Did you see Brian McCalls gs1000 race bike when you visited? It's got no starter clutch just a case to cover the end of the crank which he can touch the deck with on the loop at Donington. I was quite impressed.

What a beautiful thing, picked it up today from Ian Davis of ETTO Motorcycles.

Just slot the backing plate.

So what's all fuss about these M unit's ?

Ohlins Shock is for an 1100 slabby and is to long . Pressed the bearings out of the sea saw things cleaned them up then warmed them up and pressed a big socket through them to push the disfigured lip back which it did then promptly snapped of. But there is still a lip on the edge to seat the bearings on each one, happy dayz also made a new spacer to take the place of the missing one. Picture of red framed one is how from what was described to me by the previous owner is how the arm looked origanly. I have sourced another Spondon arm that I'm planning on using with this.

There appears to be some bodgery gone on hear on the sea saw top thingy. A spacer is completely missing and the bearings have been pushed out 9mm in total which has resulted in contact between the 2 arms and the frame. Presumably to fit the wide yam shock. Quite amazing the suspension worked at all like this. Did I mention I have a Ohlins Shock for this .

Yes like one os my other Spondon arms.

Bearings are good but might replace them anyway as the big one's will have to be removed when the arm is powder coated.

Wide indeed it is, it's been chopped from original and I plan on chopping it again to something more like in this picture. Am really looking forward to flying around on this but it'll be a while yet .

Though I best take the swingarm arm out for a look see, hade to make a slide hammer up to get the 2 swinging arm bolts out. A very interesting bearing arrangement in there.

Fair enough, there is a gsxr750 turbo that does very well at the salt flats.

Turbo is the best upgrade any Suzuki can have

I use a semi synthetic oil with no issues.

Coolio

Mick did say he'd had it made but not by who, it was in Daves living room last time I saw it

Definitely a mag 1 seat unit. Mag 1 and 2 frames are nearly the same the variations on frames generally depended on engine fitment. O and battery fitment.

This is the chromoly one.

Hello, what a great tribute for your dad. We like pictures though.

Only 1 oil pump in all the gsxr and B12 motors I've had in bits.

Your always welcome at Chicken Central bud.

When I thought about it when building the oil feed up for up the studs all squirts through that tiny little jets at the bottom anyway.

Plenty of meat on them.

Great forks those I have a set in my slabby.

Aluminium Talon ones on my bikes.
