    RK ignition

    The RK engine is an updated Long Stroke 749 (slabby)rather than the short stroke 748 used in the J/K Slingshots

    RK ignition

    I don't think they changed the ignition set up , they relocated the oil pressure switch from behind the cover so they could use a chamfered cover for better ground clearance
  3. It would be rude to refuse such a kind offer
  4. Leon did do kits for GXR's, he used my mates 750K to do an exhaust and carb kit, the carb kits are a lot more involved than just being a simple ACK though. He did an 1100K for Mark Forsythe too. He did 750 Slabbies too but I don't recall what they needed. Summer 1990 when he died, I remember it like it was yesterday
  5. Yeh I realise that. Cheers But what stock Suzuki carbs with nothing more than an inlet rubber swap.
  6. Premier Inn West again is it then . Already booked mine
  7. Couple of BMW pads that are close and may work with a bit of trimming FA294 81x45.9x7.7 or FA613 81x45.9x9.4 Same pad but different thickness
  8. Its a late 81 so I have to wait a bit yet . Well it was imported to the UK and registered in 97 so DVLA gave it a manufactured date of December 81 bastards. If I could prove earlier I would get onto them to change it. I have a Big Tank to go on but it needs a bit of work
  9. Just had this old girl out again after doing the carbs. I really had forgotten just how much fun these things are to scoot around on
  10. Thats my 750 et onthe road for the 1st time since i bought her in 2015. Pissed through the MOT but is running rich. Pulled the carbs , float valve seat seals hard and horrible, float heights at 20mm , spec is 24+/-1 lol and fuel tap is free flowing when it shouldn't. Carb repair kits and a new fuel tap that doesn't break the bank ordered. Tap repair kit for the old tap so i can put that on my BIG tank when I get it painted. Once the carbs are sorted its oil & Filter time and new tyres are required, front is a 2003 and rear a 2007 . Pic is of the bike as I bought it. It's still the same but the exhaust will be going for something a bit more fruity. Slabby 750 next ,then the 884M then the 884RK ,order subject to change depending a number of factors.
  11. I can normally find sprockets to convert most things to 530,525,520

    884 gsxr749

    884 kit on a 749 is a 76mm bore, same as an 1127. I use 1127 head gaskets for mine , either OEM or Athena with a thin application of Wurth Flange sealer(or Wellseal) as recommended by Richard Albans at TTS
  13. Sorry guys haven't been in for a while , I really need to get back in the habit
  14. Sorry guys I have been a bit slack on keeping up with the goings on on OSS . I am on holiday at the moment back as of 14th January
  15. I have left my JT sprocket catalogue in the unit so cant find the JT 520 versions till tomorrow when I go in , Renthal do a 520 conversion but I may be able to find JT which will keep the cost down
  16. Same sprocket for Slabb and JK JTR 829 . I do JT or Renthal
  17. Looks like a slingshot dual outlet tap , main /reserve switching takes place inside the tap and always feeds both outlets .Straight feeds 1 & 2 bent 3&4
  18. I have just been talking to Robert Scott so I will have my CP Racetec Braided hoses stand there. I will try to get my 884 RK and 884M up and rideable for the event too . My Plan is to arrive on Wednesday evening
  19. Easiest route is a gas flow 3 angle cut and a 771 kit and then some proper carbs matched to a decent exhaust
  20. Yes there may be some compensation required regarding block height cam chain length/tensioner blades will be a problem if you shorten the block longer rods may be required ,once I have measured the pistons I will let you know
  21. I have spoken about this before but haven't got around to mocking up an engine yet. 2011 on I think ZX10R pistons are lightweight slipper 76mm so would give 884 on a 749 Gudgeon pins I think are 15mm possibly 16 I will have a measure. I have a set of 884 pistons to measure the ZX10R pistons against for pin to crown height and compare weight , I think the crown will be lower and they will be a LOT lighter
  22. I can supply the tube and I have guys that I use to swap the knuckle over as it can be troublesome. Even experienced guys cant do them all without stripping the thread in the knuckle
