I think you are confusing this GS head with a GSX one - all head nuts on GS head are external, so just need steel / copper washers.
ahh, sorry, i just assumed gsx, my bad, carry on, nothing to see here..........

Some Katana SD models had a 16 inch front wheel which had a fat tyre on it which may be close to the size of an 18 in her with a lower profile tyre. The 400 katana had an 18 inch front wheel.

Is it that o ring that's leaking? Plenty of oil leaks on heads are due to the o rings on the centre cylinders head nuts.

I wonder if the brake plate from the spoked wheel two stroke models are compatible, there were a lot of gt's in breakers!

Check that the two dogs on the oil pump gear behind the basket are engaging correctly in their slots in the back of the clutch basket. If they're not, the basket will be spaced wrong and the clutch won't disengage.

Does indeed - and that would be the logical way to do it - a press together crank makes the bottom end 'easy' whilst the head gets the 'cut and shut' mods with split cams etc. Although clever and no doubt well executed, none of them address the issue that *onda designed out - hanging the rotor / alternator / ignition off the end of the crank making a wide engine even wider - the CBX was little wider than a GS1000 where it mattered! Bearing in mind how easy it is to deck GSX engine cases when racing, these must be getting close in spirited road use? Looks like an external elec. oil pump is included - not a bad idea with an AC bottom end !
alternatively, if you used a set of 750 aircooled cases, theyre a shell crank motor so you could use a stretched oilcooled crank as 750 aircooled cases are everywhere propping shed doors open and stopping canal barges from drifting away.....

Good catch
it struck me as the sort of thing that might be used if you blew a motor and told them and theyd say 'ahh well you see, youre over revving them' which seems odd for a performance part built for tuned motors. and the gsxr w revs to 12k...
but that might just be my natural cynicism....-

Undoubtedly times and technology have improved, but I unless there's some test data about frame flex it's going to be impossible to say if it's just the tyres (for example) or a combination. It's also worth noting that the top times at the classic TT are not on 40 year old frames. To name one as an example Michael Dunlop's XR69 shares bugger all with an original.
So I would suggest that if your starting point is a 40 year old frame of the original diameter and tube thickness then the stuff Pops did is of more direct relevance than a special framed bike built over 40 years later.
also,dunlops xr69 is running a slingshot gsxr or bandit 1200 motor so not even aircooled.

try looking for an import 400 impulse mk 2 swingarm, theyre quite a chunky aluminium twin shock arm, look pretty trick too.

As a mere observer of the world of boosted engines, am I right in assuming also that the carb breather and float chamber need to be vented to the boosted pressure rather than just to atmosphere?

these are the engine bars ive got, theyre under a tarp at the bottom of my garden at the mo still in situ.

i suppose i should add that ive run sidecar outfits for over 30 years, our family transport for years were sidecars and we took our kids all over europe in various sidecars so getting another is more a bit of nostalgia for me rather than a leap into the unknown....

a side car johnr thats interesting
grandchild necesitates some lateral thinking. original plan was to fit one to a katana but i cant bring myself to use one of my kat frames for an outfit, so im going for an et and then will later fit the kat bodywork to it. the sidecar is a saluki siderider which is an 80's chair and if you google it, youll understand why its perfect for a kat!!!!

does the 550 have its lifter on the sprocket side of the engine? have you checked this mechanism?

1100 is 8 valves heavier......

where in the uk are you? ive got a set on an et that i dont need as its going to be pulling a sidecar so isnt likely to ever fall over! im in lancs btw, near blackpool.

twin shock kat 750 mounts are the same as the kat 1000/1100 too so you wont be short of choice!

Did you clean out the fuel tank whilst you were at it? Don't assume a fuel filter will help, the fine dust from a rusty tank will go right through most petrol filters.

did you remove the emulsion tubes when you cleaned the carbs?

400 katana, but its a 17 rear and an 18 front. exactly the same spoke pattern as the gs/gsx/kat wheels but wider and tubeless. also the 400 carries whopping floating disks on the front.

ive an 1170 yoshi kitted motor where the rod and piston from number 2 pot did that but instead of dropping down it just popped out of the front of the crankcases!
