im guessing your not going to use a fairing ? why not make some and make a feature out of em ? as they will be on show.

lol, so between us we might be able to make sense !!!!!

as bin said, if you have the CDI and pulse coils then it'll work, but you might have to change/modify connections to the geny and other bits.

ive just reread your first post wraith (im dyslexic), you mean the two bits that wrap around the cylinders ? they are for crash protection as they can be hidden behind a fairing, but they are quite stiff so they will help to keep the frame ridged. theirs nowt stopping you leaving them off but it might not help the handling !!!!

do you mean the two frame rails that cradle under the engine ? if so suzuki fitted them for a reason to give the frame strength. without them it will flex and their will be only the two engine mounts at the rear.

dont worry wraith, people mocked and laughed at the elephant man but he was a nice guy underneath

maybe your clutch need looking at ?

its just letting you know its changed gear

if anyone is interested i got hold of a NOS spindle for £12, and the length is 330mm not including the head.

agree John, yeah one of the things i did on the 750 was sort out the bodged wiring and do away with the light loop, its still running an original oem R/R and it still charges perfect (for now) the old motors where over engineered which makes them last, the engine in mine is so quiet for a 40 year old not like my 1200 bandit engine.

they do, but someone asked the question about USD's

USD stanchions can be a rite bitch to remove, the grub screw normally seizes in but if you get that out unscrewing the stanchion is really tight. i did one of my legs a few months ago, will not do it again unless i have all the right gear, much easier getting a shop to do it.

looking down the bore of the carbs are all the throttle butterflies fully closed ? if so it could be an air leak.

if i go for an 1100 AC engine it would be left standard, im not bothered about having a 130 bhp im happy with an engine that has lots of torque and low down grunt

the carb spacing is different on mk2's compared to mk1's . you might have problems lining them up ? but not sure if you can find rubbers to match.

when you have that many kids you cant afford many projects most of em have gone but still got 2 at home, the 2 bloody girls

i like engines with a roller bearing crank. yeah i know they can twist but but a pretty strong bottom end.

also double check the chain alignment is ok.

ha ha yeah theirs 7 of em

gona have to sell some of the kids and start saving up for one

got ya

why ?

can't say ive ever seen one of them for sale ????

on a similar vain i put a 1200 bandit engine into a Z1100 shaft frame, i know the engine is smaller than a GS1000 but as bin said loads of room for a wide swingarm and plenty of room for the chain.

ha ha yeah then it'll go
