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
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
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
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
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
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
62042RS is fine. Suzuki only rubber or metal sealed the outer face as a cost saving, so double seal is even better

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!
