  1. As said, if you're on a cable clutch now use a mk2 B6 cover and make sure you get the speedo rotor too, they're common to loads of Suzuki's so they can be picked up for very little money

  2. If it's Suzuki Framed, Engine'd or based and it fits within the OSS ethos then its welcome on the show stands as far as I'm concerned. Theres places for the shiny trailer queens, the scabby rats, barn find project, incomplete projects or even bare frames. If something draws people to the stand and strikes up conversation then its done its job IMO

  3. 1200 bandit front end should slot in with a stem and bearing change. LOTS of people have done this so lots of knowledge around. Then either a 600 bandit back wheel in your stock arm or buy a complete 1200 bandit swingarm/wheel/etc; contact Grumpy1260 OR any of the machining gurus on here and get top hat spacers to make the arm fit correctly and then find someone to weld the shock mounts onto the arm

  4. If you can get a 100ohm resistor, wire that inline with the CDI earth to the battery -ve.

    Or open up the back of the ign barrel and you'll see the resistor in there. Its possible you have a dry solder joint.

    After all the other things you've done this is about the only thing that would cause no spark that I can think of anyway. Theyre pretty simple beasts

    I haven't bypassed the ignition barrel yet, I've only checked to make sure I have continuity on the 3 circuits.

    I went back and checked the signal generator for voltage, I get the correct ohms on both on them but with both signal generators I only get 1v or 2v when checking the blue and yellow wire?

    Your CDI needs to momentarily see a 100ohm resistance to earth when the CDI sees 12v. This is done through a resistor in the ignition barrel usually. If you have an aftermarket barrel or have bypassed it then the bike will spin over all day and never spark.

    So, is it running the standard ignition?

  6. You can make almost anything fit with top hat spacers. There can be a LOT of faffing to make them work correctly though. The slabby linkage would have to be swapped out and you would need to spend time working out your rising rates etc.

    Look at the build threads on here though, lots have done it. @clivegto has done on his scratcher albeit a 750's, @Leblowskiswapped  a different swingarm into a 750, I'm fitting a slingshot arm in my 750 and @GeorgeEI7KOhas a B12 arm in his. So its well do-able

    Apologies for getting some of the colours wrong - i'm used to 1100's LOL!

    I think you’re right to be fair, Microsoft paint doesn’t let me do tracer colours without loads of faffing!
