All Activity

Was origanly built by an OSS member was at Stafford bike show in the Suzuki tent on the OSS stand before it got paint a mate from Scarborough then owned it and Allspeeds had a hand in finishing it of. Turbo fell off one night on the way home from a party at Chicken Central one nigh after that it was all repaired and got sold to a fella in the land of Scott's

I think they are just general replacement springs, not rider specific. Nothing on the paperwork that suggests they are custom weighted.

M5 tap turned up so finished the in tank filler retainer.

Not sure but the springs could be riders weight sprung, if that makes sense. And because fork oil weight differs between manufacturers I'd start with the recommended.

While I'm asking about forks, stock oil weight is 15w. I have a pair of hyperpro springs (no oil though) that I may fit (worthwhile?) And they recommend 7.5w. If I use these springs, I assume i should trust their recommendation too?

Much better to fit engine with barrels and head on, it is a real pain to fit rings in the frame, if you wish you can fit cams etc later. Remember the old tried and tested method of laying the bike on the side!

Hi. New to the forum. I've got a GSX750ES 83 I think. I managed to get the engine out. The Suzuki manual says lift slowly and remove to the right. I assume they mean a fully assembled engine but I don't think it's possible. I removed the rocker cover and it gave me just enough clearance. Can I put the bottom end back and then fit cylinders and head? Or is that not easy? Also I have a few spares if anyone needs anything

Springs will be a issue, actually found a gs, gsx bottom yoke in the workshop, don't know what was from, but by the looks of it a fairly straight swop will update as soon as I can measure it properly, might help someone else down the line, dirt cheap front-end

True, and it probably works!!

For some people it's about precision , never that'll do, it seems many hobbies are about refining skills and precision to extraordinary levels ( compared to my bodgery anyway) Google some Japanese woodworking to see complex precision cut joints that require no glue or fasteners as an example , or folks that make miniature engines from scratch . Simply asking why ? will only elicit the answer " because I can "

Hi welcome to OSS , I Honestly don't know whether the forks will fit but 1st check would be the length and diameter of the stem ,if it's the same length as the one in the GSX then check diameters as it may be the same if not check somewhere like all balls racing for conversion bearings if the length is wrong you may have to press the one out of the GSX yoke and fit it to the RF home if it's compatible. Don't expect the lock stops to be the same either , or the spring rates ....

Have you considered the time spend to do that, could probably built a new bike

Show some respect! If you'd bothered to read the OP replies you'd see why it made little sense! At least they've signed up as a trader and not trying to be 'an under the counter' type seller!

Bought another pair of forks, stripped them this morning, same.provressive springs so I guess that's stock. On this second pair the damper rods came out leaving the aluminium wedge bush thing in the slider, so the ones on the other forks must just be stuck.

Wtf????

Gsxr 1100l 90 model fixed shock mount and side adjuster

Gsxr 1100k 89 model adjustable shock mount, no side adjuster

Pics of front-end, the springs ate out but have them

And it's from a Rf 400, it's what happens if you don't pay attention to what you doing

Sorry forkset, fucking autocorrect

Howdy guys I am new member to the group, I will add some pics and create a build site for this bike but collecting parts at this stage, my question is will a RV 400 yoke and forest fit a Gsx 1100? Any help will be much ly appreciated

I snapped one at Worship late last year

For any one interested

Took my 750 slabby forks apart today, but how do the damper rods come out? Manual isn't much help. There is the aluminium piece on the end of the damper rod that moves, but won't come off. I assume that needs to come off for the damper rod to then come out the top of the stanchion? Also, are the stock springs progressive? Or have my springs been replaced?

No it's for the F1 but I may have finalised a deal on something that's been in the pipe line for nearly a year now while I was at the Kickback Show
