and re-jetted some 1100 carbs to work on my 900. works just fine with them. i really want to see the other side of the bike to see how that shaft drive works.  |

Maybe someone did a shaft to chain conversion on it?
not likely. unless someone in this engine's past was a frustrated machinist with LOTS of time. that is a lot more work than you might think. |

don't limit yourself to CB900s or 1100s. i seem to recall seeing them on nighthawks too. Maier sells one for universal applications.
