I just picked up a set of used SC36's in really good shape. Sure beats trying to clean 10 years worth of goo out of the stockers.

I know a few people that will recommend grease on the head gasket. Thin layer is meant to help it seat and any excess will just dissipate when running.

I working on fitting a GSXR swing arm to my frame. Is 12 to 13 degrees a good number for the swing arm angle? I would like to get the geometry and wheel / chain alignment all sorted out before i do anything else to her.

Does anybody use the copper head gaskets?

Started tearing into this. Gotta love the previous owner. Robertson screws (well rusted), garbage bag twist ties and household wiring for the indicators.

The piggyback reservoirs on the chinesium shocks are completely fake, and the shocks bend like spagetti. No way I would run them on a heavy bike.

Yup, partzilla is pretty good. Ive got stuff there before, but always shipped to a box in the USA. That way shipping is way faster and there are no extra charges added on for customs. maybe the border will open before I get this thing finished. Orient Express seems to have some good stuff as well.

New member here from Canada. Ive just about finished modifying my 1973 RD350, so I found a new project. I had a Katana 750, 1100 and 1000 stryker with spoked wheels back in the late 80's, early 90's, so when I saw one for sale locally I decided to really impress my wife and add another bike to the garage. Its a 82 750 with an 1100 motor. been standing for 10 years. Im currently pulling it apart to see what is missing, broken or beat to death. Looking online in North America, the only parts fisch I can find is a GS1000s. Can anybody recommend a good online place to buy parts, specifically for the motor..
