    Im pretty sure k1 750 usd's are the same length. I ran them in my race bike with the back end jacked up a fair way too. 

    Did you use the original clipons with this setup? I think if we had highers bars on our bike, it would've been fine; it handled great, I just didn't physically fit  :) 

  2. I tried a K-something 600 frontend on @Jelly's Slingy; it was WAY too short (and that's in a 750 frame). I'm quite happy to sit on a bike with a mildly aggresive seatingposition, but this felt like I was going over the front all the time. Looked good though :pimp:

    Reason to keep the origial engine is I'll have a really hard time getting a 7/11 build legal over here (Norway) and it would be even worse to get it insured.

    Just don't tell? That's how we do it over here.

    You can use your cylinder head on the big capacity engines for a power boost.

    Make sure your engine is a 748 though (the elusive Dothead); the year is right for it but the clutchcover is not.

  5. I'll dig mine out tomorrow (if ot stays dry) and do the same.

    Can you make a pic of the shocklinkage side-on? The harsh ride could mean geometry on the rear is wrong, as you stated. I think I know what it will look like, but need a picture of it to be sure.

    This is how mine sits; swingarm is now slightly further away because of 5mm longer dogbones but the angle of the linkage is the same. The flatter it sits, the more it will stiffen up, upto a point where it goes solid.

    for handling on the efe simplest way to make a stab is to ensure the lower frame rail is level. The bandit fronts are usual long enough so best solution may be to lower the rear.

    Mark

    I've got a 750 usd in my aircooled one so I can't believe the Bandit forks would be too short. 

  7. Welcome, bikes looks very good (y)

    Reading the first post strikes me as very interesting because I've got pretty much the same setup (albeit oilcooled motor) and it's VERY good in the turns.

    If I was you, I'd measure the angle of the swingarm as it does seem a bit steep and compare this to others. Longer dogbones should suss out a great deal of the problem.

    The forks should easily be up to the job as a Bandit and an unfaired EFE are relatively the same weight. Your exhaust does seem a tad low though, which doesn't help.

  8. Not tried it, but I can't really think of a reason why it shouldn't fit; I had an EFE Propipe on a Slingshot and that went straight on. With the flat sump of the aircooled motor, it should be even easier the other way around.

    Welcome, we like pictures (y)
