That makes sense so! I'll be actively trying to find a solution anyways.. if I find something, updates will be posted

No because the women love pulling cables, need regular oiling and they can be tight as f*%k... instead of being a mans clutch with a piston and a load of built-up fluid that never gets to go anywhere

Thank you very much dude this is exactly what I needed to know! I also should add that the picture is slightly deceiving, it is lying up against the shed wall in this photo. The lever usually sits out its normal resting position with a good handful of grab available until it hits the bars. And to address the other replies above, thank you everyone for your input! My personal preference lies with the hydraulic clutch for the smoother feel. I have cable on my 750L and although it's great, I much prefer my 1100M hydraulic clutch so I'd like to stick with the setup that's on it currently as there has already been a few hard earned pennies spent on the clutch system so far! The clutch push rod was fabricated to fit as the engine is running an offset front sprocket which prevents the sprocket cover and slave cylinder from sitting flush with the engine. So aluminium spacers were machined exactly 10mm in length to space out the cover, which we then compensated for the push rod by machining it 10mm longer than the standard length. So all is good down that end and as far as I remember, I had an OE master connected while the engine was being built and the clutch operated as it should internally (visually). It's only since I changed set up to the Aprilia master, does it not engage properly. You get around 30mm of free travel on the lever until you just about feel it starting to engage. I'm nearly sure as I said, that the master cylinder piston size is too small, so ill try see if I can pick up a VTR unit as Toddy recommended and see how it fairs out! Thanks again for all the replies and just to stir the pot on the cable-hydraulic argument, cable clutches are for women.....end of

I am currently building a 1990 GSXR 1100 L Streetfighter with an '86 1100 engine, I finally have it starting and running but the current issue is in the lack of driving. Having built this bike from the ground up with no parts to begin with, I went for what I thought would be good options through the build process. I got a set of Aprilia RSV1000R master cylinders and levers and the brake works fine but it seems that the master cylinder isn't displacing enough fluid to fully engage the clutch when the lever is fully pulled. It's as if the it's just about to start engaging, then the lever hits the bars. It's not a question of whether the system is bled properly, as I'm 99 percent confident the issue is with the master cylinder. My question lies in that firstly, what is the cylinder bore of the original 1100 master cylinder and secondly, does anyone have an idea of any recommendations as to any from another model (with a remote reservoir) that will do the job i'm looking for it to do and as a bonus, if it looks similar/ same as what I already have (in appearance) then even better. Any help much appreciated in advance! Pic attached of my current set-up.

Perfect, I managed to get my hands on a set of K1 GSXR 1000 titanium ones. Checked the pics and there doesnt appear to be a link, only rather a bracket clamped on to brace the pipes but looks removable. I'll keep everyone posted anyways when they arrive

Brilliant info, off I go drooling over titanium thousand headers

Would K2 1000 Headers fit a 1052 with a little persuasion? In regards to the sump, would things still clear down that end? Edit: Should note the 1052 is in an 1100L Slingy frame.

Hey everyone, new to the forum, already learning a lot! I'm sure something along these lines has been addressed before but after hours of searching I've still found very little. Just gathering insight at the minute on people's experiences with fitting a later type GSXR swingarm (Preferably k4 1000) and getting a shock to fit a slingshot frame. It is off at the minute getting spacers made to fit my 1100L frame and it's only the shock and linkage that will be holding me back from getting it rolling. Now come the questions. A few little birdies told me my place to go is OSS if I want to try get my hands on an adapter plate for lower shock mount to allow a later k-series shock and linkage to fit. Also, I have a chart for all the sizes and lengths of the shocks and upper and lower dimensions but I want to make sure. Will any of the GSXR linkages/knuckles fit the range of shocks or is there one best suited to my set up that someone would recommend? I also need recommendations/peoples ideas for a rear shock best suited to my needs that wont be awful to fit and a link/placename to a good set of adjustable dog bones that wont break the bank Thanks in advance for any help! It's much appreciated.
