  1. Similar Spec to mine Head on mine was done by Dom Trickett And i need to remove the spacer from its brief turbo & Nos Time
  2. As I understand it "its well known that Bob was stubborn" so it was done with a bit of butchery and adjusting the engine position slightly it only need a few mm of clearance as if you look at a close up pic the frame / rear mount slightly encroached over the case ... Bob supplied a longer stiffer arm with drag slots for the revised lowered version of the bike and i think he tried a set of raked yokes in it as well Apparently when he ordered the beam frame it was built with clearance for the lockup spacer "I bet that was a very abuse laden conversation" but that said he did a lot to promote Spondon on a coax its a huge problem to overcome as the cover / engine is behind the arm pivot ... . so best not to go there Yes Jimbo with the Yellow Harris turbo had to have his frame modified for the same reason I think there's a pic on here pics are here unfortunately some the pics are photo bucket overlayed since he originally posted but still viewable and there are clear ones on page 3
  3. Ok real world comparison my 1166 EFE forged pistons welded crank lock up proper built motor . Garrett T3 "external gate" Tractor Carb "HSR is no better in BHP stakes" this was a quick favour Tim Blakemore did for me to check the fuelling with a 6PSI spring 159BHP with top end blips on the curve "later traced to a split Dyna Coil once home" we only did the one run due to time and not wanting to take up Tims Dyno Time messing about with it ... So 10 down on the Rajay Once i had it sorted it made 175 at same boost....so a huge 5 bean better
  4. if you look i have explained the reason for the low fig Use a modern BB snail on the same motor at 10PSI ..200 on a good day with a lock up
  5. Agreed but you original post eluded "chuckle" to the Low HP figure of the set up... which as I said was good for what it was Bill actually skimmed over "laughed off" the low / poor ETs he ran "I,m ok with it" The Limiting factor was actually the frame "could not fit a lock up which held back the power" also an issue with later CoAx "speeling" Spondon frames The Bike was a year or two later reconfigured raked and lowered "the brick rule now being in place" new Spondon arm with slots and they managed to gain enough room to fit a lock up and spacer .. viola 220 / 240 ish bhp with same set up and mid 9,s he then bought an Ali "beam" frame which was specially built at the rear to have room for the lock up & Spacer .Given Bob was stubborn that was a miracle ..i,m sure there are pics on here some ware of both I actually lost track of USB in 87 ish marriage kids sold USB bike etc....but did attend the Long Marston rounds as on my doorstep It got very Bitchy towards the End but many went on to be successful in SSB and other classes ..and one or two still have there original USB bikes ..there is a group on faceache that occasionally gets updated
  6. Not the roman candles you seam to think they are .... I,ve ran two road bikes with them with no issues as have many others
  7. Draw Thru's have always used a Carbon Sealed Whizzer that's why the Rajay was so popular along with the fact they dont need much oil pressure 200bhp was / is possible with a Rajay....you just put a big spring in the gate and hang on
  8. Given it was on a Rajay, Tractor Carb, 4star its still a good no.. Wee Mans is also a Blow thru oil boiler so not a direct comparison You also need to ride a DrawThru to appreciate the adrenalin rush when it boosts is unlike anything else
  9. Yes it was wrote by RevsHotClutch ......."if you know you know"
  10. If a single Hex socket don't work "which it should" Get a Nut welded to the spindle and then use a socket on that
  11. Yes Headstock is same as Blandit but wider at the swingarm pivot
  12. there's a faceache group Suzuki GSX 750 Inazuma GB i can email the German one if it helps
  13. is there an autojumble as well ?
  14. i have a a factory manual they pop up on ebag i also have a PDF of the German 1200 Zuma manual
  15. They are his 1st design as are the solenoids so possibly not available anymore....are they same as these ones ? ...as I only have the pair
  16. Personally and speaking as someone who is not a track day genius But it takes more skill to hustle a 600 round quick than it does a 180bhp thou .... I did a corporate track day "car" in 1lt Hotted up stripped out Fiesta on 5" wide wheels and control tyres it was an absolute hoot far more fun than anything else i drove that day
  17. Well the stock ones were #uc#ed and had them kicking about there 330mm eye to eye But Richard Hocking @gsxr884 can supply aftermarket ones at various lengths at good prices
  18. The 32s on a 1200 are different carbs to the 750 ones But as you say they do work
  19. Very Clean Just Needs a 1200 Lump and a Blower
  20. I'm assuming you had the plate laser or water jet cut ? If so who did you use ?

    Clutch woes

    With the cover off you should be able to see if the clutch is operating when you pull the lever in .... Did you soak the fibre plates in oil overnight before assembly
  22. Given your location "Norway" your bike is most likely fitted with the "restricted" lower power cams "as were most European models" so a simple upgrade would be a pair of full power stock cams or "D" marked cams as they are often referred to
  23. Is that one from Tomaz on Faceache ?
  24. you also need to consider if the matching front wheel etc will fit your front end
