Yup....

you have to use the bandit cqm wheels as the cam chains are of a differant type, and some people recomend slotting the sprockets and dialing them in, if you have the expertise and equipment then it is probably best, but i didnt know any better when i did it the first time 10 years ago, so i slapped them in and fired it up and it went like a rocket

Best bang for your buck on a b12 engine is to stick the head and cams from a gsxr750 J/K as this bolts straight on and ups comp ratio and has better cams, Ive done it twice to 1200 engines and had over 130 rwhp both times, and the things rev much better, you do lose mid range though..... or just the cams should see you over 120 rwhp..

Anyway with a bit of jiggery pokery it looks like I will be able to retain the b12 wheel speedo drive and discs, needs some serious spacer making and a bit of machining to the drive , but should be Ok..

keeping them until I'm 100% sure the new stuff is all OK, I'm not sure though, as over the years they have cost a bleedin' fortune, they are 750 L forks re worked and revalved by Linderman engineering with R1 gold spot callipers, they are really very good, but the new ones are much shineyer

Serioulsy loosing the plot with this, no time to do it, no time for anything at the moment, might have to sell it??? let someone else sort it and actually use it, 500 miles in 3 years

They are 2015 hayabusa one 50x55mm diameters, shiney as fek

Yes

Not sure yet matey, I need to do a shed load of measuring and comparing stuff before they will go on, or I hope they will go on

This.............

Postman pats just been and delivered 2 big boxes full of shiney stuff, and its not even Christmas... Brembo Monoblocs...... I fell a plan taking shape..............................................

both of the b12 with dot head I built, I used b12 plugs JR9B.........

the part numbers for the mark 1 and 2 head gaskets are differant but ive used a mark 1 head on a mark 2 engine with no problems so should be fine

4 foot 6, or 1371mm in French, should be deep enough to get rid of the bloody thing

in 2000/2001 when the mark 2 came out they had modified pistons to improve the oil cooling. in some bikes the consumption was deemed excesive, so there was a mod to the pistons, the later ones after vin 22102179, were fited with differant pistons, the older ones ars no longer available

Flippin' motorbikes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this looks like a good spot.................................

So after a days ignoring it and hoping it will fix itself when I'm not looking, I fired it up again, and yes its still smoking........Arse...... so time to pull the whole fekin thing apart again and refit the bog standard b12 engine. I'm sure the engines in this harris are jinxed. I'm just off to find a wall to bang my head against

Or is it a b12 cover as they have a rubber chain slider bolted underneath the breather box which the 1100's don't have which would make it sit proud

Well I finally got it all back together and fired up today, and fek my old boots, its still smoking!!! Not much at all now, but still more than it should. Bastard thing, this will teach me never to ignore my own advice and not do things on the cheap.... Bugger,,, I might just throw the whole thing in the canal and buy a jetski So what to do now, refit the standard b12 engine, spend a pile of cash on new 81mm pistons and rings or stick the flowed head on the b12 engine and see what that dose. fekin' motorbikes!!! I'm grumpy now and going to the pub............................................

That was lucky it was the starter gears, my red race bike did that at Donnington, going under the Dunlop bridge in a sound of thunder race in 2005, as I changed down from 6th to 5th there was a big bang and the rear wheel locked solid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! huge skid marks, in me pants and on the track, turned out one of the engagement dogs fell off of the back of 5th gear and got jammed... cost a fortune to fix and that was using second hand gearbox bits!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I do like TL's, thats why I bought the orange one ( my 3rd) , it was a Eblag late night come home from pub just have one bid to see what the reserve is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I won!!! it wasent bad but lots of bits missing non running project... poor bloke had just had it painted then got made redundant so had to flog it half done... Tried to sell it once it was running but couldn't flog it so swopped it for a bandit 1200 and sold that

how tall is he???

don't forgat slingy fronts are the same as b12 ones, the 17 inchers anyway, spindles and speedo drives as well, and discs are 2mm different offset??

neither fit straight in, but I did a post a while ago about making spacers to fit a b12 into srad 750 forks which fit the same

spindle size, 17mm instead of 20, early ones are 3 inch later 3.5.... 1200's 3.5... not sure about the hub width, cant remember............

No
