  1. Being a cheapskate ive done things the least expensive way, ive done 2 b12's with 750 Dot heads and cams, race cans and pod filters  and both gave 135ish rwhp and rev like a bastard compared to the standard 1200. cheap as chips as I got a complete gsxr  750 k engine with shagged gearbox for £50:)

     

    But My heron B12 has 1216 J and E high comp pistonks, Mr uppertons head, Kent cams, full Akropovic system and 36mm mukkey roonies all set up and did 149.5 rwhp last time on the dyno, has been totally reliable fro the last 5 years. And the clutch is fine, when I raced my1200  years ago I had a EBC race clutch that lasted 3 laps of practice and full Barnett race one that actually lasted one meeting!!!!  On the advice of someon on here who drag raced one,   I fitted genuine Suzuki steels and fibers with one barmett H/D spring and its been in there ever since, I had it out 3 years ago to measure it all and it was spot on..............:tu

  2. Here you go , I stupidly bought a set ( Eb*y whilst drunk didn't read it right) ages ago and as you can see they don't fit, I did try every configuration of rubbers.. Apparently the trick was to fit 2 of the oil cooled rubbers upside down, Buggered if I could make it work. tried them all ever which way and couldn't make them work, so reverted to oil colled carbs:(:(

  3. If you have a bandit stem in a slingy USD bottom yoke its worth shed loads, ive seen them go for £75 or more... Not on here obviously :) but on a certain auction site we aren't supposed to mention,

     

    as to machining the stem its not difficult, as long as you can cut the threads well, as they are very  fine. But much more cost effective to sell the bandit stem;)

  4. Yes the b12 is tooo long but don't wreck it by machining it , get a slingy one and press it in, the b12 ones are always easy to flog due to people doing the swop the other way and fitting slingy forks to bandits, i had a slingy stem until a few weeks ago and gave it to someone on here,, much easier to find than good b12 stems..

     

     

    heres one i did earlier, slingy stem on the left bandit 1200 on the right:tu

  5. Right after ignoring it for a few weeks I bought a load of London pride and spent until 1 am last night getting it back together, luckily I dint get it in upside down or anything daft:D

     

    I'm getting quite adept at fitting the engine on my own now;)

     

    But I must complain about Yoshimura build quality!!! ive only had my coffee mug for 6 years and the handles fell off:/
