  1. a popular front end is off the GSXR1100 from the early 90's. but finding a good set of forks is getting harder, but a pretty easy swop.
  2. can i join in ? B12 with triumph front end, actually longer than standard B12 forks.
  3. you could always fit the airbox for now and get it on the road, then pull the carbs off and sacrifice the airbox by cutting it so it can be removed !! on my Katzuma it didn't look that bad as i didn't use the chrome covers. but a bit of carbon wrap might look ok.
  4. this bike was a ground up build, started with the 750 frame and fitted a B12 engine, the problem i had was the B12 carb tops got in the way of the tank so went with the B600 32mm carbs, I decided to use a zuma airbox to save fucking around with jetting, it all worked out perfect with no changes to the settings of the carbs. its the same set up a 1200 inazuma uses and also the GS1200SS. I also like the way the bike runs with smaller carbs with the increase of bottom end and mid range grunt. im doing the same thing with the GS im building atm. by the way you can't fit or remove the airbox with the engine in place, yeah i found out the hard way
  5. I don't know !!! with a bit of ingenuity it could be slimed down and strengthened with gussets. just having a look at my Katzuma project pic.
  6. yeah ive looked for a tap with the lever with 50mm spacing and had no luck !!!! the tap on my ET tank is 50mm but would prefer a RES position as I probably won't have/use a fuel gauge.
  7. I did contemplate fitting an ET tank to my zuma but couldn't find anyone local who would take the tank mod's on, thats why i went down the Kat route. could of got the frame modified but decided against it in the end. I think the frame mod is the way to go as you could fit other tanks if needed at a later date.
  8. you will have to do some major surgery on the underside of the ET tank to make it fit, or modify the frame. !!! as to footrest hangers i used some thick ally plate and made my own, could never find zuma ones in the UK, but they doo come up sometimes over in France. if you click on the pic and zoom in you can see the hangers i made and bolted bandit pegs to it
  9. the tanks are getting hard to find and fecking expensive but they look good on a zuma
  10. bandit footrest won't fit the zuma frame, completely different. as to the tank i'm with you on that, not keep meself !!!! but you will struggle to find a tank to fit, the top frame rails are to wide for a "normal" tank to fit without some surgery. but a Katana tank fits fairly easy.
  11. its the only way to go
  12. yeah but is he wanting to convert a shaft drive engine to chain !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  13. more info needed, what engine ?
  14. put it on charge for a while then you can do a proper charge test when running
  15. ive seen reg/rec earth wire mounted to the electrical plate which is rubber mounted from the frame before is the battery flat ? should be more Volts than 11.5 though
  16. !!!!!! your gona paint that lovely tank its a work of art.
  17. nice, is it getting polished or painted ?
  18. yes it did wraith, also 1200 inazuma
  19. ive said this before but going down on carb size will increase torque low down and mid range, im going down the same route again with my GS1000 bandit engined project, 32mm carbs again from 36mm.
  20. !!!!!! what was the exact Volt reading at the battery at 5000rpm ? you said it was over 13V, also i remember doing a geny test on a GS750 years ago and im sure the AC was over 70 on all 3 wires which was right. i would of thought yours would be similar, 25AC seams low ????
  21. a drop test on the battery after a full charge would probably tell you if its ok or not, but for the price of a new one I'd just replace it anyway.
  22. how old is the battery ? might be time for a new one.

    Carb tuning

    tuning CV's can be a pain in the ass, my zed needs a bit more tweaking to get perfect (its Nealy their) but on the GS1000 with a B12 engine i'm going down the standard airbox route, its so much easier to tune the airbox to the carbs than tune carbs to pod filters.
