I'm not in any rush, like the next 6-9 months realistically would be fine.

@Danm54Any chance you'll be doing any more of these? I could use 2 or 3 of them. Thanks

Just got the first batch of parts. Covers, studs, APE valve cover bolts, shift kit and temp gauge. Looking forward to this build.

Was trying to find the thread or remember who was making and selling the brackets to easily fit K series swing arms to slingshots. Tried searching, but couldn't find it.

Don't worry, I haven't forgotten.

I'll see if there's been any head work done to it when I get it, if not, that'll be high on the list of things to do. My stockish 750M already over heats worse than my naked 1100s in town. I'll start with an oversized cooler and I got a Yosh temp gauge that I'll hook up as well. If it over heats in town I just won't ride it in town on hot days. If it runs hot at speed I'll add a top end cooler. APE is currently out of some of their top end stuff, but Kibblewhite looks like they have parts in stock. Big valves, flowed head, HD springs, lumpy cams, and 41 carbs, anything else?

I'll be taking a long hard realistic look at a lot of my spares and figure out what I can get rid of to help off set this build, and just to make more room. I'm already assuming this is going to be my most expensive GSXR build to date, and upgrades on other bikes are just gonna have to wait. I need to finish two other builds before I can even think about starting on this one. Good motivation to finish some stuff, I hope.

I'm buying the engine, a few extra transmissions and a bunch of other spares for what I consider a really good price. No idea where I'm gonna put any of the parts yet, but I'll start a build thread for the engine when it shows up. Thinking that old hacked up 1100K frame that's tucked away in my basement might finally be coming out for this build. Funny how the best deals on parts always turn into the most expensive builds.

Good to know, thanks. He sent me more photos. It looks like it already has the fittings for a top end oil cooler, I'll just need to source the lines and cooler. Also have a top end oil if it needs it.

Oh shit, I hadn't even noticed that. They had mentioned different spacers for under the cylinder block, guessing that's how they're dealing with the dot head compression boost. I've got other heads that I can swap as well.

Search around on here, I think people might have been using Bandit ones, but can't remember. I know it's been brought in the past 6 months.

He told me the rings can get hardened by the extra heat and don't seal as well. He also told me that the crank wouldn't be able to handle the power and I know for a fact that there are plenty of people on this site riding boosted engines with stock cranks putting out more than 200 HP. Also just got a photo of the transmission. At this point I feel like as long as the shipping isn't more than the price of the engine and parts, I'm gonna go ahead and buy it and figure out what to do with it over the summer.

I've also been thinking about the durability of this engine being rode on the street. I've been told by a local guy that used to build GSXR engines that the 1340s will generate a lot of heat and will go through rings pretty fast. I'm assuming it would be the same with this. I am starting to think if the price is right on the whole engine, buy it, go through everything and see what's there, then put it on a shelf and later on send the cylinder block down to APE and get new pistons and sleeves for it in something a little more street friendly and lowering the compression down to something that doesn't require race gas. Really wish the guy that's selling the parts knew more about everything. Curious what people would consider to be on the top end of being a reliable street bike as far as engine size goes. I know I've seen a lot of 1340s from back in the Street Fighter magazine days, but who knows how much those actually got ridden. It gets hot enough where I live that I'd plan on doing a top end cooler no matter what.

Yeah, I'd forgotten he posted on here. He posted on another site here in the states that doesn't require a post minimum, and the site tends to suffer because of it.

Nope, already ordered one batch of parts that I’m waiting on. It was on another Suzuki site here in the states. I don’t trust marketplace for anything I can’t see in person.
