Will a 75 GL1000 final drive fit an 84 GL1200?

Has anyone out here ever tried to swapfinal drivesfrom a 75 1000 to a 84-87 1200? The 75 has a 3.4 to 1 ratio while the 84 has a 2.8 to 1 ratio. There could be some big acceleration gains if this swap works.

I'd sure like to hear from you if you've accomplished this swap.

I didn't think they were compatable. The mounting bolts holes are in slightly different places and the driveshaft on the 1000 has less splines than the 1200 so I guess the driven gear in the 1200 is different as well. Can't say if you could just swap out the internals and keep the cases, that may be worth a look.
