  1. I like the Seat unit.  I think this build has a better stance,  raising the seat unit has made the difference.    I'd have fairng and clips ons too, but that's just me.   Look forward to seeing it in action.

  2. Have you cut and pasted the text from elsewhere?

    The springs are 0.7 kg/mm so very soft. 

    Depends on use and how you ride.

    I would aim for 0.85  max for road  use.

    They are a  early cartridge type.  They work quite well, properly sprung and set-up.

    '88/'89 has a shorter stroke, is more peaky than the earlier and later oilcooled 750's. The heads are worth a lot of money because of the larger valves. People put them on 1100 lumps to raise compression.

    Valves are the same diameter as other 750 and 1100s, stems are longer though.

    Thanks for the comments 

    My concern was on the air locking side really  and if it were to happen from time to time while oil would still flow it would be ineffective  car guys have lots of comments about it

    Any who Merry crimbo

    You wont get airlocks. It's a positive pressure pump that will force air out, not like water pump which just gives flow.

  5. If only there were a website that covered this sort of stuff....

    4. 750R 6 box in a 1127 motor
    The only hard thing here is to have a hole drilled through the gear box shaft, for the pushrod.
    The 750 6 boxes have a single row bearing on the output shaft, and the clutch does
    not have a diaphragm spring. So the easiest 1127 engines to put a 6 box in are the ones with a
    single row bearing on the output shaft, and no diaphragm clutch, ie. only the GSXF1127 engines.
    In these engines the 6 box drops straight in, only the shaft has to be drilled.
    Second easy would be an 1127R engine with a diaphragm clutch, but no double row bearing (88-90).
    In this case the box would still drop in, but for the clutch one would have to use the inner
    clutch parts from a GSXF1127 (with normal springs) and the outer clutch basket from the 1127R
    (with a straight cut gear, not helical).
    Most work is in a 91/92 1127R where one would have to match the clutch as above + find a
    solution for the double row bearing (the solution is actually to turn the double row bearing
    inside out, and make a little hole for the small pin).
    Of course the shift drum and forks from the 6 box have to be used as well, but they drop in
    any 1127 without problems.

  6. I would avoid fitting a fan personally. Only helps in slow traffic and hinders flow when pressing on and generating heat. 

    No fan means it might run slightly hotter in town, but it not going to boil over is it.

    My gsx750 ef based  project has the stainless steel 4 into 2 headers from one of the oil cooled gsxr models fitted , they fit the ports and clear the sump when installed.

     

    Not sure which one they are from , but can post a pic to see if anyone can identify ghem

    @jaycee. Looks like a yes to to the Bandit headers

    Thanks, great info - I’m guessing that the 750 J(1987) isn’t a straight fit then… was kinda hoping it would slot in with the wheel etc as I have a whole rear end? 

    I actually have an 1100 swingarm so that sounds like the best option from what you say, I have an adjustable rear shock so can play with the ride height.
     

    You also say that the 1100 link gives more ride height so good for the 17’’ wheel swap which I’m planning, but then I can’t raise the front to match, unless the 750J forks are longer..?  If not it sounds like I’ll be raising the rear more than the front… 

    The  750j front end works well, straight bolt in.

    Works perfectly with a raised rear ride height.

    Hi all, I’m starting a 7/11 project (7/12 maybe) - which is the best swingarm option in terms of geometry and strength for the 750 slabby frame - 
    -GSXR750J (inc wheel etc)
    -Bandit 1200 swingarm - fits?
    -GSXR1100 slabby swingarm
    -Slabby 750 swingarm (don’t have one though…) 

    I also have the bottom link from both a 750 and 1100 slabby to choose from, apparently the 1100 is a better ratio.

    The front end will be the whole lot from the 750J donor bike, I assume this is a better option that the 1200 front end (FB suggested 750J option as bandit steering stem longer). 

    chz 

    750 slabbie arm is the simplest fit. Earlier 85 arms are shorter, the 86-87  arms are the same length as the 1100 slabbie arms.

    1100 slabbie link gives more rear ride height, useful with 17"wheels.

    1100slabbie arm is slightly more robust, but the geometry is slightly different so will need a longer shock to get decent rear ride height.

    Most of the bandit and slingshot arms will fit at the pivot, but they face a different linkage set-up. There is a way you can run these, but I'll leave that to others to explain.

    Simplest and most effective setup is the 85 750 arm with 1100 slabbie link, or 750 link with a longer shock.

  10. I'd be far far happier running the modified SBS pads, and not just because of the price. Modifying pads as you have done is perfectly acceptable.  I've done it loads of times on old F1 cars to get modern pad compounds in old caliper designs, all with th blessing of the manufacturer. 

    There are caveats of course, but what you have done is fine.

    Leave the N.o.s pads in their packaging. It's all they are fit for.

    The point of the 1100 is it torque monster the 750 is rev monster, hence huge difference in red line, hence gearbox has been built to suit. I've seen so many broken 11 gearboxes and snapped dogs off gears myself which was scary so really can't understand why u put weaker gearbox in 11, but peeps do use them on track I personally wouldn't but I understand that can restrict you on certain tracks, depends if racing seriously or just playing too.

    Decide where you want your power, choose ya engine and tune and cam to suit.

    The correct answer as you know is to tune the knackers off a 1100 motor. The ratios are shit for track work, even for a stock motor, they are proper touring ratios.

    The real answer is a 6speed Nova gearbox, but they are a tad spendy.  For a mild motor I firmly believe a 750 6spd is worth while, as long as you are prepared for the extra maintenance.

  12. The bandit head will physically fit but the 91 cams wont work, and I believe valves are smaller. 

    Gsxf head will not work as the cam chain tunnel won't line um properly.

    You options are, a 85-87 750 slabby head with  matching cams and followers,  a 90 750 slingshot head, cams and followers, or a 91 750 head, your cams will work with this.

    Anything else will require skilled machining and or welding to work.
