Looks like your cog has had some machine work on it because this is what the one i've got looks like :

The guy who has the RF channel on YouTube said this regarding clutch : I'll get some pics of the cogs for you to compare to what you've got

It slots in ok but indeed i do also note a 10mm shorter shaft on the clutch side. Other than that everything matches up so far

I have no idea However, quoting top HP figure resistance is one thing, but, how often does an engine get pushed and kept at its peak HP ? On a road used bike these days, i'd say, not often ? So if it's in decent shape as is, you should be OK for quite some ?

I have a W gearbox with hollow shaft arriving this week, i'll be able to supply comparison material

Great ! Thanks a bunch that gives me food for thought on this project i'm looking into

Oh and also what would the diameter be on the big end side ? Can't seem to find a definitive answer

Haha. No worries. I have a set of Carillo rods on the shelf but for this i need stock rod size 1127 although if 1052 is also a 20 mil pin i could use the info too

Hello Does someone happen to have a set of GSXR 1100 rods on the bench ? I'd like to know what the outer diameter of the small end is. I know the piston pins are 20mm. Thanks

1052 GSXR was 86-88 1127 GSXR was 89-92 But the 1100F was 1127, from 87 to 94 Go figure Back on the 6 speed box topic, is the bore of this WC shaft, the same as the 1100 5 speed ?

Whats with the already hollow 750 shaft ? Any specific year these were fitted ? Edit : looks like 24121-17E01 is solid and 24120-17E20 is hollow

Also did a GSXR 250 with that WC engine and it does 45HP with a 17000 rpm redline, which all things considered must be quite a whip of an engine

Yeah i have an RF900 block i was hoping to do this to, so looking into it last year ago i did a google search and only found a few vague posts in various message boards, but this guys video was uploaded just a couple of months ago showing it A to Z

This is for a RF900 but i think the bottom end is almost if not the same as the 1100 ? https://youtu.be/TjEjdQNQ2FY Does indeed look very straightforward to swap in

It's a stainless system with bolt on flanges, not much there to fail

Blackwidow on their website only says that their R&D is based in UK, doesn't state where production is.

They are (asian made?) close copies of Akrapovic systems. Good quality for the money

Well RS 36 sound like a good idea ? Otherwise do air and oil cooled racks not have the same spacing, if ever oil cooled carbs provide something extra over stock ?

3.5 on the front sounds unlikely ?

Hey it's not because you couldn't do it that it can't be done But seeing thats its over £300 for a pair of stanchions from brooks, then you've got the seal and bush kit that you will want to buy OEM, it would be more cost effective to fit a K fork than do a full rebuild of the crap that they came with back in the day. K forks even fit in the stock yokes

If you're replacing the chrome tubes it makes it a bit easier because you don't have to worry about buggering them up Foot in a vice, heat on the threaded area, screwdriver through stanchion hole with extension lever, it should come quite ok I've done a couple of USD forks like this https://youtu.be/wADxhvP40Rw

The stock bandit header actually is known to fall apart, it rusts out and snaps where the link pipe goes on.

Should be a very snug slide into the bronze bush bit i think ?

The thing fits together and works fine off the bike. And indeed it does have a nice feel (10 times better than the Motion Pro bullshit on my 11) If i manage to work it out i'll post about it
