What 1000cc models were air cooled and carbd?

Yes it will. You have to have the correct harness for the ignitech

That would make sense. Seems like an easier mod would be 900-944 overbore with a lighter flywheel.

Yeah it would be easier punching out the 900.  Dual swingarm 1000ds motors with dry clutches aren't the easiest/cheapest things to find.

I have often thought about what I would do if I lived in the US.

I would approach someone like Bruce Meyers, or someone who can do the work, I would get some heads, long manifolds, big 45/40 valves from CCW, some 900ie or ST2 cams, and send them to him. I would ask him to change the valve angle to fit the big valves and port the heads and match port the long manifolds. I know short manifolds make more power, but I wouldnt want to cut and relocate frame struts on a Monster.

While he is working on them, I would add hi comp or big bore hi comp pistons, bigger airbox, etc.
I have most of these mods now and have thought about this alot. So instead of changing motors you could buy big barrels and pistons and hotrod heads which bolt on. You could estimate what you would spend to buy a 1000DS engine, minus selling the 900 donk, and make that your budget. Anyone got a rough estimate on that?
