  1. Let's get back to work.

    After big winter depression it's time to go back in the shed and get some work done.

    Collected some bits an pieces for a new motor. GSXR lump, Bandit barrels bored out to fit Busa Gen 2 pistons, bandit head and cams. Lots of APE stuff a much work in cleaning an measuring.

    (Off-Topic O.o): Meanwhile I machined some swingarmextensions for a future slabby project.

    Next is to get the tank done. Machined an adapter to fit a pingle fuel tap.

  2. Would like to ask if somebody has experience with that.

    I know there are hd cam chain available from DID; RK and Tsubaki.

    What are the best? Research says that Tsubaki are good choice, but can't find any order codes for these ones to use in GSXR1100 oilcooled engine.

    I found one supplier here in Germany but from my point of view the price is too expensive.

    May be direct order at Tsubaki would safe money.

    Does anybody has some more information, or  experience with other hd cam chains?

     

    Thank in advance

  3. Yes, this one was little bit of pattern. :ph34r:

    Tried to use stick coils as Colin has done at his Gia framed Turbo Bandit, but I do not have enough space between motor and tank. The stick coils are to long. Maybe I can find shorter ones. DSC_4068-960x540.JPG.6f76c8e8b783aafc5c56f85209e5895b.JPG

  4. Yes, it's a nightmare. :(

    First rule: Keep all your bikes, where you got legalized any modifications.
    Second rule: note first rule

    By the way, my slabby has 3 pages vehicle papers. O.o Except the fuel tank there's everything modified. :D Everytime a pleasure to get into a police check.

    But I'm relaxed with this one, motor, turbo system, swingarm and wheels are street legal, the rest won't be any further issue.

  5. 25 minutes ago, Rene EFE said:

    Is it legal on the road in Germany? Looks good (y) 

    Yes it is, that's why I bought it and put my "not road legal" Turbo EF in pieces.

    In 1996 when my mate built it, it was easier to get Turbo systems road legal. Nowadays nearly no chance without really good connections. O.o

  6. Time to present the outcome of last months work. (y)

    Sold my unfinished EF Turbo in parts and traded in this Kawasuki that a good mate built years ago.

    I know this is not the favored frame for you OSS guys, but it’s the right motor.

    Bike was lurking around as decoration in a living room for the last 4 years before I got it, so it was time to bring it back on the street.

    At first glance it seemed to be not much work, BUT at a second glance more than I supposed.

    Only had a short rollout when buying, so I didn’t noticed the bad suspension system.

    While trying to sort out leaking fork and bad linkage of the swingarm I decided to rework the whole bike and change the complete style. I wasn’t happy about how all the mods had been done to the whole bike, so it was

    Things that should be changed:

    • suspension of the single sided swingarm, eliminate the Ducati linkage

    • swap the fork, front wheel, yokes and brakes

    • swap the fuel tank (love those Z1R fuel tanks)

    • swap the seat unit and building a complete new subframe

    • swap handlebar, brake pump, clutch pump

    • spend a new wiring loom

    • do some work on the exhaust system and swap the exhaust can

    • change the Milwaukee style forcewinder against oldschool lookin’ K&N air filter

    Took some time to get all the parts together, meanwhile I nearly finished all the things and I hope to have a first roll out the next weeks.

    A short tech spec:

    • Ka*a* Z1000ST frame and Z1R fuel tank

    • Ducati 1098 single sided swigarm

    • Ducati 1098 rear wheel widened to 7,5x17

    • Wilbers shock for direct linkage

    • Hayabusa frontend with billet yokes

    • Ka*a* KZ250 seat unit with selfmade seat cushion

    • Yoshimura tri oval exhaust can

    • GSXR 1100 motor with draw thru turbo

    • Garrett turbo charger and Mikuni carb

    • Dyna 2000 ECU

     

    Here are some pics of the things that are done.

    Linkage and shock:

    New oil cooler lines for the head cooler, new air filter and first attempt of exhaust, but
    I’m not sure if I’m happy with the position of the exhaust:

    That's all for today. I hope not to break the rules presenting a Kwakisaki frame :$

    Next step is to finish the tank and sort out the wiring.

    After that it's time to fire it up. B|

  7. Hi there,

    anybody heard about a GSXR 1100 GV73C from 1990 with a screwed shock mount?

    I always was of the opinion that only the 750 oilboiler frames have such shock mounts. O.o

    Found this frame on german eblag, Type plate and papers says GV73, but never saw such a frame with this kind of shock mount.

    Does anybody have additional info?
