I like the slave cylinder set up, looks cool

it wasn't a 600 bandit carrier i used it was one off a gsx600f, they have a lower sprocket surface but still need machining down, if I remember right it was about 10mm ???

what about a frame ? you can pick em up pretty cheap with a V5

you can use the B6 wheel and spacers in a B12 swinger.

people who sell bikes in such a dangerous condition should be hanged, drawn and quartered

somebody has seriously bodged that front end the stem should be an interference fit.

is it not short for CADboard

yep, they are taking the piss their but cheaper ones come up from time to time. welding in a new piece is probably the way to go.

the lower removable rail is not available as a separate part from Suzuki, you have to buy a full frame !!!!! the mk1 1200 has bolt on engine mount the 600 has a welded engine mount, im sure they will fit but wouldn't look right they do come up on the bay or you can weld in a new section.

your a better man than me, I just don't have the patience

feck me thats a lot of prep !!!!!!!!! the bit I dont like about painting probably because im crap at it Ive been putting off doing the tank on my GS !!! but I might have another tank lined up ??????

not the right way to run a business

nice baldrick, how did you do that ?

I did 2 under warranty where the frame cracked at the rotary mount, Suzuki never wanted any warranty stuff back except the frame headstock !!!!!! I had to cut the headstock off both frames, bloody shame as the tiny crack in the mounts could of easily be welded and re-enforced

yeah get rid of that silly suspension set up, (and check your frame for cracks) ive replaced 2 frames because of cracked frames but to be honest they could of been welded !!!!!

Ive seen that orange bike Toni, I think it works, its a revers of the black with orange decals

yeah they might be due a service

plugs look ok. it might be time to pull the carbs off for a clean/check. have you got a compression tester ? it wouldn't hurt to check the compression.

what does #3 plug look like, is it wet/sooty ?

I originally used 2 flat strips of ally with a bend in them, then when fitted to the fairing with the screen on I bent the flat strips to an angle I was happy with, then transfered the angle to some sheet ally.

if he's using the OEM swinger then GS 500 calliper and hanger are used as the torque arm is on top not underneath

yeah I should of said, I did a 530 conversion. with the sprocket on the shaft the splines no longer protrude past the edge of the sprocket but just slightly under. still plenty of splines driving the sprocket. this give me enough room to clear the tyre. yeah I do everything on the cheap

yep it does look well, but I like bandit's

Ive got a 4.5inch bandit 600 wheel in my GSX750, to get the chain to run equally between the frame and the edge of the 150 rear tyre I used a thickish washer behind the front sprocket to offset it, the problem their is you cant use the lock washer as the sprocket sits at the end of the splines. but the sprocket i used has 2 drilled and tapped holes in it so i made a plate to sit up against the sprocket nut to stop it from coming loose. then i had to get the rear sprocket carrier machined down so the sprocket was closer to the tyre. the chain is in line and I have loads of room from the frame and tyre.
