This is my more usual ride. Air/oil cooled GSF1200K2. I'm wondering if that oil cooler will go in better than the one thats been put in. Anyone tried it on a GSX motor? My other rides are RF900RS2 but I wont offend the air cooled with a couple of water cooled bike photos. But trust me they are almost bog standard. I allow the cut down rear mudguard and stuck on rear reflectors as getting a full mudguard with the reflector low down is hi on impossible. So I do make small allowances. But what I am asking is beyond what I know by far. Cheers.

This is the sort of thing that I do. As close to original as I cant get.

Hi All. I'm SuzukiMad and I like to buy and restore old bikes...... I recently, like 2 weeks ago bought my original old GSX1100ESD back. She's seen some life and a few alterations along the way. For me it's a nightmare. I like my bikes stock original as per the parts manual and if its altered the first thing I do is take it off. Well if I do that with this there would be half the bike in the workshop and the other half outside in the bin. I have never customised a bike I've owned other than putting an after market exhaust on in my life. I know the ESD wasn't fitted with an oil cooler so I want that off but am told that the oil filter housing will be have been swapped for another to make the oil bypass. You cant buy the original nuts that blank the pipes off so the coolers got to stay. The PO has removed all the Suzuki bolts and fitted stainless steel ones! My Suzuki bolt OCD is working overload here. I mean its £200 just to replace the ones you can see on an engine! So to my questions. Can you guys help me please. I have no idea whats going to fit and work but make it look OK. First up, I need to sort out an exhaust. I have two headers. One is a 4 into 1 that joins right below the oil drain and wont allow you to change oil without dropping the exhaust each time. The other is a Motad Neta off a GSX750ESD (what I've been told) and I don't know if it will fit. What down pipes will fit to give me a modern day can from say a GSF1200/RF900 and access to the oil drain and filter housing to do oil and filter changes. 2nd up. It has a JMC swinging arm on and a fork brace. I have to have a centre stand for parking so the arm has to go. Anyone know what sort of money a JMC arm is worth? Secondly the ESD had a boxed section aluminium swinging arm. It looks very much like a GSX1100ET version from 1980/1981. Does anyone know if they fit. At about £150 its an expensive test if it doesn't go in. I'm not afraid of spannering just I don't have the knowledge. Cheers S.M.
