Been there done that............... I recall it had a 5 speed in it when Garry had it.....and he must have had a job lot of red wire too ............

Nice Headers Shame about the Cam Cover Gasket.............

a pic from the side with both seats would be good.... but bent or twisted grab rails don't help ...have you got all the right spacers and washers under the front mount...check the rear mount brackets are not bent... and its not unusual for the rear frame rails to be slightly bent the seat panels have rubber covers on the tabs when new but they don't make much odds ...

Foook in hell Matt long time no hear....you must either like the middle east or the $$$ ...you,ve been there a few years now a friend of mine owned that Kat for some time it had some nice bits on it and in it... if I recall ResCogs bought it off him via Eblag it then changed hands a few times quite quickly and ending up collecting dust at Motorcycles Unlimited in Perivale where you acquired it from..... I,m guessing that pic was taken at the Dyno day at the old BigCC shop that was part of the old 200mph forums 3 day event ...Dyno , flyers and then 1/4s at the Pod....I only did the 1/4s on me Blue EFE I,m sure the OSS grapevine will find its current location given a little time...... if you can narrow down the year it was in Streetfighters I can look to see if i have the mag Clive

I,ve not had this one on the road ..but I used my old EFE draw Thru on the road a lot....Similar Set up turbo wise motor but with a HSR 42 Carb.... No problem on road and sounds sooo much better than a Blow Thru

You don't need to at Robinsons just enter part no's on the quick order pad............

just because Robinsons don't list the bike on there site ....does not mean they cannot supply the parts you can look up the part no's on Alpha-sports then order from Robinsons to get discount..... Simples And we like pics

Yeap I ran this on the Street.. Most of the issues have already been pointed out ...it was fine when on the move on open roads .but as soon as you get stuck in traffic "even filtering thru it" the temp goes of the Richter scale .. ."lack of any air flow and a solid block" ......it also used to ooooze heat once you parked up....and needed to be left for 30min before starting again on the plus side it was a real hoot to ride....and worth the agro......would I do it again 50 / 50 ..... Tom "Havoc" has proved a big block with a turbo can be a daily ride and euro tourer...you just have to be prepared to suffer some pain for the huge grin factor it give I am in the process of doing a 1397 in a re-linered stock block that should be less agro on the road.... PS on the subject of other pistons you can do a 1260 in a stock EFE block using GSXR 1100 L . M piston's and decking the block about 2 mm

As Ian said the GSXR motor is loads cheaper to prep and can be made do 250 - 300 BHP with some decent slugs.....

My bike runs 1100 suspension geometry and parts "Ok its a modified bandit arm" .. but the linkage is 1100 K , L ....your bottom link is bandit "which is making the geometry wrong" hence the stiff suspension..... pics are 2 years old but I now run adjustable links "dog bones" so I can adjust the ride height between street and strip I did not mean your links foul the spring ..but the bottom of the spring carrier on your shock looks like it may foul the bottom suspension link "the bandit bit" a different shock or link lengths will not fix the problem IMHO.................. for suspension to work properly the basic geometry has to be right ...............

Sorry I sold the 750 arm I had sometime ago ....Del is the oracle on parts ... They look to have used all GSXR parts with the exception of the bottom link which is blandit... this on its own is compromising the set up..it looks like the shock will rub the link when the suspension unloads... Ok in my opinion ..the top shock mount is a bit low and the bottom link mount to high this in turn puts the geometry of the blandit lower link out of kilter hence it being very stiff.... it would improve to some degree with the correct btm link .... 1st pic shows the correct bottom link.... 2nd pic is top shock mount on same bike...

The rear end looks like GSXR 1100 or 750..the 750 being about 30mm shorter ..... I notice that it looks like it still has the stock air box....If so that will compromise the top shock mount location..... a pic of the linkage with out side panel on would help..as we like pics..........

Yes the 1135 motor is a longer stroke than the oil boiler ...but it also has a flat sump... the water boiler micron on mine has had about 15mm taken out of the down pipes and the collector modified to get it tight to the sump... the 1100L had the shallowest sump I think as it had twin silencers and the bandit has an offset deeper section to clear the 4 -1.....as long as you use the pick up that matches the sump they swop over ... all the microns I've seen on oil and water boilers are quite tight to the sump....

In that case I would have thought the micron would be the best option but would need the 4-2-1 modding to miss the pegs "assuming you have stock pegs and hangers" I cut and carved a Micron from a water boiler to fit my EFE "but it still has the Air-cooled Proper Engine "

Post a pic of the bike....I know those that have mounted the engine to the rear of the frame have problems ....

They are the best even if Trev is an ass at times.....but he found a problem with the material he originally used in the earlier ones was not 100% compatible with Unleaded Pi55 so changed it.......was some time ago when he used to post constructive stuff on forums before just slagging off every one else's stuff ...

Just noticed you have some of Trev's earlier solenoid's have you had the O-rings changed to suit unleaded ,,,,he was doing free a few years back

Ok one for the gixerphiles ....for a coil spring 1100 clutch ..... Anybody know the spring free length Item 13 and the spacer length Item 12....Please

TBH a better tyre would help .."easy fix"....It span the 1/4 on the last run I know as It reached 5th......LoL no Its a bit lively until it settles down in 3rd then I struggle to see the tacho with me head down .. I'm going to sort the tyre and play with the clutch "static pressure" ..then maybe change gearing I would like more springs in the clutch to make it more tuneable on the static...TBH...... and Suzuki plates have gone crap of late I think they are using a different material as they are bone dry after 2 runs.....

Its geared tall TBH....hit 4th at 1000ft ..And roll it off steady at Long Marston let engine and box do the work slowing down always enjoy the Bulldog....will wait and see what they say for 2018.....Yes we should be at Hot Rod Drags ..... I tend to punch 2nd & 3rd early and late on 4th.....

Well Bulldog 2017 now over ...no prize this year....But New PB speed 158mph.... and found that Boost Gauge's are just like Tacho's... they go all the way round .

What did it make BHP wise then ?

http://www.jwmotorcycles.co.uk/ would be close to you .......................and very good I,m told

I would guess that the 750 is easier ...as the 1100 engine is slightly taller ......

All the cheap GSXR 1000 headers I've seen on ebog are log style ....from ting tong land I've made 2 sets of draw thru headers and there's 20+ hrs. in a set.....parts were £125 ish and I made the collector ... there's not a lot of profit doing them as one offs
