My gsxr1100K was on an f reg back in the day (1990) , so 89/90. I know the 1100L rans usd's. But thanks for the advice Puddy

Sound advice

You are both right of course........ but, probably be the only street efe you will see with them fitted ! Currently toying with another oil cooler setup , I have a 10 row mocal type one in stock , just ordered some an-6 weld ons and looking at chinese mounting brackets and fitting kit , all in should cost less than a £100. Btw , got a V&H pro system for my kat coming too , watch this space , lol. Puddy

Btw , how do I tell if they are 89 or 90 spec ? Like I said , these are fitted to my efe. Puddy

Ta !

Doing my 110k fork seals on my efe at the moment. Anyone know the measurement or amount of fork oil on replacement? Puddy

Always something to do , so decided to try some Star cycle headers I acquired recently along with a V&H street meg. Looks pretty cool , but the stock oil cooler is gonna be in the way . Also too k the front end out to replace the fork seals and dust covers. Puddy

Wish I could put up video on here , took a couple of short vids as well today and it sounds awesome! Puddy

Well , the running got progressively worse so back to the drawing board. Cyl2 seemed to have a problem so swapped no.1 and 2 plugs , ht caps etc to no avail. So off with the tank , checked coil conections , ht was really strong on cranking. So checked compressions ,all even . New plugs , checked fuel into carbs and fresh fuel in a bottle. Fired up , a bit fluffy then as it warmed up was spot on ! So very happy , might even book her in for an mot at last. Puddy

Still got one of those in my toolbox, haven't used it for years tho. Deffo invest in a set of Japanese jis screwdrivers Good luck Puddy

I think you are supposed to unscrew them , never seen them nailed together lol. Mp

Give them all a sharp tap with a hammer first and make sure you use a proper jis screwdriver. Puddy

Well its all back together and up and running again, even rode it round the yard wahoo ! Gotta bit of carb fettling to do and sounds like a header gasket is leaking , so as the zorst has to come off , bought this yesterday lol

I am using black plastic washers under the cap heads so as not to damage the fresh powder coat , so I don't want to over tighten them. Puddy

Slow progress, but at last the flywheel is on tight and the generator cover back on with the new bolts loosely fitted , gotta thread lock them before I tighten them. Puddy

Blocked silencer on the new system ?

Sounds like you have got a butterfly the wrong way round , or if they are cv carbs , a split or leaking diaphragm maybe . Sticking float or poorly set float heights over fuelling and revving , or a massive air leak on a carb runner ? Only needs to hang one carb up to make all 4 rev. Puddy

Yeah , he has made a bonnet and bootlid for my mk2 cortina, and a complete one piece tailpiece for my zrx kwak amongst many things in the past. Puddy

Yeah too true. All back together with these neat little wing type led indicators fitted to the front , the front fairing has been painted and filled in. Puddy

I recently bought a katana gsx1100, a bit modified , a bit original. There were a few things that needed addressing, rear height , wound the yss rear shocks up as high as they would go. No indicators , a work in progress but getting there. And stock rear mudguard too long , so rather than chop a 150 quids worth of rear muddie I got my dad to make a fibreglass shorty the same as the jap ones made of cf. Btw , my dad , now 90 , made parts for Concorde et al at British aerospace for 30 years . Hope you like. Puddy

Cause and effect , is what you should ask yourself. You can see the effect , what was the cause ? Puddy

Looks nice , I'm guessing you will be fitting a v&h pro drag pipe ? Lol. Puddy

Looks like you just have to join the power wires to the consumer wires. I know these classic bikes are easy to nick , but I personally wouldn't make it any easier lol. Maybe a seperate circuit breaker else where operated by a key perhaps .... Pudzrx

If thats on a roadbike , it looks VERY easy to hotwire imho. Pudzrx
