Never done it, but I'd guess it'll be remarkably straightforward, at least, as regards the "important" bits. Where are you, Poland?

Im in Slovakia(check left under my nick), 899 should have same gearbox, handling, dashboard etc..???? I hope so

New sporting with registration will cost me 1300-1500pounds, this will be around 400 with respray of front bumper and some hours of work - simple decision

and this one got some new parts and was serviced few miles ago..

..and, one more thing, you won't sell RHD in LHD country

899 has a different gearbox and different gear linkage and different driveshafts and different exhaust. Dashboard is the same.

gearbox's not important, only was asking to use as spare part - what about steering gearbox, with shafts ??? and, one more thing, what about cv joints, axles, etc.. ?? (probably will need to change it)

I know you know this, rallycinq

 

[rallycinq]

CV joints are the same, driveshafts are not. Steering rack is the same, brakes and suspension are very similar.

So, essentially, you'll want the steering rack, dash, pedal box and little bits like the parts to connect up the servo. The way to do it is to transfer the bits you need to the 1100, not the other way around! (Or so I'd have thought.)

 

[Diwiak]

thanks
I spent a lot of money for new thermostat, so it MUST fit, then I'll let u know

second life for cinq, yupee

 

[Diwiak]

ladz, and what about moving all sporting stuff to 899ccm chassis?? it means engine+gearbox, lower suspension, electric windows.. - hard work to do??

[Diwiak]

please explain simply-engine will fit, also lower springs, shock absorbers..???? what about connecting electric windows to wiring??

what's better colour?? grey metallic, or dark blue

 

[cc1]

The wiring should be the same but can't guarantee.
Elecy windows can be a pain to set up so the glass closes evenly.
Door looms should just plug in.

can't find emission limits for cinq's - 0.7, 0.9, 1.1

what is the difference?? thanks
