Newer 1100 Engines in an Older Tonti Frame?

[salsaman1964]

My advice is to buy a later model machine as a complete runner rather than buying an engine. Sell all the bits you don't need and I'll be surprised if you don't get you money back and still have an engine and gearbox which is effectively Free.
Have a look at the sachse ignition (www.elektronik-sachse.de). Its a piece of cake to set up and you can use your original coils. I'd go for Mikuni carbs rather than dellortos.

Euro MotoElectronics sells those too.

Would the jugs and all from an 1100 fit an 850 case?

I see the Sachse ignition for Airhead BMWs but not for Guzzis.

What motor? What mileage?

110 sport it had 140 000kms when it had a chew on a piece of carb slide making a reason for a earlier engine tear down than originally intended. As they say on the internerd totally worth it! even if it was a basic stock tidy up.

I saw a 70's Tonti with an 1100 sport engine on either pipeburn.com or bikeexif.com   It was a carbed motor, but that's about all I can remember from the article.  The bike did look good with that motor stuffed in.

I have the Sachse on my SPIII with the Euro Moto alternator upgrade with a set of 2 ohm ? generic bobbin coils from the local auto spares shop.
ZDG3 is childs play to setup and it runs faultlessly and I ride year round as a commuter. I am using the Hall effect pick up.
