  • XS850 final drive

    just picked up a free 850, siezed engine but just wanted the final drive looking at it, it's a 81 LG with the kick starter, will the 81 850 kicker parts fit into my 80 1100 SG?
    where are we going, and why are we in this hand basket?

    The final drive will go on the SG with the small modification, but the kicker parts are not compatible. Internal tranny components are different between the two bikes. The SG requires splitting the cases to add the proper components anyway.

      Not necessarily bug. Most SGs have the internal gear that requires splitting cases from the factory. The other parts can be installed by simply removing the right engine cover (clutch cover) and then removing the black plug and installing the seal for the shaft.

      But no, the 850 parts won't work.
