Havoc

Sander's beautiful Bakker is coming to live at my house. In the living room if Suzanne lets me Very happy chappy. X

Yup, it rides great. Very strong engine. I should have put the new tyres on first though, 25 year old rubber is scary.... Even dafter considering the new tyres are in the back of my van....

Those photos were taken the day I customized my foot......

I did something similar with a Slabby and a GS 30 odd years ago ;) Reliving my yoof?

I'll find out on Saturday, once I've put new tyres on it and got it an MOT and given it some new oil, filter and plugs.

I'm a jammy git. Turns out I bought a Pip Higham GS1085 that has been in hiding the last 20 years. Neither the seller or I was aware of the bike's providence Happy Daze

GSXR1100G Slab Side mine are not in good condition. Repair or blank off? Thanks

Afternoon all. Do people use 525 or 520 having installed fatter wheels in their Slabby? I thank you

Evening brothers. GS1085 Slabby will be presentable by then, not finished paintwise but something to look at. Count me in, DrBig will be there also so people can have a thrash on it...Rene

Good afternoon oracles. There are some GS1000 inlet rubbers on evil bay at a very reasonable price but they specify that they're not suitable for the G or S model. How are these inlet tracks different from say the E? Thanks There will be a new bank of RS36s going in them.

I'm still hoping to bring the DR Big along but it's dependant on the health of my father. I don't think I can be relied on, will visit if I can't do the whole thing.

It's possible Suzanne and I are in London that weekend. Young Gods are playing the O2. I'll keep you posted, I'll know very shortly.

Excellently put together stand Mr Morris. Nice to see different stuff, cheers The TR is gorgeous, the RGV, Ross's was a bit dirty but I believe he's been busy. JB's Martin and the EFs are ace. Dez's ET is going to be awesome. And Jaffa, fuck that's loud man.....

He started the frame surgery after about 8 pages. Not very neat though. I will do the same dimension changes to top rails, bottom rails and front rails but so as you'll not be able to tell. It'll be cool I have a cut up frame to nick correct extrusion bits from. Head stock will be about 6mm higher than stock, will not overly effect rake with standard forks. The new CNC router at work will make the slugs...

Perfect Arttu, I reckon I could do the frame neater than that

Dan Hegarty gave me the motor just before he went off to Macau, he took an OSS Slabby round the classic TT the year before. XR41 ish tribute bike.

Like putting an FJ in a GSX then but ally. I do have access to 2 chopped up Slabby frames so sourcing short lengths of the necessary extrusion won't be an issue. I've got other stuff to do first, like rebuild the engine and the shafty to fiddle with. I've been more sober over the last couple of months than at any other point in the last 35 years... X

Is there any info on the site or the available archives that details the modifications required to fit a GS1000 lump in an 1100 Slabby frame? Thanks

As mentioned Saturday, DrBig definitely in if you think it's appropriate.

I've spend nearly £800 in the last 2 years rebuilding mine, twice, and it's just gone again. Not rebuilding it again....

I reckon I can get a spindle made up for less wonga than a couple of bearings and a spacer..

Need to make a new front spindle though. DR 800 is 15mm and the Talon hub is 16mm, I wouldn't feel comfortable with a 0.5mm walled spacer.

Don't know, I suspect Borrani but they were pretty rough before I had them powder coated. Accel rims from a DRZ400SM would be as good as any..

Next I would look for an air leak between carbs and head, can often be the cause of reluctant return to tickover. Cracked inlet rubber or missing balance plugs..

Just for info, heavy turbo charged GSXs aren't suitable....
