cool, matt. I am sure you will transform that thing into a beautiful machine.
and yes, I do have a spare 1127...or at least I did until I bought my 82. if I do decide to put the V&H engine or the stock 1127 in mine, I will still need one for my 92 project.
If that is the case, I will have the stock motor from the 82 as a spare.
hmmm....decisions, decisions.
be warned though, my spare 1127 should be rebuilt. it ran fine when I took it off the road, except it burned some oil. nothing serious....just worn rings. hone the cylinders, add new rings...maybe have the valves resurfaced, and change all the bearing. in other words, a simple overhaul. I am guessing around $400 if you can tear down and re-assemble the motor yourself.
another option is that we split on a bike sort of like we did with the one you picked up on ebay. I can scout out the local ads and find something with an 1127 in it. that 93 1100 kat that sold for $800 CDN would have been a perfect example. you take the motor, I keep the body. it would have been perfect.
