    Multifunction gauges

    in Air Cooled

    Posted

    I'm getting tired of the same old multifunction gauges from Koso and the like.

    Has anyone been able to use a newer digital dash from a gsxr on an 80's air cooled bike. Specifically getting the tach and speedo to work?

    Thanks guys

    I'm sure this has been covered somewhere before but I am having no luck searching.

    I'm looking for a source for the adapters to run either 4-pot Nissin or 6-pot Tociko calipers

    Thanks in advance!

    Small world.  It's Mark from Ontario.  My GS1000 build has been stymied due to not being able to get parts but I believe my sprockets and shocks should be arriving this week.

    Well yes it is.

    I thought I'd start researching and collecting parts for another build during this shutdown.

     

    Hi Mark!

    I lost your contact information.

    Sorry to hear your project has stalled. let me know if I can help.

    Cheers,

    Katana build: gsxr wheel question

    in Air Cooled

    Posted

    Hi Guys!

    I have a 2004 gsxr rear wheel for this project. I need to move the sprocket inward towards the center line.  Is there another models sprocket carrier that would drop into this wheel and have the sprocket closer to the center line?

    I will post in the Water cooled section as well.

    Thank you

    Cam timing

    Yeah, I'm not easy on the throttle either.  Gas is relatively cheap here in Canada. lol

    I was thinking of closing up the centers a bit ( somewhere around 106/108) to create some overlap and take advantage of the carbs ability to breathe better.

    Hi Guys,

    I'm ready to adjust cam timing on my GSX1100.

    APE (Greg Cope) recommends 110 degrees both intake and exhaust.

    Anyone else have a different recommendation?

    The motor has oem pistons, Fresh valve seats, Mikuni RS36's and a Motogpwerks exhaust.

     

    Thanks

    I totally agree. I have decided to use the new OEM piston and rings with a degreed stock cam.

    I still need to get confirmed specs for deck height. Are the pistons supposed to be 0.40" in the hole at TDC, or flush to the top of the cylinder?

    Hi Guys.

    My 1100 Katana project is coming along nicely. I have a brand new set of OEM 72mm pistons and rings that I was going to install.

    I have come across a Wiseco 1166 kit at a very good price, and also a set of Yoshimura ST-1 cams!

    If I could only afford one, which should I choose?

     

    The bike is a street bike that will not see the drag strip. I currenly has Mikuni RS36 carbs and a Motogpwerks exhaust.

    Also, what is the correct deck height, and how much can I safely mill the head for extra compression if I use the OEM pistons?

     

    Thank you

    1200 Bandit is a popular and easy swap. you can buy the conversion parts here:  www.suzuki-katana.com

    I am currently having my machinist do the modifications to mount a TL000R braced swingarm.

    I am currently doing a 1982 Katana 1100 restmod.

    Good luck

    Gsxr cams in my gs1100

    in Air Cooled

    Posted

    Hi guys.

    I have heard that the 1988/89 gsxr 750 cams are a great option for my gs1100 motor. Are they a simple drop in? What cam sprockets should I use? What should they be degreed to? Any information would be appreciated.
