Upshotknothole Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 Do you have the valve cover that goes to it or the original cams or anything? It's not an 1100, valves are too small. F engines were painted silver. Maybe a slabby or bandit head? Quote Link to comment
Dicko Posted June 21 Author Share Posted June 21 The bike is a slingshot oiler, , been told it’s an L head but most I’ve seen differ in the way the oil ways are a part of the gasket face and not seperate like most I’ve seen Quote Link to comment
Upshotknothole Posted Friday at 06:50 PM Share Posted Friday at 06:50 PM L would make sense. It was an odd ball year, first year back as a long stroke and last year with tappets. Checked my factory manual. L heads had 27 intake and 24 exhaust valves. Quote Link to comment
Gixer1460 Posted Friday at 07:41 PM Share Posted Friday at 07:41 PM The 'K' was a long stroke 1127 for us in UK / Europe! Quote Link to comment

Valves are too small to be an 1100 head. Our 1100s in the states are the same as yours, only the 750s stuck around longer here. Quote Link to comment
