25000 miles later on the VT1100 experiment
Written by nanwillow on 10/10/2010 at 05:56 pm

Dave, I found and bought a '90 final drive from a VT1100 and will ask Honda
service to install it next time I change rear tires. Thanks for the heads up on
the year requirement. Would you let me know if you needed anything else besides
the Final Drive for the conversion. I see some are sold alone and others
include the drive shaft and other parts. Mine was only the final drive and was
for $50.

and only the rear from '87 to '92 (As I recall, at least) will fit. I found mine
on Ebay after searching for 3 months, and got it for $85. I had my mechanic
install it and it took a little over an hour for him to complete it. Total cost
was around $150.

think that's around half of that plus a lot of labor.
