That's the 2nd pic. The tank rests on the 90s & sits above by at least 4 inches

Can't find where i originally asked the Q, so i'll ask again.
I asked, would the Slabby tank foul the AN6 fittings as they 90 degree over the top of engine.
I was told that no probs, it'll fit. Well it don't & is nowhere near!
I can't put the cam fittings down instead as the AN6 fitting will foul the carb. So how the hell do i get this to work?

Got mine off Eblag form Cruzinimage.
Sound naff but they're a Japanese company & so far everything i've had has been spot on.
Bought 2 carb sets for the X7 & they arrived in 5 days!

34s then.

I'm gonna guess that he means BST34SS, but 36's will work too. 38's are silly money
& 40's are a pain so i'm told

Public liability insurance. That's why most things along these lines are being stopped, to save money

VJMC can't help, another guy linked does it for a fiver, or nothing in my case as he couldn't find anything, & he has a v. good rep

Or a Dowty washer

Sounds like a warped cover. Just get another & try that

Not exactly a standard vin though is it. Suzuki shop only narrowed it down to a GT250EN X7 for both.

Anybody know how to ID the stamped VIN on 2 frames i have?
GT2502-501878
GT2502-511583
Need to find the No plates to apply for new log books

Just collected this lot. 200+ round trip, should keep me busy sorting through it.
And there's a running bike under that lot too!

It's so "old hat" these days, not many people do it anymore on any bike

Got my Pressure plate tool of Eblag, just a modified pair of mole grips

Apparently not, 2 days of abuse & it won't give in

Just a question, what happens if you hit a severe bump, isn't that bracket going to want to pivot around that top bolt, or is it butted up against the frame cross-member so it can't move?
Don't look like it, i'm guessing the tightness is currently stopping that happening.
Personally i wouldn't like that idea.

Kick & swear at it. It'll soon give up

And i did wonder why the fuel 2x T pieces at the bottom were a bit long, so had to trim the plastic down a bit!
-
Well it will be interesting when the fella gets back to me, i used 2x mounting rails from the oil cooled option, so in theory they should be spaced for that purpose

Other than it looking tacky & "car related" the Oil presure isn't great enough to blow them off.
But why take the risk, to save money & actually look cheap

Ooh i'll have a look. Watercooled carbs would make sense!

That was 1st set (P/jet) i bought. I then sourced a 2nd set (non P/jet) & also got some useable parts off @Captain Chaos so i could rebuild both sets.
The identical set i kept, & once completed i then sold on the 2nd set via FB to a guy (Greg Cole) in Germany/Swiss.
I did tell him that they are definitely 38's but feel concerned as to what exactly they are?
Both sets were hacked about to fit on Ford Pinto's which apparently is a normal thing (if you don't have a suzuki) to do!
Below are the only pics i have, now they're gone!

I'm in, & even if i can't get a bike up & running, i'll come in the car
Head cooler on slabby frame/tank!
in Oil Cooled

I think i'll do some straights, down where the original pipes went, then off to right & into the cooler
