Yes, mounted to the centre stand. The kit contains everything you need. Also the long bolts etc.

I took the easy way and bought a complete kit from Custom Wolf Germany. Ment for a gsxr 1100 swingarm but I put a 1250 bandit swingarm in. I can make some measurements if you want.

I hope to be there with the freshly built gsx 1200 ET.

Or have a set custom made by a friend. Robinjo made these out of bandit rearsets

Like this?

Okay, that looks nice. Thanks for the explanation.

Hello, I am building a gsx 1100 et with a bandit 1200 engine. I have a nice bandit swingarm with Lucky 7 shockmounts and a nice set of YSS shocks. So I want to keep it twin shocked. The left top shock mount looked like it was welded before and this evening the thread on the mount snapped off. I am no technician so what is the best way to repair it? Can those mounts be replaced with new ones after some grinding and welding? What are your ideas/examples of repairing? Thanks.

I would take a good look inside the fueltank. Ten years not using will take its toll when not stored well. But 600 euro's isn't much and everything can be repaired. I have a set of sidepannels indeed for a lot less then Eblag and you have to paint them anyway.

Why?

Oke, thats nice to hear. Also it has a hydraulic clutch. Havent counted the fins yet but it will be a 1200 for sure I believe.

Thanks all. Bought an engine from a guy who seems to be reliable. Had a chitchat at his home about bikes,streetfighters. He was selling parts of stalled projectbike. For a reasonable price I bought the engine, carbs, loom and stainless Hindle exhaust. When I got home I noticed the missing of the engine number and the missing cc on the block. Called him and he assured it was a 1200 and told me that it was already removed when he bought it a few years ago. Downside, I can not sell it anymore. Brightside, I have to use it myself. Saw it running and it was fine.

Hello all, I know it's a strange question but how can I tell if a bandit mk1 engine has 600 or 1200 cc's besides engine number or the numbers on the cylinderblock? Are there some kind of visual differences? Thanks.

When the EF is ready in time I will bring it otherwise I take my fightered Busa for a spin.

Thanks for all the advice. I will have another try. You all convinced me.

Should take the easy way and fit a bandit wheel with the bandit spacers. Then you only have to shave a few mm of the sprocketcarrier and there will be no surprises. I don’t know if a gsxr 1100 wheel with the correct spacers has the same width as a banditwheel with correct spacers but I do know that banditspacers are different then gsxr spacers.

I have two sets of 36 mm gsxr carbs and they are the same. One of the sets was on my gsx 1100 f engine so I know for sure that it is an oilcooler carb. At least they fitted without hassle. The one I fitted to the EF engine was sold to me as an oilcoolercarb and the previous owner said that he also had to twist the manifolds a bit. I will have a fresh look tomorrow because I am a bit confused now. Everybody says the spacing is the same but without twisting the manifolds it wont fit. They are a few mm off. Whats the spacing of watercooled carbs?

Thanks for the reply and explaination but what I ment is that the spacing between carbs 1+2 and between 3+4 is all the same but the distance between 2+3 is not. So I either have to twist the intake manifolds 1 + 2 or 3+ 4 a bit to get them fitted. When you put EF carbs next to oilcooler carbs you can see that are not quiet the same in distance.

They have the same diametre and so the inlet manifolds are big enough. It is more that the manifolds have a bend unlike oilcooled ones and to get them in you have to twist/turn the manifolds a bit. But then you create a bit of an angle between the manifolds and the carbs. The manifolds and the carbs dont line up in a straight line. I hope I made myself understood this way. Hahaha.

I have a nice set of gsxr 36 mm oilcooler cv carbs which I am putting on a 1135 EF engine. By turning the inletrubbers a bit I can put them on but it is not a straight fit as normal. There is always a bit of an angle between the carbs and the rubbers. Is there a way to get a straight fit? Should I try more options by turning the inletrubbers more or is there an other solution? Thanks.

Thanks Clive

Allright. Thanks. Now I have to find two mountingsplates then.

I am going to put an EF 1135 engine in my ET frame. Is it just a matter of using the engine mounting plates from the ET or is there something else to do? I have heard it should be an easy fit but I noticed that the front mounting plates from the EF don’t bolt up on the ET frame. I am not in the possession of the ones from the ET so I can not compare. The EF engine is mounted in rubber and the ET engine is not according to the cmsnl parts side. Is that correct? Thanks.

Sorry Simbec, I needed a set. Sent message to Arnout.

That's kind of you. Thanks. I am gonna build another ET this year again with an oilcooled engine. Will start a new topic soon.

Allright then. I have to buy another complete cowl then. I have already two fueltanks and two rearlight units so why not two headlights. Thanks Paul.
