    Trans gear interchangability

    Would the countershaft gear set assembly from a 1980 XS1100L MNS work in my 78 1100e?

      Hi Clyde,
      Be sure and look CLOSELY at those gear 'dogs' of the Midnite assembly. Even the slightest rounded ege on those dogs would be worth dis-assembly of gears from shaft and correcting before installation.
      81H Venturer1100 "The Bentley" (on steroids) 97 Yamaha YZ250(age reducer) 92 Honda ST1100 "Twisty"(touring rocket) Age is relative to the number of seconds counted 'airing' out an 85ft. table-top.

        3Phase & motoman -- Many thanks for the input. There's a complete unit on Ebay for $30 plus shipping and I figured I'd clean it up (dremel) and swap it in. Thx. Clyde

          Don't forget to swap the washer from one side of 2nd gear to the other.
