Good match for Suzuki engine grey. Google XHT004.

Engines, straight from the factory, were painted...except the bottom half of the crankcases. Don't ask why, don't know. Having said that, I have a brand new, never been used cylinder head, and to me...it looks painted!

I get 735mm for the B12, and 795mm for the six!

Maybe if you hoisted the front, and came down hard, the absence of the web might enable a buckled rim?

There's a few differences between 'our' GSX's and 'their' GS's, mainly in the emissions dept. Physically, dimensions are the same. So, pipes will fit! Why not contact the supplier, and tell him your engine specs, and he'll advise you?

And this is how you reward the faithfull old girl! By ripping her heart out???

And hello, by the way!

If you ask Kenty on here, very, very nicely, he may be able to help you out!

Lovely! Well worth the time and effort! and...WELCOME!!!

Use o ring stock. No bend. Stack plain plates together and hold up to light. Good way to see warpage.

Can anyone tell me the diameter and length of 750/1100 ET forks? And are both models the same specs?

Was Mozza on old OSS. Just down the road from you in Jarrow!

Still hasn't happened!

Plus, what I was thinking of at the time was, R1 forks fit straight into the M yokes, meaning lighter front wheel, and 'Blue Spot' callipers!

Got new stem made (longer than std. M). Harris supplied bearing, can't remember if it was top or bottom. Not special size bearing, Harris just ream out to match. In my case it was 52mm OD - 30mm ID @‌ £18 plus vat. That was 2006 price.

Another one.

This is mine with 750M forks. Was going to fit ZX9R, but they were shorter again. Massive stanchions 'tho! Ignore the at tank,. Got rid or it ages ago for a Mag 4 one!

Looks good, John! You don't half like your projects, don't you!

Thing is...I'm sure I have either an EFE of 1100 Teapot calliper somewhere! If I can find it, I'll offer it up to the B12 disc/hanger and see if it centres up.

If you've used heat already...the seals are toast! Continue with heat, and touch kids birthday cake candle to nipple threads. Wax (paraffin) will wick down the thread and free it off. Very rarely fails. In the unfortunate event you snap the bleed nipple off...all is not lost! Someone used to sell banjo bolts with a bleed nipple in the top. Can't remember who, 'tho! I would think anyone who supplies hoses/bolts?

Nah Lads...3 different part no's on Alpha!

'Fat Finger' syndrome, old chap!

Anyone know if 1150 EF, 1100 Teapot and 1100 Mk1 B12 are same calipers???

Must be great to open the garage door in the morning and see that lot! Spoilt for choice. Lucky bastard! And no...I'm NOT jealous!...much!

I'd stick with the std. Suzuki plates if I was you. Really can't get better! Expensive...but worth it! I'd also keep the spacers alloy! Filing the slots in the drum, (within reason) is ok. Stack your plain plates in a pile to check for warpage.
