I remember an Aussie Chap on the old site having a set up that some old engineering mate of his was regularily buiding using standard heads, 1100 gsxr sleeves(bored to take Mk 1 Busa piston, are the small ends the same size ?) into EFE Barrels, think he bored the cases and added a thicker base gasket and after being told it shouldn't work, he showed all the pics and the calculations and other stuff his mate was building into EFE's like auto box and 1500cc........Or is dementia kicking in...definitely an Aussie though

Glad your getting there and I did say you would be best direct measure everything as it was a few years ago and only remembered making a spacer up, but I never had to machine the carrier or wheel and the EFE carrier cleared the extended swing arm using standard unfettled parts..... mine all cleared probably because of the extended swing arm pulling everything backwards ... you got the way ahead now so happy days

Happy Families all again around the world ...... Dlindberg, 1. Correct I made the locking plate fit onto the pre drilled screws on the front sprocket, but a replacement 1 tooth bigger steel sprocket came un- drilled 2. The offset Kwak sprockets were an option but I already had EFE standard gear.. and I am a tight-wad ha ha 3. I didn't machine anything off the sprocket carrier just made a new new swing arm to carrier spacer using direct measurement and presume it was around 3mm wider 4. Similar sort of process for the brake side best use GSXR Hanger and calliper just fit it all on and direct measure spacers needed, I didn't have that so scratch made a hanger using the forge at work, bit of lathe work, bit of welder, and a bit of milling and all good.....Egay hanger and calliper next time ha ha Boilerdude 1. You will need to direct measure the Carrier spacer needed as I presume its around 3mm wider cannot exactly remember, but I did make a new one up using a bit of stainless bar

There are loads of ways all correct this is one way of doing it that uses standard 630 sprockets and chain, I used a GSXR 5.5" rear wheel with a 180 tyre in an extended standard swing arm. The home made locking plate allows the use of an 8mm spacer as the gearbox output shaft nut will only have around 1 thread showing without the tab washer.

Abuse getting like the old site ha ha if it's my pic mate outwards from the sprocket is left ......I think if that's ironic

when I fitted an GSXR wheel and carrier the offset was 11 mm outwards on the front sprocket, I got this with EFE Carrier 3mm inboard towards the wheel and an 8mm spacer on front outwards towards the frame =11mm all runs straight and true on the bike mate. The shaft nut sits nearly flush 1/2 thread showing so I made a locking plate and cut a hex out the middle the drilled and threaded two holes in the sprocket to lock the plate to the sprocket so the nut cannot undo. Meant I could run all the 630 stuff I had.

Looking smart mate.

I did have to polish the aft face of the coil with a file to gain the fag paper clearance needed, a gap is a gap for MOT...but not enough to cause snags. Think I picked my Shock up for £20 of egay

The spring clears the swing arm opening as it compress under load, you sitting on it opens up the gap due to the geometry of the levers, spring moves fwd... and could rub on the opening if the swing arm has no load at all allowing the arm to drop and the spring move aft...jumping hump back bridges.

Vtr1000 around 99 if I remember , you had to trim the end in pick 1 by a few mill either side to fit in the bracket fork, bottom end pic2 straight fit and pic 3 shows the spring runs really close to the swing arm think I polished it a bit ha ha but the geometry clears as the shock compresses and could possible rub if you jump hump back bridges ...

I used the extended link until my standard shock became unserviceable so I used a Hon#£ VTR shock bought cheap on Eblag, has two eye ends but the top one needed trimming down to fit in and the spring is very close as it passes through the swingarm. The shock bolt is in shear and uses the same bolt so in my opinion no reduction in safety. Been on a few years without snags, and the back end sits a little higher on a standard link

Will get a few pics tonight mate

I got a few old gsxr fuse boxes in my Garage mate will get a few picks..you might be able to salvage something

I used a Super dream one that cost a fiver, it has an extra live to blank but its been working fine for the last few years now. Funnily enough a mate who likes his H*nd£s informed me they were a common failing on the Super Dreams and consider junk ha ha
