    1100 swap for a 750 would be pretty hard.

    XJ900 goes in! and that is a whole heap more bang for your buck even though it is only 100 or 150cc more.

    The 1100 won't fit in the 750 frame without modification. The 900 will swap.
    The 1100 is a Maxim motor and not setup to be quick like a Seca. The 900 would be the best swap for what you're wanting.

    Ok sweet thanks for the strait up answer. I have found also that the 900 makes just as much H.P as a 1100 acording to bikez.com so i guess my next question. What yr 900 is the best way to swap?

    XJ4ever at the top right has a section for motor swaps. Best guess would be 82 or 83.
