Most of the bits I need now I've sold over the last couple of years, I sold all bandit 12 running gear 3 weeks ago with wavey discs the lot would of been perfect,

Think I'll probably buy a 750 engine in bits and sell the rest of it

Mine will have modern running gear on, but thanks for the info guys

Looks great, top job

I will have to I investigate when I get the engine

Just read this elsewhere a GS1000 big valve head on later motors

I will have look into this, as the engines in bits, so head swapping is not a problem

All good info, thanks. Waiting for this lockdown to be lifted to go collecting parts

That's ace cheers Reinhoud, first job will be strip the engine, get the crank, gearbox and clutch sorted and go from there I think

Dont know what year it is though as it's on a Q

Got this coming in for a long term project

My bank balance might

I've had a read of that, after getting a bit worried I havent got the skills or access to the machinery Reinhoud has, that's what prompted my post, having chatted with a few of the resident turbo guys over the last 24hrs I'm confident it can be done.

750 oil pump should help as well as restriction for oil pressure

Thanks Arttu a big learning curve is needed, but it looks like I'm a glutton for punishment, just bought some NOS GS1000 Wiseco pistons so I think that's my mind made up air cooled turbo here we go

I have done a search and come up with a few issues like oil pressure on the roller bearing crank, but thanks for your input

Looks like GS1000 are 18mm, wonder if the block will take boreing to buse piston size without making the wall to thin, or alternating the crankcase

Advice from the turbo gods needed, never turbo'd a bike before defo not a air cooled dinosaur, bought a GS1000 frame last night for some reason, on a rather handy Q plate, it's going to be a long term project as I've got a butchered Z1-R build on the go and scratch built 327cui small block chevy trike to finish, so I've got the opportunity to buy a Gs1000 engine with the top end disassembled, question is what's required to turbo a GS1000 engine or do i just throw a B12 in because it's easier. I'm not going for massive HP or boost(queue you will when you've got the turbo bug), will probably be going 1085cc if I can get the pistons, I believe they have a roller bearing crank where the oil pressure is to low for the turbo oil feed, how do I get round that, external electric oil pump? Is it the same principle as building a b12 turbo, forged pistons(low comp ratio) can you use busa pistons or card the wrist pins different, get the block bored, maybe welded crank, external oil pump, gasket set, base gasket to set deck height, ape studs and goodies, oh and 750 internal oil pump, what's best for the first turbo adventure Draw through or blow through, thanks in advance I'm on a steep learning curve.

Just read through the thread Stirling work I must say

What's the difference peeps, are the bodywork engines etc interchangeable, will be a special any how so not bother about running gear

Let's get me popcorn

Vf750f pan is a nice shape

Think I would like to see a 916 style seat back there

PS: I love that bike

Excellent, staying in the family, everyone happy all round
