No is my guess but thought I would check the oracle,
1150 gbox - will it fit an 1100?
- Thread starter Posh Pete
- Start date
I don't think so, without a lot of mods
Similar thread a couple of weeks ago and the answer was no. You'd probably have to change all the footrest hangers and rear subframe, even then I' don't know if the flywheel/clutch assembly/quill shaft splines are the same.
Mainly hydraulic clutch instead of cable also the subframe on the 1100 bolts towards the front on the right had side whereas the 1150 bolts toward the centre
But If you had an 1150 rear subframe and a hydraulic master cylinder for the clutch it's probably do-able

Ok. Many thanks oh wise ones.

Is there a document that lists all oilhead engines and transmissions somewhere on the site? (by generations at least, not worried about subtle differences and gearing )
Are all 1150's twin spark? Do all 1100 use manual clutch transmission?
EDIT: Looking forward to to British answer in the form of something like (no, yes, no)

Thanks.
So all of 1150's regardless of number of sparks have 6 speed transmission with hydraulic clutch?

I don't know whether you have heard of this guy or not, but he has done a lot of research on BMW bikes. Lots of very useful information.

Yes I have heard of him. I did read this info at one point but he stops at 1150's There is almost no info about hydraulic clutch transmission. I will reread maybe I missed it.
Then there is this site which lists all the different model specifications.

Being a pedant here but they are hydraulically actuated clutches as opposed to hydraulic clutches which are something completely different, more akin to a torque converter in an auto box for a car.

Point taken. I meant single plate dry clutch hydraulically actuated.

This one looks promising. More reading I guess. Thank you very much.

Ok so here we go
R1200C (and all variation of cruisers, chromeheads i guess, have hydraulically actuated clutch) 1996-
R1100S 1998-
All 1150
That about sums it I think.

Thanks for clearing that up - it has caused no end of confusion on the forum...
I'd hate to add to your confusion
