Awesome, thanks. Just let me know how much the shipping is.
It's only illegal if you get caught.

If at first you don't succeed, use more lighter fluid

95% of Harley Davidsons ever made are still on the road... The other 5% made it home.

No new pictures as all I have been doing is sawing off tabs. I have learned something, Honda put some NASTY welds on these frames!

haha I've only been about 6 times in my whole life (not counting work).

I flaked on sending your tank out. No excuses, just an apology.

Like I said no rush, just one less thing to pack when I move.

So just out of curiosity, does anyone know if an 1100f engine will bolt into a 750 frame? I've looked into a few online sources and it appears they are all based off of the same block.

I took a few measurements in the past and they looked suuuper close, if not identical. The 1100 engine is a little taller ( longer cylinders ), but not enough to run in to the frame or cause header fitment issues.

I know lots of internals and external covers direct swap between 750,900 and 1100, so I can't imagine there being much, if any, differences between the basic cases.

My 750 has a 900 clutch, trans and rods in it. I saw one guy run an 1100 clutch on a 900. Lots of guys will run 900 oil pumps in 750 engines to push through large oil coolers. I think it all swaps just fine, BUT, no personal/hands on experience.

Did a little looking around the interwebs, looks like I could get more out of modifying a 900 than the 1100. Also looks like the 900 would be easier to get my hands on.

Waaay easier. Guys want stoopid prices for 1100 parts. It's almost as bad as the sandcast elite.
