  1. Given the issues you're facing, why bother? If you must change em, go for 36's
  2. Also anyone worth their salt would know that vapour blasting works but leaves lots of superfine sand/grit hidden everywhere inside! Soda blast uses Soda (shocker!) that disolves in water & is a much better option. See if he has that option
  3. What about some VM29's? And what would you pay for an average set?
  4. Are all the 750F carbs 36's?
  5. To those who have & haven't followed my dragbike build I had the original BST34 GSX1100F (tin top) carbs fitted & went posh & sourced/rebuilt a set of BST38's to fit. However, they were too tall with the plastic tops so ended up putting the originals on. So my question is, what would be a good upgrade that should fit the 1127 engine in a 750F frame & large Slabby tank? Are there other larger tin tops etc etc that we're not looking at silly money
  6. Can't say i noticed, but even if it was, we're hardly talking litres here! Plus i'm running aftermarket head & Engine coolers
  7. I'd be (and am) happy with a 180/55/17 on my Yoshi & Efe
  8. i reckon there's a difference, but nowhere near enough to sleeve it down
  9. Wouldn't the pipe ID at each end be quite different, or have you sourced the first tapered fuel pipe
  10. Whilst getting a 6" rim in may be nigh on impossible, even if you did the rubber on it will most likely give you even more issues inc the above! Not a lot in it, but try a 5.5" instead
  11. My 2 penneth, less the march of time, more the drive to econimise. I have no idea, but i'd bet they're all outsourced to somewhere East of India. Tis why NGK are shite nowadays amongst many other brands
  12. Had issues too with them on my EFE &GS, just strip it apart & thoroughly clean it. They do wear though so the oil can pass too easily & cause flicker as well
  13. I did like this, giving it adjustable ride height
  14. To RS or not due to cost? Can't understand that, it's 20p FFS! And KOYO all the way, although most bearings are made everywhere & are absolutely fine if it's a brand name
  15. 62042RS is fine. Suzuki only rubber or metal sealed the outer face as a cost saving, so double seal is even better https://simplybearings.co.uk/shop/p170085/62042RS-Budget-Rubber-Sealed-Deep-Groove-Ball-Bearing-20x47x14mm/product_info.html
  16. Personally they fit with fettling, but look awful imho. And they look even worse on Air cooled lumps
  17. Done a swap on my drag bike (GSX1100F to B12) & AFAIK there's no problem Only issue i had was the strainer mounts are different to take into account of the deep well moved to one side, so you must swap that too. And again swapped for same reason as you!
  18. Hard to come by so i'd say £400 minimum!
  19. Tatty is an understatement! Least you might be able to buy Autosol in bulk
  20. Couldn't say, my tanks fine so never needed to find out
  21. GS1000 tanks are prone to this. Dunno about over there, but over here it's well worth trying to salvage/fix it
  22. Why 530? I've put 520 on my EFE engined EFE & My GS1098 engined GS1000
