Looking for tech post to help me fitting an XS750/850 final drive unit to my XS1100

[Turd Ferguson]

I have a XS750 final drive unit coming to fit onto my 79 XS1100F. I have seen multiple posts here taking about it and that a spacer needs to be fitted to make the XS11 drive shaft work with the XS750 final drive and that oil holes need to be plugged since the XS750 gears ran in the final drive oil. I could not find instructions and pictures as it seems those were on the old XS11 site and aren't anywhere here. Does anyone have those instructions and pictures that I could have or can be posted here? Thank you!!

You are correct, some data was lost in the transfer. Fortunately I saved a complete setup document and DiverRay graciously posted it for everyone's benefit.

One last question: the dimensions of the spacer are nowhere mentioned in the document or in the thread. Could you please let me know? Thank you!

Just below the picture on page 11 of the pdf, the author states:

Next I cut a ¾ inch copper sweat coupling (like you’d find at a hardware store)…I cut it 16mm long.

note: later on in the post, it was suggested that a brass fitting might be a better option than copper.

Good luck with the transplant, I like mine!
