Can anyone help? I am trying to find the part number of the "teardrop" style front turn signals shown on some RGV250 models to use on a custom bike. All the listings I can find only show the "stalk" style signals. Can't order them with no part #! Help!

Anyone know of an EBC front disc of 310mm that has the same bolt pattern as the '83 Katana front wheel?

I remember a few years ago there was a link to someone who was making a tail rack for EFE's/GS1150s that mounted over the taillight. I think it used the saame mounts that hold the passenger handhold. Anyone have a source for same?
-
No, and that could be the magic, thanks.

I have a US-spec Katana 1100 fuel tank which is internally pretty clean but has "alligatoring" on the tank stripes. Does anyone have access to Suzuki part #68110-49300-75G, thetank stripe set, who is wiiling to part with it/them?

I'm gonna get burned for this but . . . . . . . just park the Dino and buy a Watercooled Commuter bike that won't complain, handle the traffic and it saves the 1150 for spirited weekend enjoyment! Or move somewhere else LOL!
My TL-R gets hot enough to overheat your left leg to eating temp, so that's not the thing. Wait: you said "commuter bike". Then again, that IS my "commuter bike".

So all replies prettty much "Works but no impovement in performance"?

I've been offered a complete Dynatek ignition system for my GS1150. The whole setup includes the system, Taylor wires, coils. But is it any better or any measurable improvement over the stock system? Does anyone here have experience with this setup on the street?

Is there a thread on installing a cylinder head cooler on oil-cooled GSXR's? Or one on EFE's?
-
I have read through this thread and am pretty sure I understand the reason for the mod. I have a fairly-low mileage '86 GSXR1100 and I have always run a voltmeter. What warning signs should I be aware of regarding this failure of the charging system?
-
As it turns out, in my earlier life, I actually had BOUGHT A SPARE IGNITER. Not only that, but it turned out my old one wasn't faulty either, so I still have a spare.
-
Thanks to the folk who responded with actual info as opposed to those who (1) thought this was a joke or (2) tried to make this about them. I think I'll go with a bigger cooler, a top-end oiler since there's no practical room for a fan, which is the optimal solution. I had considered putting on an '86 GSXR cooler, actually.
-
So all those drag race motors with the three-way setup are wrong? Wow, did not see that coming!

While I thank my UK brethren for their testimony, I am in the Greater New York City area, one of the ten most heavy-traffic areas in the world, and we have summers here where the air temp is 90 Fahrenheit+. I got caught in traffic that could not be avoided and the 1150 got so hot it didn't want to shift out of 1st gear. Once I got free of that, it was OK, but traffic here is not going to get lighter. In fact, the ride I was on used to take 45 minutes with no traffic now takes one hour and the outgoing leg used to be 55 minutes and now is between one hour 30 minutes and two hours. So (1) there's no room for a fan (2) traffic won't be getting lighter and (3) it has gotten heavier all around me. But I am thinking about that larger cooler that GSSX1100dreamn had mounted - what was that? PS: my 1150 even has the "high speed" oil pump gears fitted...

I am thinking about installing a larger oil cooler on my '85 1150. There's more traffic than ever in my area, and I don't want high temps to be a harm to Big Red. Anyone have experience (1) using a larger OEM Suzuki cooler or (2, and not my choice) using an accessory cooler? I was originally going to try an '86 GSXR cooler, but it ended up being used, of all things, on my GSXR. Any advice would be appreciated.
Just as a note, not looking for riding instructions ("just don't ride it on hot days"), etc. Thanks!

Slayer, excellent, thanks.

Thanks to all. I have been trying to source a nice lightweight set of wheels for Big Red - wish I'd bought the PM Chicanes way back when like I did for my TL100R.
-
Really very nicely explained except for one thing: what's the reason for doing it?
-
What are the standard wheel sizes on the 1150? I had heard they were WM 3.5 and WM 4. True?
-
Been away during the plague. Turns out back in the 90s I had actually bought (at a discount) a spare igniter. And even better, the one on the bike wasn't bad after all. So now I have Big Red running AND I have a spare igniter. Sometimes things (including bad memory) work out...

CockneyRick, been offline a while during the plague. Did you find that you have a set of those gears?
-
Gixer1460, many thanks. Anyone else got a response?
-
Anyone know a source for a set of NEW 'high speed" oil pump gears, a/k/a part #16331-45000 and 45002?

Thanks so much for this - I'll start searching, but MUCH easier with the part #s!
