Awesome write up !

I could have done the same with the framemounts as i had the k4 thou frame too but choose not to so i could always mount the 750 engine when needed. Welding radial brake mounts on a srad 600 fork ! I would like to see some pictures

Always did my front end overhauls my self but did it with homemade tool wich where put together in the time i couldnt weld myself So it was time to create a proper one two hour job to create this tool to compress the forks so top can be taken of. Forkoverhaul next will be installing some skf green forkseals wich will give less friction and will last langer as some may say .

You are the man !

Front end done made some brackets for the srad fender to suit. Also welded a new bracket on the front end wich was broken very happy welding went easy. Next is putting some slicks on and waiting for some brakelines from @gsxr884/ cp racetec so front end will be finished besides suspension Been at hyperpro last week they will do some upgrades on the rearshock front end will get some skf green seals for less friction wich i will install myself to keep the cost down. I need to change gearing on the bike so i will convert it to a 520 chain and sprockets also. The completion of this project is in sight !

Got the bike out yesterday and tried to start it wich it did, for about 3 seconds. After some googling i found out these bikes have a tip over sensor wich wasn’t mounted right. So got that sorted and presto instant fire up and idling the engine revs nice but was a tad smokey could be the oil i pored into the cilinders or the two stroke oil i used after elektrolysis. Started the bike up end of the day again and smoke was about 80% less so i think i am fine. Need to sort the oilleaks, frontbrakes, chain and suspension needs setting up. So almost there

I have been doing trackdays for 1,5 years now with a 520 chain works perfect

I spoke to Sean years a go bout this problem, he told me they did a shot if nitrous at a certain point cause of starvation to prevent destroying the engine iff i recall correct. What clive said they just couldn’t fill the floatbowl. He also tried to fill it under pressure with a boostsignal regulator and pump but that didn’t work it just pissed out of the carb. The only way to fill it up is with a fuelpump that’s it. What also helps is using a straight fuelentry into the carb instead of the 90 degrees, and bigger seat and floatneedle. There are boundaries using a hsr a bigger floatbowl doesn’t work either said sean.

Turned out really tidy !

Rearsets arrived today as always good quality for a good price, the mastercilinder needed some tweaking to get it all alligned proper. The rearcaliper was shot but i had a k2 600 caliper if i am correct wich bolted right on. Coming weekend will be a bit trilling, first start up so will know if the engine seller wasn’t lying as i never heard the engine running

Got my Battery so checked systems all seems fine, now fill er up with oil gas and liquid then an attempt to fire her up. In the mean time i trimmed the fairing to suit. A bit of hacksawing here and there but nothing big need to create new lower mount on the engine thats it. It al fit’s nice and tight. Found out the srad 320 discs fit the k4 wheel srad wheel doesn’t it’s approx 1 cm wider so i will stick with the k4 wheel Tried to fit the k4 rear also, it fits like a glove all bushes spacing etc is excactly the same however the chain is not alligned and can’t mill anything of the wheelcarrier as there’s no meat so the srad wheel will stay.

Front end sorted thanks Suzuki ! 1 on 1 swap also purchased some R6 calipers. Need to measure if the srad discs fit the k4 wheel as they are bigger wich i like. Also found out the plugs i couldnt work out are for the exhaust servo motor wich i don’t use so sorted

Wasn’t allowed to work on the bike because of a fracture in my elbow for a week to see how it healed. So all good now and back to work. Decided to hacksaw the thou airbox to make it fit wich worked the intakes are under a different angle so chopped them off and glued some foam to the frame for final fitment. Also made a new bracket to mount to the frame. Now working on getting the thou loom into the frame wich works pretty good i can use the space where the cdi was for the ecu starterrelais etc only have to find a new place for the rectifier. I have some plugs left on the loom wich i really don’t have a clue where there from so have to figure that out also. So have to mount everything next is getting the k4 front end in.

I had some problems in the past with starting also, turned out i got the wrong wiring scheme from them. Might be worthied to compare and check

Next whas creating brackets for the cooler and fitting the Miv muffler to the gsxr 1000 Fabrication is almost done now, tomorrow elektrolyses on the tank is done too. Next is mating the gsxr 1000 loom to the srad and finding a nice place for ecu, etc etc

Front end is SV1000 new spindel spacers and adapters for calipers where made to fit. Lot of work you can see how in my thread about this bike.

Not the pioneer as you say, it has done before by others. But i will happily take your compliments it still is a lot a work and thinkwork to get this done. Thanks !!

I really haven’t got a clue used it for a week or two and then binned it. For that price i would buy one and test it myself

It means without a fuel pump, i ran my kwaksuki like this with great results. I also installed the biggest floatseat and needle available It made 230 bhp at the wheel and did not run lean on wot so good enough for me

Maybe i’ll let you know when the bike is finished. Always handy to have backup when i crash... I have a history with crashing

If you use gravity drain then No If you use a pump yes otherwise it will pis down your carb I used this one in the past but decided to go gravitydrain after two broken down pumps. https://www.Eblag.co.uk/itm/1-5-psi-Adjustable-Fuel-Pressure-Regulator-Carburetor-Carb-Kit-8mm-Hose-2018-UK/253868667771?hash=item3b1bc0737b:g:7ckAAOSwO95bmoUS

Today i made all the enginemounts out of 4mm steel, took more time then i thought as usual. The engine sits spot on exhaust line is perfect Will spray them Silver to hide them a bit. Happy with the results till now Next stop is bolting radiator loom airbox tb’s in place

Dunno if anyone has done this one here before but maybe usefull to someone Started today with an engineswap, a K4 thou is transplanted into a 96 srad 750. Front end will be mounted too. I started out with a complete Srad 750 and a Complete damaged K4 Thou engine with loom exhaust etc etc all what’s needed to get it running. So first butchered the thou and then the Srad took out everything wich i didn’t need anymore. Welded the bottom of the thou tank into the Srad tank as i need the thou fuelpump for EFI. Getting the thou engine into the Srad is quite easy you need to take of 6mm of the lower engine mounts on both sides wich i did using an anglegrinder and a Dremel as usual. The upper engine mounts need to be taken away to make room. Engine is now in place chainline is spot on. Next is creating new enginemounts for the upper and cilinderhead mounts. Bought some steel today so will start tomorrow on that. Will keep you updated on progress.

A gem !

Driver behind me said when i fell he saw the bolt jumping away. After he asked if i was okay he gave it to me so it was already on the roundabout i reckon
