black/sooty plug is a rich mixture, did you do a bench test before refitting them ? it could be a leaking float valve making the mixture over fuel.

looks the muts nuts Joseph

when I bought my used GSX1100L years back the OEM damper was fecked, I priced up a new one out of interest and it was over £700 and at the time you could get an Ohlins fully rebuildable and better than the OEM one for £350 !!!!!

it might be worth thinking of using the 32mm carbs that are on the 750 for the 1200 engine, I did this on my Katzuma project and loved the way it ran, it had a lot more bottom end and mid range and still would pull 130mph.

did I see that on bgay ? time for a 1200 engine

I think I'd be trying a cable conversion

wheels look great on the bike, looking forward to seeing it finished

same with a chrome bandit one in good nick !!!! if you do find one it won't be cheap

as long as you don't piss them off

im sure i saw that bike in mad max

im not %100 on the width of the Metmachex swinger compared with the B12 one, if its the same width then yeah the wheel will fit. B600 will fit a lot easier with chain alignment. their can be an issue with tyres, different makes of 180 can be wider than others even though they are the same fitment, some have a wider edge !!!!!

Hi Nick, what swingarm do you have ? ive used B12 rear wheel with a GSX1100 sprocket carrier but I used a B12 swingarm as well. you will need an offset front sprocket to get the chain in line, the 530 chain will be close to the frame and the edge of the tyre but on mine I had no contact. using the B12 swinger you can use all the spacers and calliper hanger and calliper. for more chain clearance you could go down to a 525 chain kit.

here's one of them boring streetfighters with twin headlights I built earlier

helps with human body parts as well

feck !!!! thats a bodge by the P.O.

I made mine out of bits of angle iron, it does have wheels but cant see them in this pic.

just cleaned my set of B12 carbs and no holes in the pilot jets.

like I said Joseph, Ive had good results with Dowty seals

not a problem mate, I was a bit out of order as well, but as some will know I lost one of my best mates last week, and ive just got over covid and to top it off ive got fecking toothache and not much sleep !!!!!!!! all forgotten sorry to Joseph as well, hope you sort your leak.

You do know he'll put you on the nauty list !!!!

I often put a bit of sealant on the fuel tap screws along with new washers, even though I know the washers will do their job theirs nowt wrong with a bit of extra piece of mind knowing theirs less of a chance of a leak, especially when it comes to petrol.

grow up

I don't care what list you place me in !!!!!! putting a bit of sealant on any thread thats holding a gas or liquid isn't a bad thing. if it improves the chances of stopping a leak then all good, especially petrol over a hot engine.

to me that him saying he can see the fuel leaking from them !!!! but if you wan't to split hairs

I think Joseph already said its leaking form the screws !!!!!!
