  1. If oilcooled; basically the same. Mk2 frame is even uglier than Mk1 although this is personal opinion. Both are good sources of parts for cool bikes, this is fact.

    Haha. I spent a couple of days researching the anodising process and went round tescos looking for tubs and stuff. The dangerous acids were bought from Amazon. Dyes came from Eblag. The lot set me back about 200 quid including the power pack. It's been put to good use though. Worth every penny. It's great to be able to make something in the garage and then take it out to the workshop and anodise it. Very enjoyable to do. 

    Any pointers on where you found the info on the process?

  3. I too have seen it on Fb but all here at once is a bit overwhelming. More people should take builds this seriously, F* me :pimp:

    How do you go about the anodising? Is it something you've done before, found a how-to on the interwebz, or are you just too handy for your own good?

  5. We're no facebook, so don't have the means, nor the room to host everything ourselves. Emojies don't work in any HTML-based platform, maybe in the future.
    There's ways to post pics that are easy if you know how :)

    With the current cockup at Photobucket and a possible bug in the latest Forum build, we'll just have to wait and see when out softwarebuilders will have it fixxed. In the mean time, the admins and mods will try to fix broken links where they see them.

  6. It's not that I have problems fitting the carbs to the rubbers; I've got my tricks. It's about the fitment of the rubbers to the head. I'd like very much if the step wouldn't be there, but can;t seem to find a set which would give me this and fit the flatslides.

  7. Building up a GSXR750L with Mikuni 34mm flatslides. I've tried a number of combinations, and the one that gets closest to fitting is teapot 750-rubbers. However, this gives quite a big step between the head and the rubbers; are there different ones that would give the right fitment?

    Original L rubbers are too big, 750K rubbers (36cv's) give the wrong spacing, strangely. 

  8. '88 750. Engine will fit fine and clearanceissues should be taken care off by the aformentioned flatslides. The 88/89 frame is the smallest, lightest and arguably the most extreme Slingshot frame. The later ones were all more civilised so no point in using them imho :)
