I ended up swapping it back, It was playing on my mind too much so I got another gasket and swapped it over, luckily no m6 threads stripped along the way lol

anyone converted a 1400 to carbs ?

Probably easier to run a separate fuel pump instead of in tank like the 1400. Not a lot of room in the gsx 1100 without major mods. Also loose a bit of fuel capacity. Much easier to transfer bodywork to 1400 frame. But then it's a 1400 with 1100 bodywork on...again not that straight forward.
their is a few 1400 owners who fit an external fuel pump, theirs plenty of room under the seat for one.

really like the look of the 1400 ET, thats what Im thinking about with my 1400, it would be a bit easier to fit/modify ET bodywork to the GSX1400 frame, that way I get to keep the standard wheels and suspension, their will be a lot of work modifying an ET tank though.

what year is your GSX engine ? 83's where mostly welded at the factory.

if it was me I'd correct it just for piece of mind.

bandit is monoshock, ez is twin shock. you might get the swingarm in, but youve got to fit suspension to it.
he said he will make shock mounts for it but didn't say if he's going single or twin !!!!!!

I'm not too fussed about the big tyre thing tbh, my main concern is being able to get some sticky rubber on there and there's plenty of choice in the 160, 170 and 180 widths for 17" rims. So rather than try to squeeze the widest possible into it I'll probably compromise at 170/55 and save myself some work.
yeah i agree, but still better than the original skinny wheels

yeah i think a 180 is about the biggest you can go on our old bikes, any bigger then as dezza says lots of machining.

some say vapour blasting is better as it closes the pores in the ally, but ive no idea if thats true or not

mine with a 180 and a 530 chain. their was 2mm from the frame to the chain and about the same on the tyre side. never had any contact with the frame as no paint was scratched off

A 180 is doable, but chain run is tight to frame. A couple of mm at best. Can notch the frame to suit with good results. I've machined sprocket carrier a couple of mms to suit and 3/8 offset front sprocket what have you to line things up accordingly. You Can do all of that and also run a 170 tyre to be on the safe side. 180 tyres don't always measure true 180 depending on manufacturer when fitted. I've had some chains kiss the rear tyre and others not. Hence why I dropped to a 170. Albeit, 170 tyres limit your manufacturer/tyre options.
yeah had a 180 on mine, and bang on with the width of different makes of tyre, they do differ.

Is a swingarm of a Bandit 12 not an option ? With some small parts it fits without modifying the frame
yes a bandit swinger will fit easy, you will need to get some tophat spacers made or just sleave it down from 20mm to 16mm.

a riveted cam chain is perfectly fine if done correctly

wrap some masking tape round the stator 2 times or so then fit the cover, turn the engine over by hand a few times and pull the cover off for a look see.

I’m going to strip it back down this weekend. It was working before I changed the plates and springs. It’s obvious I must have messed up something
as I said check the cable as well.
-
has you clutch cable got an adjuster half way down its length ? make sure the cable is all the way in ALL the adjusters, one at the clutch lever, one half way down the cable and one on the top of the crankcase.
