IceKat! You just sucked all the life out of my mildly fun life! Bike already is turbo.

Just wondering if there's anything you guys have tried to shave weight? I have already shaved parts of the frame, (steering stops, foot peg mounts, brackets, etc.) And removed unused parts of the fairing bracket like the turn signal mounts. Also stripped wire harness of unused wires, using modern gsxr rims and forks, bars. Not comfortable with removing the top frame brace or kickstand and mount. Was thinking more about the generator and starter to start with. Is there any other models (like a bandit 600) that is compatible? Sprocket cover ,Valve cover, or other bolt on things? What are road race guys doing? It is drag bike, but I would like to keep a headlight and taillight. I have heard about using a 750 starter clutch but not sure. And using a 93-95 zx7 headlight. Is it worth getting frame modified to accept a different subframe?

As long as we are on the subject, does a Bandit 1200 generator fit/ gears mesh on to an 1127?

Thanks Moose, but so far, I haven't had any issues to justify the added weight and even more plumbing!

I wish I had your problems.

thanks guys - lots of good info.

Would you have to rejet the carb? And I see the room it takes up and added weight. Good point. Very clean bike no class!

Curious if anyone has a water - water/alcohol injection setup. Have always seen them available bet never saw one in action. Water only or 50/50 alcohol mix? Very pricey for the setup. I know nitrous guys are big with them, any advantage over timing retard? Can you keep more timing and spray the water for more power? Pictures are very welcome!

Also make sure of wrist pin sizes first.

Some guys get away with stock rods ups to 300hp (not recommended ) Then they will use water-cooled rods or gen 1 Busa rods, but if its track only , get Carillos - very strong for anything over 250 hp and worth the price, which is bullshit since you can get 8 rods for a chevy for less. I think Crower still makes oil cooled rods to. Have not had good luck with Falicon rods. Worry more about doing a rocker head conversion.

1990/91 Gsxr 750 or whatever year Gsxr 1100 came with 40 mm carbs. I think 90/91 also.

Genius! Wondering if that could of been a problem for me when using a thick copper gasket. Does it take less oil/lubrication when it is shim under bucket compared to rocker head?

Any benefit to using a bandit 1200 oil pump since they are now high/high pressure compared to high/low Gsxr? Will it help oil cooling? And is it even compatible ?

Next time I go to my storage unit I will take pictures of the $600 billet web cams that got destroyed because I didn't think I needed it before either. Theories are interesting, but I have never seen anyone install then remove a top end oiler kit because it failed or damaged the cams/head.

Hayabusa shock bolts in also and works especially well on stretched 1100w's , but touches the battery box.

My bike without them = squeaky cams. But only needed with aftermarket studs and overbore where it cuts into oil passage on the cases.

Thanks say what now!?! Wish I had one to try out. Lol! the second pic is using a fan belt.

Does anyone have a picture of the engine cover/belt drive setup?

OMG! I used to dream about getting my hands on one of those! Sadly Sims and Rohm went out of business before I ever had enough money for one. There was another shop in West Virginia I think that was developing one and then the guy passed.

The extra upper and tank with it is worth a mint.

Cool. As long as there's no damage from it or I don't have to change plugs every weekend.

No, just the boss had one laying around and was wondering if it was something I could of used.

I also get a lot of popping/gurgling on decel after a run like its still dumping a lot of fuel. Any ideas? Dyno guy didn't seem too concerned.

Arttu, I would have to check with my dyno guy for sure but I think it was seeing a misfire above 10k rpm.

I know whatever pivot knuckle you use will have to be cut down from 2 needle bearings to 1 to fit stock frame mount. The pic is one off of a 89-92 Gsxr which had 2.
