Re: Intruder INTERCHANGE HELP
Generally speaking they are pretty much not compatible with each other. Some things are interchangeable but not a lot.
The 21 inch front wheel from the 800 will fit on the 1400. I personally don't know enough about the 800 to be of much help though.
Bronx is the guy you really want to talk with. He wheels and deals these bikes like there no one elses business.

Re: Intruder INTERCHANGE HELP
The 800 has a rear drum brake and front rotor. The rotors are interchangeable, the caliper is not as the bolt patterns are different.
Front brake pads are interchangeable also.

Re: Intruder INTERCHANGE HELP
Actually, IIRC, the caliper is the same part number. Honestly, linesider, you'd probably know for sure since I remember you having both bikes. I know the clutch and brake lines interchange.linesider wrote:The 800 has a rear drum brake and front rotor. The rotors are interchangeable, the caliper is not as the bolt patterns are different.

Here's a compete list, from memory of things that are an exact fit or require little modification to fit from front to back.
Bars
Mirrors
Turn signals
Master cylinders
Front wheel, rotor(older 700s had a 5 bolt rotor, so keep that in mind)
comlplete front end (trees to caliper, the whole thing fits the steering head perfectly, good to know if you'd like wider or narrower forks)
Spark plugs
Battery (only a slight difference in size, I had a 1400 battery in my smaller Intruder)
Final drive (swap both ways, 1400 for better highway gearing, 800 for quicker acceleration)
I'm sure I'm missing a couple things and I'll add them as I remember.
Current rides: 03 HD FLHT & 01 Yamaha XVS650(BIP)
Former: 87 Suzuki VS700, 94 BMW K1100LT & 91 Honda CB250
I don't want to own them all, just ride them all.

Re: Intruder INTERCHANGE HELP
Partsoutlaw uses different part numbers for the calipers, and IIRC the distance between the caliper bosses on the fork lowers is different, so I'll stand pat on this opinion!enforcer wrote:Actually, IIRC, the caliper is the same part number.

Coupla' things to add to the list:
Speedo housing and I believe some speedo's
backrest pad
toolbox covers - front and rear
backrest "cap" (aka "handle, pillion rider, upper")

Re: Intruder INTERCHANGE HELP
So I can swap my 94 800 rear drum to a 1400 rear with disk? Does the year matter?enforcer wrote: ↑Wed Apr 06, 2016 2:35 pmActually, IIRC, the caliper is the same part number.
