Fair enough, going on the above posts, you know what you are doing
-
Really? So you would risk the head if you chucked it down the track?
Although this is NOT my area of expertise, just a thought
-
Cam plugs! That makes more sense.
Although like the sliders you can get to protect lump always seemed a bit iffy, could end up wrecking head for sake of some other cheaper bits?
-
Same as GSX1100F too

Could you not make some plates that fasten to the cam caps on the motor. Make it a stressed member. Easier than all the cross bracing
Although i'm trying to picture this in my mind, from previous experience the cam caps are a weak point in engines i've messed with.
M7 thread & poorly tapped into the cam caps which i always thought were made of wensleydale!
I usually ended up tapping & helicoiling em cos they were so poor!

I just read this for curiosity & now my head hurts
-
I'd guess (and u can put em alongside eachother) that they are the same. Only worry i had was cogs, but i'm sure the 750's all had same teeth.
-
Least the cogs are prob the same
-
Count the teeth on both, can't remember wot the different amounts are, but the 1100 & 750 def have different. You can swap the gear off the ends tho. Just make sure its well loctited on.
And also i don't think the reg/rec is available seperately, it's the whole Alt you will prob have to get
-
If it's doing it with another Alt, then either they're both fooked, or i haven't got a clue?
Also the Alts have different amounts of teeth on em & could destroy your Alt/clutch if they don't match
-
way too much, it'll boil your battery. Deffo the reg/rec in the Alternator end cover as @dupersuncsaid
-
Hahaha, ur right, getting me air & oils mixed up! Apologies, get another Alt @bigpants
-
Agreed, but a bit of cheap reflective surely improves it much more?

What do u mean Dunc? Iv'e run a Honka, Electrex & a Yamhaha on previous boilers!

As he says, get the reg/rec done/replaced & hope your battery is still salvageable

Why not use a small Ali tank with a fibreglass slabbie tank cover ....
Cost mate, might go down that road in the future with engine mods etc. This is just me being a bit thinky
-
I understand the logic when it comes to "modding" cos of engine/carb/frame issues & that is fair enough.
However, the one i have has the 4x carb holes totally uneven (No modding can cure that) & as mentioned, the creases from the original shape make it extremely hard to get a good/reasonable fit.
So on that note, i apologise for getting carried away with my dissatisfaction at the product.
And as an addition, i would think that without putting a reflective coating on the front side (not expecting seller to do that) it will be pretty pointless?

Not thought it out tbh, the tank i have (1100 humped) is a 45mm spacing & it has been modded at the rear mount to attach to the Z750 subby!
So unless i start more modding on another tank, i best stick with this one

I have. 50 posts before one can sell? Bit harsh?
This was brought in on the old site to stop people joining, selling (and ripping off) & then disappearing. Not the best safety measure, but a bit of a helper

I bought a Guillari from Italy for the Yosh GS1000 & it was fookin awful for £125. Sent it back & got a local car upholsterer to do it for £120 on original frame, with piping ,a mild step & non slip vinyl.
Well worth asking any local bods if they can do it

That's cos you shit on the wall
