Brians 7/12

… was only running on 2&3… so was hoping for the obvious… damaged coil… luckily when it arrived this was the reason Anyways like I said bought it for the Engine/Carbs/Cooler/Loom etc but even though rough looking & looked like it spent every 27,000mls outside with no cover… I thought this might pass a MOT… so put it through & it Passed So have put 430mls since buying it using it only for a 60 mile commute every Sunday for work when weather is looking good… well the tyres look to be aleast 8yrs old & unwilling to spend any extra money on it All I’ve bought is a seat for £20… & a front Indicator for £20… the bike pulls hard everywhere… & runs faultlessly even in rain when I’ve been caught out So I’ve called him Geoff… as he is from the 80’s… & is a Big Lump… after Geoff Capes… who sadly died about 6wks after I bought & named him Anyways… I was going to decommission it over this winter… but still have another project going on… so he might very well get another summer next year

Thanks guys… it’ll mainly be for a standard GSX1100F engine… but was hoping to lob them on the B12 engine for a bit first till I finish project 2

That’s sad Blubber… how are you by the way?… I printed a lot of stuff off on A4 paper… I’ll have a butchers in the garage for it

Awesome… Cheers fella

Do RS Carbs when bought new generally work as set up from the box… straight on bike & run?… obviously fine tuning will be required !? Also if so… will they work on all O/C engines straight off… whether 600/750/1127/1157 GSXR/F/GSF Mk1 & Mk2… or do I need to order for the particular model I require !? Many Thanks in advance

Greetings… fancy a bit of light reading… & having recently bought a GSX1100F ‘Katana’ … that I’ll be sticking in to a 750 Slabby frame… thought I’d read about Patrick’s build… especially the part about coming to Blighty, RS Carbs & Laser Exhaust… I’ve got printed versions of it somewhere in the garage… but thought I’ll just read it here instead if still knocking about !?

Hi… just bought a Powerscreen for the engine/carbs/oil cooler/loom etc… but whilst riding the bike the tacho revs pass the redline until it can’t go any further… if it had numbers there it would probably read 16,000rpms… lol basically just doing 70mph in 5th & the revs are off the counter when should probably be showing around 6k !? any ideas what to check please

Nice… would the reservoir fit on totally standard frame & bodywork or would it interfere with the battery box or something?

How much does 18mm give you in ride height !?

Will a longer shock fit & if so will it do the same as dropping in a modified 1100 linkage to raise the height?… & would it raise it by the same amount… say one that is 45mm longer?… or is that not possible !?

Nice one

Hi… got a spare 750 Slabby frame I haven’t manage to sell yet… lol… no subframe so don’t mind cutting & welding bits to it… I’ve got bits all over the garage so might as well build another bike… which year of VFR & cc (400 or 750/800) or other make (Triump/Ducati etc) of single sided swing arm is best to use for the conversions… I know NWS did a few but they don’t seem to be around now
