[gsx1100 engines]

yeah i hear what you say wraith its all about the cost,  i keep looking for an 1100 motor but they just don't come up !!   back in the mid 80's i built a hardtail chop and put in a big bore 1100 (1260) motor.  as you can imagine it was a lot of engine for a chop  but a guy i know who drag raced heard about my bike and he come round and offered me £800 for the engine !!!! a lot of dosh back then.  yeah i did sell him it and i bought a really clean Z1000 engine for £400   

[Interchangeability of carbs and carb rubbers for oil-cooled engines]

you might be able to clear up a mystery for me here ? i was messing about with an inazuma frame/project, i was gona use a b12 engine but i only had a set of b600 carbs i was gona use till i got a set of b12 carbs.  the 32mm b6 carbs and rubbers went on no problem ( i know the 1200 zuma uses 32mm carbs as does the 1200ss )  but when i opened the throttle it moved just a few mm ? the middle balance adjuster touches the cam chain tunnel on the head.  when i looked up zuma carbs they where the same !!   i checked the zuma rubbers part number and they where just for that model,  so my guess is are the rubbers longer than the 600 so the adjuster will clear ? i couldn't get hold of a set to measure to confirm  !!!!  

[is this from an 1127 ?]

yeah its off the end of the alternator, cant tell you what year though. i think it depends on how many teeth , 28 on a gsxr

[gsx1100 engines]

looking through some of the posts and projects i see some who change the gsx1100 motors for the oil boilers,  i can understand with a 750 but the 11's are quit tuneable. i know the gsx is a very heavy engine but what other reasons do they get changed ?

[GSX side panel badges]

[GSX side panel badges]

I'm too fat and old to benefit from stuff like that so it's bandit forks we go! 

cheers

600 bandit forks are very soft, upgrading the springs and oil will make them better.

i use stainless allen bolts on the bandit with copper grease,  i try to take them out once a year for a clean up and regrease 

[swingarm shaft length]

hi guys, does anyone know the length of the standard swingarm spindle on a 1980 GSX750ET ?  i want to use the OEM rear footrest hangers but the spindle on it is to short,  it needs to be about 20mm longer. cheers.  looks like the P.O. has changed it at some point.
