Anyone have any idea weather or not a K1100 output shaft (which I assume of the 12 rivet design) would fit in a K100?

Please tell me yes, you will make me a happy little vegemite.

G'day Floyd , yes , when my original 6 rivet unit was threatening to detonate a 12 rivet K1100 was installed , all good

HOOOOO-freaking-RAAAAH!

thats fantastic. thank you sir, you've made my day

What other major engine components are compatible?

Anyone know of any resources outlining the similarities and differences?

Are they basically the same, only with different bores and/or strokes?

If you are thinking of putting the 1100 in place of the 1000 it is not as straight forward as you may think.
The ECU and injection is a stumbling block. I know of one person who tried to do it and had problems in that area and put the 1000 back in.
To be quite honest I reckon that the 8 valve engines are a better engine for the job. I have a K1100 and I would have no hesitation going to a K100 again, as far as I am concerned the electric screen was the only big improvement and I do get better fuel economy.

Absolutly, 100% agree with you Rick G.  

Just thinking about which other 'upgrades' could I scavenge of a 'wrecked' K1100.

Thinking, complete front end, throttle bodies, injectors, output shaft....

Wondering what else is in the realm of possibility...

and the paralever rear end .... 
garn 
im a lost sod

but love my old 8 valve girl

plus the 4.5x18 rear wheel & centre stand if they are not bent

JR

Sweet as....

The k1100 I just picked up comes sans rear end.... Will need to source a rear wheel eventually...good to know I have a suitable centrestand for the upgrade

I put in a 1100 output shaft into my 85 about 5 years ago from a used K1100..

Only issue was that the output shaft bearing on my 85 had to be reused, as at some point on the K100 line, they changed out the bearing/cases with a different design..

I just removed the K1100 bearing and installed my old output bearing which looked in great shape..

Cheers Dave,

Good to know.


Would the alternator work and be a sensible upgrade? Anyone know?

If you need more power...........up to 09/92 the K11 alternator was 33A same as the one on the K100,
from 09/92 it was upgraded to 50A.
