A 45mm longer shock will have the linkage hard against the stops. You can grind material away here and there to gain a bit of clearance, but 45mm is a lot.
I run and early r6 shock tgat is around 18mm longer than stock, still had to grind material away to get enough sag in the rear suspension.
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 !?

I think VFR 750 is the one you want, maybe Ducati, Triumph is really wide and the hardest to fit.
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

Make sure you allow enough clearance for the chain so it doesn't eat through the brace

I bought an early r1 arm for 30 English quids cut the brace off welded it onto the lower side of the 7.5 slabby arm and had it powdered in chrome effect
This is perfect… Thanks

What do people use to brace a 750 Slabby swingarm… I think I remember someone using a R6 brace or something?… with a full Slabby fairing I’m guessing bottom brace would look best… but feel free to show me your braces… oo-er… & what/where you got them down please

You can if you accept max of 0.5bar boost with no headroom to increase + the pistons will be a weak point even with restricted boost
Any ideas what .2bar would give bhp maybe to keep it safe… I’d be happy with just 180bhp really

Yes you can if you keep the boost low enough. I think the limit would be around 0.5-0.7 bar on pump gasoline if tuned properly. Upside would be that it probably makes clearly more power at that boost compared to lower compression build.
Some time ago I partially built and tuned a turbo B12 that had completely stock unopened engine. It cranked out quite healthy 260hp at 0.9 bar boost. But this was on E85 fuel. As said, on normal pump gasoline you probably want to keep the boost a bit lower.
Hmmmm… I’m not looking for 260bhp… around 180-200 would be way more than enough… as it’s on a Slabby 750 frame anyways… lol… but also looks cooler than going for a non turbo 1216/1246/1371 with headwork & perhaps only around 150-170bhp
-
Cheers lads… can you Turbo a standard B12 engine as it has lower compression as standard… obviously you would get less bhp !?
-
That’s why I thought to do it in 2 steps… 1216 with Busa Pistons & then 90% probably Pete Fields Turbo… unless other recommendations?… was also looking for someone to do the engine work
-
So they’ll be ok taking the engine out… 750 Slabby with B12 engine?… they don’t mind bloody knuckles?
What about the forks/swingarm & wheels for rolling it around !?
Thank You… guess I can always ask them… so 2 recommendations… anymore !?
-
What’s the best way to prep an engine for a Turbo… just take your whole engine for all the engine work to a tuner… then stick engine in the bike… then take bike to a Turbo maker?
Any recommendations in the UK for engine work?

These are all the pics I have
-
OO-ER… mystery… lol… I need to sell it but don’t know what to list it as

Yes. Exampe 750wr/ws, but...
So that’s a BJX as well?… same as B12 !?

Thanks Guys… the Black ones are BJX… which after looking seem to be B12
Sorry… they have both been made to fit Slabby 750F swingarm
The white ones are BJR so possibly Slingshot?… 750 or 1100?
-
Parts game… lol… what 5.5” wheels are these… black wheel has smooth the other white wheel bumpy on the sprocket side… also one sprocket has 5 mounting holes the other 6
Any help much appreciated
-
Hi guys… is there a chart or does anyone know how to tell what model bikes these relate to please?… got them in a bundle of Suzuki bits… Many Thanks

I went for a Slabby one in the end of E-Bay
-
Are the Slabby & Slingshot steering stems identical?... I know the whole front end fits on complete... been there... done that... & on fiches they only list the whole bottom tree so can’t see if part numbers match... tried the search function... just wondering if there are any differences between the two Actual stems Side by side... wanting to fit a completely different front end (Buell) & wondering what’s the best stem to use for my 750F frame !!
Cheers
Slabby 750… longer shock?

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