1100 engine mounts

Are the engine mounts the same throughout the range of 1000s and 1100s? Would a GPz1100 bolt into a Police model frame, or a KZ1100 frame? Just thinking/shopping around for a custom frame, got a project in mind.

From what i have seen yes they are

mounts are the same. some engine covers are a little different but should not present any problems.

Hey Duck, i just wanted to say thank you for those pictures you took earlier this year. I have the 1100 in my 900 frame and to be honest it fit better than the 900 did. Thanks again Jason

Thanks, that what I was hoping for. Should make things easier if I do go ahead with what I have in mind.

900/1000 frame/engine have FOUR mounts
all models the same

1000J and 1100 frame and engine have THREE mounts
all models the same

Can put J in kz or kz in J but need to modify the mounts.
Some discussion of this in past dragbike.com forum topics.
Prett obvious looking at the two side by side.

Have a kz900 engine and a J police frame here that I may be messing with merging in the not too distant future if I can't score this aftermarket frame I've bene eyeing.

i am posting this to restart a thread and to help the kz-j-model questioner...of whicj i also am curious....peace

Wow i forgot all about this posting. Well everyone i did it and it worked great! It was almost a bolt in type of thing. I did have to remove the lower rear mounts and the lower mounts in the center on the lower frame rail. I then Had to add one mount just under the front mount that was already there. Was alot easier than it looked. I did have to use all the spacers fromt the newer J model motor. Here is a picture with the kz 1100 shaft drive to chain conversion motor in a 76 kz 900 frame. If there is anything i can do to help just ask.

boy oh boy you guy's sure don't mess around...i'm just building a track day bike and fixing my old kz and here you are re-making bikes outta three,,, four dif bikes and spanning the z1-kz-jmodels all in one build.......that thing is no cookie cutter bike that is for darn sure.....
it must take you three minutes to say it's name when someone asks you what model and make it is.....just 100% great ...and you answerd my location mount ????too...peace:laugh:

Well where to being....It started out as a 1976 kz 900 dragbike. Its all Kaw but a few things. the forks rims and swing arm are all from a gxsr. I made a one off air ride for the rear swing arm. Made a new set of triple tree for the new forks.
