Oooooooh - playing in CompBike, like it! They are a good crowd in there - It used to be like Clampett Land in the pits as no one had any money! Enjoy!

I only guessed that as I used a GS sprocket cover on my EFE drag motor and all but one bolt lined up so had plenty !

LOL! Then it could be a GS cover !

Std nuts are about 12mm total thread length and can take about 25% over torque - the extra length with APE nuts can't clamp much more although with their studs the threads are less likely to pull. The extra length caters for block with spacer plates for stroke increases. Before APE nuts were commonly available ...... these suzuki items were usually used - #12!

Wouldn't GS1100X denote a GSX cover not a GS one? I wonder if someone swapped in a later GSX 1100 ign. system inc. ecu after a tumble damaged the GS parts - could have different ign. timing - that's my only guess?

Now, this is the King H'Box and it is proper!............. for any of our younger viewers LOL! Don't you just love the protective racing attire - who did it? - Jeans, trainers and that was it .... Me for one!

I'd say yes - use them. With GSXR's there are copper washers fitted (obviously for some peculiar reason!) which the APE nuts can't substitute! + it stops the nuts galling on the seating within the head.

'kin hell - compared to your hand, that outlet flange is 'kin enormous! Sorry no idea on brand or model but looks like it'll need a fair bit of adaptation for bike use?

Try this ....... https://shopbhp.com/products/denso-pencil-stick-coil-on-plug-cop-connectors-cbr-gsxr-hayabusa-motorcycle?variant=25483609793 This where I was planning to get some from but not urgent for me. If you can't find actual plugs then possibly fit mini blade connectors to fly leads, fit on terminals and silicon into place and weatherproof - bit ghetto but would work, make up a whole sub loom for the COP's with one single plug 5 or 6 pin?

Can get them on the Bay of EEEEEE's - £10 - 12.00 for a set?

Old style Mini Exhaust Bobbins work for me - stud at each end and rubber joining them.

Could be Hazards then? Unlikely but possible?

Anti wheelie device LOL!

Re : Earlier question about the turbo - it could be a T2 or a T25, they also had 5 / 6 bolt outlet flanges - well my T2 did. Do you know the power output as my T2 had everything max'd out for flow and made 210rwhp max @ 10psi - wouldn't make any more but it was still internally gated so it probably didn't help.

Yeah - good call, or shite in the switch?

Put anything in the firing line of road shite and water and it'll fail - electrics moreso! It's an unnecessary complication that can be simplified with a fuse instead and easier to protect. They maybe not very expensive but when failed beside the road - that doesn't help!

Oil boilers do not have a reputation for low oil pressure and as most switches trigger at stupidly low pressure it is a sign of a problem ....... they usually have an excess of pressure and flow so have to bleed excess off. No oil changes and bodgy meckniks don't bode well i'm afraid! The best place to test is main galley plug on the RH side of the crankcase where a gauge could be fitted and get an accurate reading.

Anyone know what happened to Ian King's bike - I did ask him years ago but he said it went to fund racing and not sure of its whereabouts at that time? There are so many great specials that seem to have faded from existence - where are they all?

Make sure to use a fully weather protected one or at least get it out of the shite firing line - that's what does the 'clicky breakers' in

Had a look and it's no 'Box' - just a plain endurance special and a Yam at that! And feckin' expensive! I think my m8 picked his 'box up for 2 or 3 grand about 10 odd years ago.............oh the times are a changin!

Eggzackery!

That's what most of us have done or replace it with a 30A fuse and a spare!

Got a link? Wouldn't mind a gander! PM me if the nazis get shirty!

Ian's one was a work of art - so many bits that were just plain desirable! Re : HarriBox engines - I know of one built for water filled Kwak motors - a ZZR1100 currently is in residence........ it's a great fat porker of a bike though!

Can someone explain the last 5 or 6 posts to me cos it doesn't make any sense whatsoever! Unless you have a Hemi, pretty much every engine combustion chamber will extend to near the bore diameter in some direction whilst being inset in others - this is usually matched by the piston crown. Where the inset is placed, is where the most 'squish' effect occurs and is designed to induce a turbulent mixture and squeeze it toward the plug to be ignited. A 750 matches an 1100 chamber shape but shallower which increases the CR. Throwing an 1216 kit at an 1100 increases squish (as the head chamber profile hasn't changed so the piston has more 'real estate' to work against) Adding a DOT head may increase that effect a bit more.
