Never had one of those mufflers apart to see if it's got packing..i'd suggest a soak in caustic if it doesn't have packing. They're a one piece system too - bugger.
You can at least clean out the headers fairly easily. Flex drive on a good drill does it. Wound curtain hanging wire makes a good flex drive and it's easy enough to put a wire brush on the end. I'd seriously doubt if even a good thrash would clean out much baked on carbon.
Funny, after pioneering Nippon liquid cooled production bikes back in the `70s with their GT 750 & RE 5..
..Suzuki tried to be clever with the bloody flimsy slabby-flabbies & spray heaps of oil around inside instead..
No wonder it found its way into the pipes.. but hey, at least it stopped 'em rusting out, eh.. give 'er heaps, like a 2T, shit'll burn out..
Not an 1100, but I just bought this little sweetie sight unseen.

Aw jeez Bob - i hope that's not going to be your donor frame....
Can i have it to use till you come south again ?
Most definitely not a donor bike, I have a spare 4 or 5 hundred for one of those, but this one is far too good.
I got it as a wedding anniversary present for my wife. Same method as I used to get the '66 R50 BMW I got her last year that I enjoy riding.
Do you know Gary that owned it? a British gentleman about your age.
