Swiss Toni

Aye, I think I will!

Change the motor out to 1127 or 12. Have your fun out of it, the re-fit the 750 motor when (if) you sell it.

That's got a nice, aggressive stance, Rick!

Just google Alf Hagon or Hagon Products. Should get you somewhere. Mine was around £280 if I remember correctly. They may also have a distributor in the US or Canada.

Cheers guys. I'll have a look at 'Suzuki Silver Suzi' and see what turns up!

Was Silver a factory option, or has he just done the silver with decals from Black/Blue bike?

Funny you should say that! A Spencer rep, with modern running gear and an 1127 motor (Suzuki, of course), has been in the back of my mind for a while!

Good to see you back again bud! Let's see some pics of the 1100E then?

Anyone know whose paintwork this is? I saved the 'photo off someone's project, but I can't remember if it was from the old OSS, or Proboards? Mine's due for the bodywork getting done. I was going to get it done in the Black/Blue, but I'd like to see this Silver/Blue on the bike before I make up my mind. So....who's is it???

Dunno if anything else fits? Mine's got a Hagon on it. They're supposed to be good!

Why an R? Why not an S? They look better imho, and have 'chutzpah'!

Might be able to help you out there then! Have you got the original ET disc centres, or are they one piece?

Try both Robinsons. If not in stock, they'll be able to order them. Start saving your pennies up now, they 'ain't cheap!

......or Toni!

A good job well done.

These collar nuts on '85 Slabbie fairings. Used for bolting top, sides and belly pan together. Can they be removed without cracking the panels, or should I leave well enough alone? Getting paintwork done shortly. Was originally blue/white, but I quite like the red/ black combo too!

Oh, and...hello!

Or get in touch with Suzuki? If this 'Type Approval' is a bi-annual thing, and you're happy to continue using the 1100 wheel, I'd buy and fit a 750 wheel, get it approved, then put your 1100 wheel back in when the TA guys have gone back into the woodwork!

G'day, Syncro. Welcome!

Agree 100% with say what now!?! Always stick labels on un-finished jobs. Saves a lot of hassle in the long run. Glad to hear you're getting on top of it!

Cheaper option would be Paraffin. Put it in a spray bottle and go mad. And I mean MAD!!! You need loads of fluid in there. I had a problem along the same lines. I dropped the sump of my 1127 motor to find lumps of the starter motor cover in it. 13 bits, to be precise! There appeared to be no damage, but once the seed's been planted...full strip! The more time you spend now in getting the swarf out,the better. If, on the other hand, the motor's previously had oil in it, and not waiting for fresh oil after a rebuild, I'd personally strip and wash it all out again! I know it's expensive, and a pain in the arse, but...can you live with it? Lots of luck!

You can do it yourself if you've access to welding gear. The small bearing sleeve with the two lugs on it? If you fab up lugs very slightly longer, you raise the ride height. It's a bit 'Trial & Error'. But, after you do it the first time, you'll know if you've gone too long! So, just tack things up to begin with, until you're happy with the height. You could make a pair up with multiple holes at different centres, pick the height you're comfortable with, then fab up a pair to that length. Saves you making a few sets! However, it might make the handling more 'squirrelly' if you've stuck with the 16" front. Good excuse to go 17". Sorry I can't be more specific, but I did this years (and I mean Donkeys) ago, and the exact measurements are lost in time! I do remember though, a little extra length gives a lot! Be conservative! Maybe when you're successfull, you'll post the length up for the next man? I'm sure I have a spare linkage somewhere if you want to experiment, and not bugger yours up?

No 'photo's.....it didn't happen!

Aye up Florence.....

Not bad, but pricey. I take it that's a photo of the underside of yours? Can you put a pic up of the other side?
