    I've "always" used the same dual K&N filters (RU-2922[set], RU-2920[single]) listed for the oilcooled GSX-R/GSX-F/Bandit on my Mikuni RS36 and 38 carbs. What flatties are you using?

    The intake OD on the RS36/38 is a bit smaller though than that of the CVs (55 vs. 60mm IIRC) but the rubber flange on the dual pods can be snugged up small enough to make it fit..

     

     

     

    I honestly thought the 5mm difference in the O/D would have been too much to be taken up by the rubber.

    Do they still give the same advice concerning registration and frame numbers??  O.o

    Couple years ago i was working with a bloke wanting to build one of there wormburnt chopper thingy, he rang and asked about SVA and making it legal and the advice was " Dont bother with all that, just copy the frame number from another bike and no one will know"  Yes I know a lot of people do that , bits its totally illegal and they really shouldn't be telling potential customers that:o:stop:

    I nearly bought a Turboed Bandit Savage HUC.  Very nice build, (in green)

    Image result for turbo savage huc

    But when I checked the reg number the docs still had it listed as a Bandit 1200 in black.

    Only takes one clued up copper to see its not a bandit, and then they impound it, and crush it. So long bike.

    Needles to say I didn't buy it.

  3. I have no room between the fork and the wheel for the drive.

    Iv found two units online that do this. But they are both designed for cars / trucks and are quite chunky.

    One is made by DakotaDigital and the other is available from Abbott-tach

    The idea is quite simple drive a short cable to the clocks via a 12v motor, and control the motor speed via the pulse from a magnetic pickup off the wheel etc.

  4. I have a conundrum,

    The wheel and fork arrangement that I am putting on my EFE will not give me enough room to fit a cable speedo drive. (I'm using GSXR K9 Forks and yolks with GSXR750 K5 Wheels.)

    I don't want to ditch the EFE clocks.

    Has anyone replaced the cable driven speedo with a digital replacement in the original control binnacle / clock surround ?

    OR

    Does anyone know of a digital / electronic to cable drive gizmo ?

    Thanks.

    Ive done 2 DOT heads onto b12 engines and used all the B12 stuff, plugs valve clearances and all, both worked a treat.B|

    Think that's what you told me Garry when I asked the same question on the old site. (or possibly the temp site)

    would you see an improvement with a teapot dot head a bandit 12 lump, or is it only the gsxr dot head any good

    Yes, But you will need to use 750 K or 1100 K cams to get the most out of it. Teapot cams are a softer profile.

  7. Must admit I wasn't a fan of the MAG II seat unit (side panels).

    Hatted having to poke my hand through the hole to get to the fuel taps. Especially trying to switch to reserve when on the move.

    That fairing bracket is a bit funky, not a Harris original I presume.
