Hi, not sure if you are still looking but if you search fleabay for 'GSX-R 1100 91/92 Streetfighter Heck Höcker seat' there's German company selling ones which seem to follow the lines quite nicely. Make sure the search is "Worldwide" . cheers

I have a set of Fastec Crash bungs that they do for 1200 Blandit's, seems to be a lot of that style about. I am limited on points to bolt anything else on apart from front and / or rear engine mounts on the frame but will see if can get some nylon or such like bungs and try and make something fit as well.

Cheers...Yep i know there is a risk with this, but i a have built a Cafe Racer using a Hard Up Choppers frame and a lot of 1100M running gear and these will bolt straight one, but i am also thinking i should probably try and fit something to front engine mounts on the frame as well ...

Hi, i am going to fit some crash bungs to my 1991 1100M motor and will be bolting them on using the the 4 side plug fittings but i cannot see a torque value in my manual for these, it does show a value for the 1100K motors but these are different to 1100M motors but wonder if the torque value is the same? For the 1100K my manual says 25-30N-m or 18-21.5 ib-ft. Can anyone if this applies to the 1100M as well? Cheers Rojo

Hi, i used them to rebuild / repaint and put all stainless fittings on all 3 calipers on my 1100M and i was please with the result,although they are not cheap. But the calipers look and feel brand new. My bike had been well abused before i got it and the calipers were pissing out fluid, and were a light grey colour, once i finally got 25 years worth of shite off them.Having never really found a decent brake fluid resistant paint to paint calipers in when i tried in the past i weighed up how much it would cost for me to get them vapor blasted and coated somewhere and then buy all new seals / bolts and pistons (i need be) and decided sending them off and getting them back a couple of weeks later was just an easier option. I would use them again, but of course this is only my opinion. Cheers Rojo

Hi, can any advise me on the the 2 swinging arm thrust washers Suzuki list as part numbers 08211-20381 and 08211-20382. The first one is listed as 1mm thick, the second is 1.5mm thick, but the parts diagram i have both shows them as number '7' on the picture with no indication which side either one should be fitted to? So as sat on the bike does any one know which side the 1.5mm washer needs to go? When i dropped my swinging arm out it only had one washer which i didn't notice until it dropped on the floor and i didn't see which side it came from. I have just had my frame / swinging are painted and want to sling it back together asap but need to know which side these fit, any help much appreciated. Cheers Rojo

Captain, I was probably using the wrong terminology, my thinking was if the pitch was smaller, the diameter of the spockets would need to be slightly smaller to still have the same amount of teeth, thus it would effect the speed, (slightly)...anyway it is a moot point as the pitch is the same. I didn't mean to hijack the original question posed, so hopefully Jay got the answers he was after. Cheers.

Looks like i was talking twaddle earlier...for some reason i had assumed the pitch on a 532 and a 530 chain would be slightly different, hence i assumed this would would have a slight change of gearing. Luckily my stupidity has been pointed out and i have just seen the pitch is the same at 15.88mm ...

Just checked my parts manual for my 91M 1100, front sprocket is 15t, (part number 27510-48B00) rear is 48t (part number 64511-40C01), not sure if this helps any? ... I have a yet to be fitted 530 chain conversion using a superprox rear sprocket which is 48t and renthal front sprocket on 15t...i totally forgot changing the pitch of chain could change the gearing. Will be interesting to see if i notice much difference...

Hi, not sure model 1100 you are referring to, i just checked my 1991 1127M Slingshot and on my standard adjusters its an M8 thread, i have set of trick stainless steel ones and again it's M8. Hope this helps!

Hi, for a hugger try contacting 'Katana' on this site, I was looking for a hugger (which I have now got), he offered me 3... I got it else where so he may still have them.

Wow, the bike screams oldskool attitude, love it, great build.

Ok, thanks guys, looks like something for me to try once i get it all legal. Can anyone tell if you are able to slot the top left screw hole? Having just seen a piccy of an 1100M back plate on Fleabay it looks like there's bugger all to slot in that corner as the screw hole is right near the edge anyway...The Parts PDF i have shows a similar picture, so do you just rely on the other 2 screws to hold it all in place? Cheers

Hi, Jaydee, i was erring on around 25mm as a 'guesstimate', so thanks for providing the thickness of the standards clip ons, i'll have a play and see what things feel like. Cheers

So i am nearing the end of my project build i it has just dawned on me that i may need drop my forks through the yokes a bit. I have clip-ons fitted under the yokes and the top of my forks are a couple of mm above the top yoke, but i have just realised on a standard 1127 Slingshot the bars bolt on above the top yoke and thus the forks must be dropped through the yokes by 'X' amount to get these to fit. Can any one tell me by how much? I know there may be a degree of individual set up / preference but i think starting from standard my be a good place to begin... My donor bike was streetfightered (badly) with wide bars on risers so i have no point of reference. The bike will mainly be used on the road and maybe the odd track day. Cheers

Hi, my 1100M is running k+N's, dyno jet kit and micron race down pipes mated to lightly baffled end cans (4-2). Would there be much to gain by fitting a 4 degree ignition advancer? I realise there isn't going to be a huge horse power increase, but wondering about pick up / response / smoother delivery etc? Just wondering what people experience is with lightly modded motors like mine? At £50ish it seems a fairly cheep mod, but is it worth doing?

Hmmm, that would suggest it's still alive in some form then, it was a blinding bike at the time, not sure if the manufacturers used to tweak press bikes as was the rumour, but for a 750 it was bloody quick. Unfortunately the dealer was a bit of a 'Geezer' and i was young and naive, so his offer to fit a full race D+D and set it up was too good to miss. Had the tosser actually jetted for it i may may not have burned out 15 of the 16 valves 2 weeks before i was supposed to be going to Le Mans for a hoon with the boys. Not a happy bunny.

Well i am back in fold with my 1100M build...so i beg forgiveness...i have seen the light!

Hi, after being on the site for a week or so, it's got me all nostalgic and made me think of the GSXR750L i owned many moons ago. It then got me thinking to what happened to it. The bike i had turned out to be a Suzuki press bike as it was featured in Performance Bikes mag as it had been loaned to them. I did not find this out till after i got the bike from a dealer in Reading and then one of my mates showed me the article on the 750L and i thought hang on, that number plate looks familiar! I bought the bike in Reading in the early 90's and flogged it to Carnells (remember them) in Peterborough as i'd traded it for a 94 Blade when they came out (yeah, i know, don't slate me for it...i was a bloody good bike...well till me brother cartwheeled it on a trackday). So anybody know what happened to G764RAP, either before i owned it or after?

Nice loking bike, always loved the GSXR's in Red / Black / White, i had a 750L in those clours back in day (when i didn't have grey hair and all my own teeth! ).

Hi Sam-Jaffa, i too have an 1100M and have trawled 'that site' for a shed load of bits for it. I have PM'd you a link for ones being advertised as fitting the 1100M specifically. It's a UK company, though i suspect the levers are straight outta China!

As a newbie i am humbled and in awe of the sheer talent a lot of people on this site have. Following this with great interest.

Very nice indeed, love the back end, who made the seat unit?

Here's some footage after i got the bike back from having the motor set up on a dyno a few weeks ago... https://video-cdg2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hvideo-xta1/v/t42.1790-2/11287069_371384669718810_1301681226_n.mp4?efg=eyJybHIiOjk4OCwicmxhIjo1OTl9&rl=988&vabr=549&oh=126625fe26978074ca8fd1ef5bccb746&oe=55A69442 Bike is not cosmetically finished by a long shot...frame /bodywork needs painting etc and various other bits need anodising or polishing, so please don't judge it on how it looks currently...

Yeah very similar looking... i would have used the Dan Moto ones if i'd got the original down pipes but my donor bike came with a full Micron on and i thought the down pipes would be worth retaining and getting the rest custom made. My end cans were from an UK company that Supplies the bike trade, cos Graham at HUC gave me the website address so i could chose some cans that he then ordered. Not sure if they only did, trade and buggered now if i can remember the name of the company. I bought a set of the Dan Moto adjustable clip ons got got really frustrated trying to set them up so got a set of Harris ones for about £25! Will probably have another go at fitting them at some point though, once i am finally happy with where everything else is going...
