  1. the linkage isn't interchangeable. If you are struggling making what you have work, buying a WC are and link is unlikely to make things easier
  2. That waterless coolant is nearly as bad as brake fluid to handle, horrid stuff, and doesn't cool any better than water. Only advantage is it doesn't pressurise, so great for masking iffy cooling systems. Do not like.
  3. The bearing in the eccentric should be at the bottom. Does look like a 750 arm. 750G and H arms are same length as a 1100 arm. The mount for the link is beefier on the 1100.
  4. To be honest I've never really need a slipper on il4 bikes my riding style doesn't need one and I was happy to modulate the clutch lever if I did get any rear locking. However when I was offered one free to try it seemed silly not to. I do feel it working, I guess it has allowed me to go a bit deeper on the brakes, as it gives little more stability. I would say it's a nice thing to have, rather than a must have on oil cooled track bikes
  5. I've got a Sigma after market slipper in my 1216 motor. They are a bit border line in taking the power from 160+ bhp motors but its worked fine for me with 157bhp.
  6. The squish isn't any different is it? either way adjusting the compression via thicker base or head gaskets fucks your squish anyway.
  7. Spike builds race fairings, they are very light and well made, but they aren't oem quality. He will make heavier road spec stuff if you ask, it does cost a little more, but most racers are happy with cheap and light.
  8. Pretty sure Cregnybaa uses the suzuki box. Classic team Suzuki do for definite use the Nova box..
  9. They had a better spread of ratio's to start with. The 1100 ratio's are too evenly spaced, big drops between 3rd-4th-5th. A race gear box has bigh gaps between lower gears, and small gaps between the top gears. in the lower gears you are traction/wheelie limited so don't need to keep the bike in the fat part of the power curve, but in the top gears where you need to over come aero drag, you want the gears closer together to when you change up a gear you drop down the revs into a fat part of the power. Modern 1000cc bikes do 100mph in first 135mph second, but might only be 15mph apart between 5th and 6th.
  10. The 1100 ratios are shit for track work. They are touring ratios.
  11. The ragged edge fairings pictured, may possibly be cribbed from the airtech ones, not via a member on here... You won't fit them to an 1100 with above yoke clip ons, even less so with clip ons that are raised too. You will either have to fit under yoke clip ons, or cut the top fairing about to clear the raised bars.
  12. Same deal, 1052 or 1127. Ok I know the primary is differnt from 1052. 1127, but you are already swaping baskets on primaries.
  13. Which fairing are you talking about? Pics would help.
  14. Glad your paying attention. Because I'm clearly not. does point the ignition side though if its 1&4. Are the coils set up so the resistance is correct for the ignition module? If they arent the current draw may be higher and cause the circumstances uit to over heat.
  15. The coil for 1&4 is breaking down. Throw away and replace.
  16. This. They are all much of a muchness, The J/k frames are smaller and slightly lighter, though they are all heavy. The last M frames have few extra bits tacked on for undetray mounts etc. so are very slightly heavier, but the swing arm pivot on them is better.
  17. Well there's only one way to find out. Good luck Garry.
  18. Water "wetters" that increase the surface area, and water/Glycol mixed 50:50 are both proven to be slightly better at cooling engines than pure water. Unless you are circuit racing where only pure water is allowed, I'd always run a coolant additive, more for the corrosion inhibitors than anything else.
  19. How do you define the original specification.
  20. He didn't make that... Made by another craftsman who decided he didn't want to deal with Martek.
  21. He's only got one tank mould for the Crighton bikes as far as I know.
  22. https://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/archive/index.php/t-125459.html You have to sign up to see the pictures, but this thread covers a Gk71 coverted in period to run a tuned 810cc gsx750es motor. Looks a very cool bike.
