you guys never heard of front wheel drive
I saw a security video years ago, it was a custom built van and yeah a couple of blokes in the back with a winch, it was sound proofed to help hide the sound of an alarm.
i don't need to prove anything to anyone by the way, if you don't believe me i don't give a shit.

talking of security, have you seen them van's that have the floor cut out ? they open the rear doors reverse over the bike and shut the doors, then lift up the bike and their off

I used to work for Crooks Suzuki and he has many parts for the old bikes . upstairs is an Alladins cave, worth giving him a ring.

when i got the 1100 engine for my ET the comp was down a bit and it smoked a tad, but after 500 miles the comp is up to a reasonable amount and no more smoke. yeah it had been standing for quite a while.

I run a 170 on a 600 SRAD wheel in the stock arm - with a 170 tyre......its piggin' close with a new chain , but OK once its done a few hundred miles
that doesn't look like a standard GSX1100ET swingarm in your pic !!!!!!!
when I fitted a B6 wheel with a 150 tyre into an ET swinger the edge of the tyre was up tight against it when the wheel was pushed right forward, but with a slightly longer chain the wheel sat further back and had enough clearance. and im sure a B12 wheel with a 180 tyre would of rubbed against the swinger.

When id got it running, cylinder 1 wasnt getting hot, it was also pissing fuel out the hose, so taking it to the shop, they originally said it was a carb issue, so new kits on all the carbs etc but after faffing with it they have now changed it to knackered rings.
Prior to it coming off the road it was running fine, just smelt a little lean, but now smokes like a coal fire and wont run above 3k, to me it still sounds carb related but im not technically savvy enough to disagree with the shop, which i find highly irritating.
you need to find a proper bike shop

That's great... I wanted to use the original swinger if possible with a 600 wheel. Other than spacing is there ant great issues with fitting the bandit rear calliper etc?
Many thanks.
if you are using the OEM swinger then you will only get the B6 wheel in with a 150 tyre, the B12 wheel/tyre is too wide. you will need to use a bandit calliper hanger so it matches the bandit disc, but because the torque arm is on top you will need a GS 500 calliper as they are top mounted.

Cheers for that. Rear swinger? I have no idea yet.. bandit 6 or 12 with shock lugs welded on.? Or is there a simpler (cheaper) option?
Also is the stem swap a simple press out press in? Or is it a bush to be made?
you can use the OEM aluminium swinger or a B12 one, dont use a B6 arm their not as stiff. you can press out your gsx stem and use it in the bandit yoke.

saying that I put a B12 wheel (and swinger) in my GSX1100 ET, my chain runs close to the frame and the edge of the tyre and even when the chain is slack i haven't had any contact with the tyre or frame.

as wraith said a stem change on the yokes, if you use a B6 rear wheel you will have to machine the sprocket carrier down some, but you will have to offset the front sprocket a bit to get the chain straight. what swinger will you use ? you will have to change the calliper hanger and possibly the calliper as well.

Enysford Garage near Sevenoaks is owned by an oil cooled gsxr nut. I’m sure he’d be able to help you out
sounds like a safe bet

its running rich on no3, (over fueling) could be a leaking float valve.

Can anyone advise if they have found a rear wheel sprocket carrier that fits a standard 1200 bandit wheel and brings the width down to help sprocket alignment?
thanks
yep, a GSX750/1100 1980-82 fit the B12 wheel. I used one on mine (GSX750ET) also an offset front sprocket needed.

the cases are a matched pair so should stay together, but I bet someone has done it

If the seal has a lip on the outer edge then its a crank case split

stick an 1100/1200 engine in it, a lot easier.
