Well it turned out I had a perfect B12 loom laying around, which I will use to modify rather than make everything new. I will ultrasonic clean the loom first and shorten it. Will be running a B12 engine too so all the connectors are already there Done some research on stick coils on here: https://oldskoolsuzuki.info/forums/topic/19062-stick-coils/ https://oldskoolsuzuki.info/forums/topic/14536-stick-coil-conversion/ However it's not only about stick coils. I was wondering if there is a replacement for the stock CDI, because that's quite bulky. I have a space to put it, but just to wonder. Also for the main breaker, are there any good universal options? Or can you just sort it with a fuse holder like this: Looking for a (LED useable) blinker relay too. But I think I can find that with my friends at Ali.

That’s also what I figured. The engines don’t need much, so why fiddle around with all the old stuff and instead build something better. thanks for the tips, I’ll be posting something soon how i plan to go along

Allright, I'm planning some work for the winter and am thinking of building a loom. Normally we tend to stick with the old stuff and make it work, but since looms are also over 30 years old they detoriate. In the basic, oilboilers don't need any engine electronics besides spark, ignition and a starter. For the onboard electrics you need a reg/rec and a fusebox. Which made me think, what would be the upgraded version of a wiring loom? Taking out all the unnecessary stuff. Not going into the motogadget stuff, but just building a clean and nice loom with a modern fusebox, stick coils, upgraded handlebar controls. Which works well with a lithium battery without burning down the house etc. Convert everything to LED. What is everybody using? Maybe this could result in a nice list of components to use without breaking the bank, and I can turn it into a knowledgebase article. https://oldskoolsuzuki.info/forums/uploads/monthly_2019_09/370001285_SuzukiGSXR1100KLwiringdiagram.jpg.491b20a1007329d99c4bd396a13d95a0.jpg Fusebox Handlebar switches Relays Ignition coils circuit breakers Battery Alternator Reg/rec My goal is to look at new stuff, or new-ish (like stick coils from a modern GXSR), and make it simple and compact, serviceable. I know @Leblowskiused something like a Steuerbox on the Bakker build he did. If there is a component which can replace a lot of the others, thats nice too. Or something like a PDM (Power distribution module)

Yes. As said before (a search is the beauty of a Forum like OSS ;-)): It's all about having the right paperwork to import a bike into the UK nowadays. Have a bill of sale made up, have a customs agency in UK who can do the mandatory paperwork, and you're good.

Wouldn't buy a bike off this lot dodgy fella's. Nice result! Great line-up of bikes.

Hit up @gsxr884he might be able to do you a good deal on those YSS ones.

Nothing is swappable for an SRAD as they are 30mm longer than everything else. At least that I know of. I had a nice YSS one for sale, but its gone unfortunately.

Got one (k8 it was), doesn't fit well. I'm mostly about the inner fairing which holds the battery.

Locked this topic as this discussion is going nowhere and there are too many assumptions and so which we cannot verify (and we don't want to be involved in). Let OSS Be the place for Oldskool enthusiasts.

So I thought K1-4 wouldn't fit, but it will? Got one around I guess, will give it a go. Cheers

Right, didn't want to ask, used the search, searched google, but I don't seem to find a good replacement shock for an MK2 Blandit 1200/1250. Got one which I need to flog with the shock shot, tried fitting a GSXR k8 shock (with the reservoir pointing down) but because the battery sits so low on the MK2's I am not getting away with clearing the inner plastics only. @fatblokeonbanditor other usual suspects, any clue what would be a good and cheap replacement? Don't want to go on the blandit forums...

So, who will be over this year? I know of a couple: @Rene EFE, @Kid Kearsley@MrsKid, @gsxr884@hippy, @busa ash @zedheadand probably more. Would it be an idea to meet up somewhere during raceweek and have some food in the Creek or the Marine?

It suits a draw through so well.

Very nice result, love the bike.

Wow.... Interesting wiring solutions. Good luck with the rebuild.
