Can a Gl1100 engine be installed in a 1975 frame?

far as I know 75-78 all bolt the same, but you are going to have a fight with the wiring.

The 1100's are '80 - '83. There are subtle differences between the 1000's and 1100's but only some one who has tried it will know.

I put an 1100 into my 75 years ago and the only place it didn't fit was at the back of the motor where the spark advance unit is.There is a cross member on the 1000 frame that doesn't clear the spark unit by a good 1/2 inch(at least).Other than that it bolted right up and most of the wiring is the same.

Did you remove the cross member and weld it back in? Dave
