Griso valvecovers on v11/1100sport cylinderheads

[Anders]

I've seen à picture of a v11 sport with valvecovers from griso,it looked very nice.As i'm about to change to a new one on My 1100sport i got curious.Is it an East fit?

[AndyH]

Can you post the picture? Sounds interesting.

[pete roper]

Yes, its a straight swap. You'll probably need to put on longer HT leads if you want to run them over the top of the covers like the Griso and you'll also need the lead cover, the plug protector and the correct length bolts.

Many thanks Pete. That's great news.

 

AndyH,i'll have a look around for pictures. The ones i saw was in an ad at a german site www.mobile.de but the ad is gone now.

Have doen the same thing before the Centauro engine transplant . No fitting problems on the v11 cilinders. Not sure through if a 1100 sport fairing has enough room

That does look very nice. Do they weigh the same as the v11 ones? They look a bit more substantial.

[AndyH]

Agreed, they look very interesting. There's also a conversion kit to go back in time, round fin covers on square fin barrels. Haven't made up my mind which is better...

And look how tight the headers fit! Sweet! The valve covers really fill the space. Excellent!

It's a good thing they don't rush the developement and start designs from scrap every other year like the japanese factories. Hope you find the look you want.

HaydnR,I'ts the fairing from a Daytona RS/ 1100sport.

 

DOCC,I'm not sure what exhaust system is on there. It might be a conical from dynotech germany,or daes. Not sure.

I bought my 1100 Griso valvecovers with the bolts and plastic parts from Admin Jaap. Looks nice, and a bit more potent, on my Scura R I think. No pictures yet, sorry!

I bet it looks nice yes. Maybe pitcures in the future then.

From what I've found, the '07-'13 8v 1200 covers are different and won't work:

What works for us are the covers for the '05-'08 IE 1100:

Very cool. I really like the idea of using the round fin covers too...
