Morning ladies and gentleman
anyone got a manual with the GSXR 1100 shim head valve clearances in it please,
Cheers Fatbloke

You can get 25 mm back with this, so the K1/2 would be about 735/740 mm and that’s ok I’ve had several bandits with 740 mm forks..
obvioulsy you need to add a spacer to the top bit so the clamp has something to grip so it doesn’t strain the top part,,
-
K1/2 are way too short, 710/715 mm instead of 775mm as B12 standard, i fitted a set of K1 ones years ago and smashed the mudguard into the oil cooler when I braked really hard...
slingshot the easiest like Tony said, but difficult to find now...
Heres the chaep way to make a stepped yoke, weld 2 top ones togtehr, worked fine for years until I had a posh ( expensive ) one made..

You looked to be going well enough to me mate. Really enjoyed the day myself (except the chicanes)!

This was in my group and the noise it made when it shot off was epic
i like good brakes..............

Camshafts and cylinder heads, depends how much power you want and how much money you have
GSXR 750j/k cams drop in and give a good boost of power with a race can and decent air filter, if you can find them

They weren't restricted as such, that's all they were designed to make, 98HP, some of the European ones were restricted to 80 HP..
BUT its very very easy to up the HP, using GSXR parts.

It is indeed, but I think there might be a lot of old duffers out there on Saturday

Always had a larf when following a mate on his Mag 4 - he ain't willowy, 6'3" and looked like a Frog taking a Dump! all crouched down and legs akimbo! His accident damaged knees eventually stopped him riding 'sport bikes' about 10 yrs ago! I can't anymore due to weight on my accident damaged arm and wrists - Renthal MX bars only.
Past accident damage AND getting old, sucks!
Yes my Mag 2 was the same, I built it so it looked, in my opinion, right. BUT the seat was too low and pegs too high, i could only manage about 20 minute
It was one of the reasons I sold it..
I haven't been able to use clip-ons for donkeys years, even when I raced my TL1000, 20 years ago, I had to put high bars on it, which also made it much more fun
Gratuitous TL pictures as its a quiet bank holiday
I must apologise for the leathers , they were very cheap

Same for me mate. It doesn’t help being a big lad either
Oi, you calling me fat!!!!!!!!!!
But yes its a pain for us normal sized chaps, my legs are too long and my arse tooo large.
these special framed things are all built for children sized people, my magnum was the same
You coming to Coombe this year Fletch??
-
So Brian is ready for his first outing since September last year, Castle Coombe again, Classic bike track day, I'm in the VMCC group
don't know if that's the bike or me!!!!!Anyway, stopped all the electricity escaping buy fitting new earth connector and all it well, apart from my hips, its so uncomfortable for my dodgy hip bone, only did 5 miles and it was agony
had a look at raising the seat or lowering the Starboard side foot peg, but I don't think I can, and keep it looking half decent.!!
Im just a bit worried that i wont be able to ride the Bleedin' thing due to my hip! Getting old is shite!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its ages since i did a B6/12 conversion, and cant remember if i used the B6 CDI as it came with the loom or the 1200 didn't physically fit, I just fitted the lot and it all plugged together.. Best buy a 600 loom with CDI attached, or just get the 600 loom and try the 1200 cdi, if the plugs fit it will work
-
You can use a B600 loom and cdi, it all plugs together, the only difference is the red line, it’s higher on the 600….

Would have been better off with a canoe than a motorbike,,!!!
once the rain soaked through to my pants I gave up and went home,oh well can’t do anything about the weather……. Bandit went well as we all tip toed round,
now I need to get Brian sorted for the 15 as I’m doing classic bike one at Combe…..
found a dodgey earth plug which is where the leccy is escaping
