Ps , sounds like you have the gsxr1100 ghj 1052cc one.

As far as I know there are two types on the oil cooled motor's one has (I think) a 32mm piston and the other has (I think as for both can't remember the exact size ) 40mm. Both seem to work OK, as I've used both sizes on Mrs W gsxr1100k and on my gsxf power kat. I believe the bigger ones are off b12?

Left

Cheers, you always seem to come up with the answers to my daft questions

Just needed to check as you could put it in with the arrow/writing in on the left or the right? So I'm thinking writing on the left ?

Welcome to OSS The project looks very nice and looks like it's going to be a nice bike must say I like both tanks on the bike.

Sorry one more dum question The front wheel, how do you know which way round it goes in the forks/fit the tyre and disc's? There is a arrow on one of the Spock's. I know its a daft question but I'm abit oldskool and only had wheels with speedo drives on the wheel before so to me this is very modern stuff

Another daft question looking at a set of rwu srad600 forks, by they say they are off a k1,k2,k3 bike would this be right as I thought the srad was 98-2000? Any info please.

There are two on eblag for £100, but both have been stud for quite some time (was thinking of them myself, but decided not). Seen them come up for less that £100 but most seem to be asking for around £250.

Sorted

Can anybody tell me if the mk2 b12 front master cylinders (brake and clutch) are the same as mk1? Will the leavers swop etc. Thanks.

Nice one, thanks.

As you will know, the gsxr cams give more top end power over the standard b12 cams. The jr5 (I believe) will give the same sort of boost as you got when you swiped the b12 for the gsxr. Hope this helps, without going into slotted can sprockets etc.

OK all, Sorting the DOT head I have, for the B12 motor that I'm rebuilding for the et project. My question is as I have a full gasket set for the B12, can I use the valve oil seals from the B12 on the DOT head valve oil seals ? Thanks

Welcome to OSS. Two nice rides you have there

Cheers all, can now do some playing with front end.

You could say, get a big stick, and if that dose not work get a bigger hammer, and if dose not work, get a fat mate.

That's a good question, I know, using a GS/GSX 750,1000,1100 frame to get the ground clearance about 760mm ( or should I say I'm using gsxr1100k on my kat ) but this will be for a gs650 framed project, so may get away with a shorter fork?

The gsxr750 slingshot are 730mm (rwu) the gsxr1100 slingshot are apx 760mm, don't know about the RF6 but, I fort the srad forks where 45mm diameter? Something in the back of my head says the RF6 forks where 41mm diameter?

Looking at some gsxr600 srad (96-98 rwu) forks for a project, and I need to know what length they are? Was told by one person they are 775mm? Someone else told me 730mm? Both from top to center of spindle. Any help thanks.

I've always done the piece of steel bar (same as the wood but stronger) and it works every time just make you use a good seized bar once used a 25mm tube and ended up bending it now use a 20mm solid steel bar, with a 24" breaker bar. Job done

OK all, I have a set of gsxr1100 slingshot rwu forks on my Kat, I have got some progressive fork springs from a b12 mk1. Will the b12 springs fit the gsxr1100? Cheers.

Check your STARTER MOTOR, as they are a 30 year old part and they may work but will be worn and can course slow turning over of the engine and power drain on the battery

Looking nice, as to the cranking slow, try a different starter or new brushes also try a extra earth wire (coming from one of the two 6mm bolts that hold the starter motor in place and run it to the frame/battery)

Hi, Has anybody got any sizes for the gsxr750srad/gsxr1000 water cooled (carb model) motors? Main thing total high from top of can cover to top of sump cover? If anybody has a pic of one that would help as well, as I can see the angle of the carbs and how they relate to the rest of the motor. Thanks.
