  1. Sorry to hijack the thread but i too am planning on fitting a set of RS34's. I have a head from a 81 GS1000G so it has the bigger inlet ports but what inlet rubbers do i need to get for the RS34's? Is it standard GS1000 rubbers or from something different? TIA
  2. not much to be honest. yes it is lighter but i doubt i will notice any difference with that. it is a far better caliper than the old gsxr caliper so the brake performance will be better, plus i think it looks much better, in myy opinion anyway.
  3. ok, so an update on the rear caliper.I gave up trying to find a better underslung caliper so decided to go with a top mounted version, but lighter and better. After much research and investigation i opted for a 2006 H*nda CBR600 rear caliper. Modified the hanger bracket to fit the slot in the swingarm and made a couple of spacers for the axle and hey presto, looks better, (i think), lighter than the other one and feels much better, although i havent ridden it yet. Smaller 220mm disc also sheds a few grams.
  4. Its not there just for sound deadening, its also there to absorb the impact should your chain, and or front sprocket decides to break and try and smash its way through the cover. A snapped chain will potentially smash a big hole in the crankcase.
  5. Yes very much like that, but i want to keep it underslung at the bottom of the disc, rather than on top.
  6. I was kinda hoping i could get a 2 piston Brembo caliper to match the P4's i have on the front.
  7. Thanks for the info Wraith. my caliper does not have the torque arm, the bracket fits in a slot in the swingarm. i want to keep it underslung as it is. I suppose i could always just machine off the lug on the caliper for the torque arm. I will have to measure the diameter of the disc, i cant remember what it is offhand.
  8. I want to replace the rear caliper on my GS1000 with a smaller, lighter caliper. It has a GSXR1100W caliper and bracket on there at the moment. Was wondering if anyone knows of a direct replacement, either suzuki or otherwise that is smaller and lighter than the stock item? TIA.
  9. 3 bolts holding the starter clutch to the starter gear, they work loose. you have to pull it off to check it
  10. what else are you doing to beef up the motor? crank and clutch will need beefing up at least, running 740cc on a stock 550 crank is not adviseable.
  11. i dont! got caught in a light shower once, apart from that washing the bike is the only water it gets...... lol
