Please, with all due respect to ALL, the ONLY answer I'm looking for is the carb spacing.

W/C 1100s came with 36mm carbs (usa) or 40mm carbs EU etc - 750's had 38mm Mikunis. As G1460 says, the centres are closer on the w/c motors - am in a rush so can't check out details at present.
thanks but as I keep saying I KNOW they're closer - I DON'T know what closer or wider measures.
-
OK thats the basics, thanks. But I am told time and again that w/c carbs won't fit o/c engines, so how do I know what I have and which ones to start with?

Hey everyone I need some answers quick please. I have an o/c 1127 in my bike on 36mm carbs; I'm after some 40's but need to check spacings. The 36's are 78-85-78. The 38's I have are 78-90-78 which I believe are for a w/c 1100. But a guy selling some 40's @ 78-90-78 insists these are for oil cooled! Would these fit with different inlet rubbers ? My 36's are off a 1200 Bandit with appropriate rubbers.

Last time I was in the IOM about '87 I had to go to court for, would you believe, speeding? Moi? Anyway about 70% of the other there for the same were on - GSXR's! What does that tell you, apart from that maybe we weren't going fast enough?

Evolution not revolution man
I love to read a story like this. So many people that you meet look at your bike and say " I used to have one of them, I wish I had kept it" I nod and smile politely but inside I'm thinking: Shouldn't have sold it then nah nah nananah, you sold a keeper.
In this case it's clear from he pictures that man and machine have bonded well and a lifetime of tweaks and modifications have resulted in a true weapon of choice.
The mighty hammer of Hanma- Shin salutes you both.
Yeah anyone can buy a brand new vehicle and keep it for years untouched. Making it MINE and making it work and perform how I want is what makes any vehicle worthy of note - and jelousy. After all, racers modify their bikes on every outing to achieve these goals - and to win lol.

I wouldn't be too sure about that, after all the GSX-R400 went for sale one year before the 750.
Still nice pics of a nice bike in nice riding situations.
OK the oldest 750.

Three new frames, a wiring loom, two sets of wheels and fairings but its still the original 750.......lol
Very nice!
Well actually the frame, wiring, forks, instruments, controls and bodywork are all original - except the fairing; thats had to be replaced a couple of times due to 'excursions'! Actually I just have a new one on the way now due to dumping it at Rockingham track a couple of months ago.
The point is, those that don't know these don't see the changes, and those that do often don't see many changes without close scrutiny - thus achieving my aim to keep it looking original.
And as I said, 90k and still used regularly in ALL weathers - if I have to!

Now that's a true keeper . . . .
And still being used properly too !
I can spot a few mods, but what have you done over the years ?
OK, Self-made H/L bubble, LED indicators in mirrors, LED Rr indicators in Suzuki Jimmy housings, RF900 Fr - GSXR400 Rr wheels, SRAD Fr - GSXR400 Rr discs, 6-pot callipers, DYNOTEC coils, PiperX air + breather filters, Devil/Yoshi pipe, Corbin seat, WP shock, Metmachex Swingarm, tail light infill oh, and 1127 motor. Just a few bits.

Hi guys, I have a 1985 GSXR750F with a '92 1127 'R' motor fitted. At the mo' I have a 4.5" GSXR400 rear wheel fitted with 160x60x17 tyre. As this tyre size is getting more difficult to find I'm looking at fitting 180's on a 5.5" rim. I have what I think is a Bandit rim but the sprocket carrier is way too far out. Can anyone tell me what I need to correct this? I have the 'silly' thought that the engine and wheel centre lines must remain in line so the GSXR1100N sprocket carrier would do but I'm not sure.

Well it's not for me to do down the Bandit but I had a whim a few years ago to replace the tired GSXR1100 G lump in my '85 750R with a 1200 Bandit motor on the basis that they were just a slightly detuned 1100but with more torque. Well after picking up a couple of suspect motors I looked at the performance output figures for the first time and only then did I realise they were putting very little more power than my original 750 so what a waste of time and money!!!!! So I replaced them with a GSXR1100N more that still has oodles of torque and LOADS more power. We live and learn - the hard way!

Oh a couple of other pics I couldn't post originally.

Fair enough but do you know of one of these still on the road and owned from new used regularly? I have enquired before on several Suzi forums with no response so I'm claiming the title!!!!!!!!!!!

Got any parts in the colour you want? Iirc, B&Q can scan a colour sample and give you a printout of the mix ratios.
Either that or go to a car paint place and get it matched.
Do you think their paint will take the heat???
-
One Dinosaur on another. I'm twice the age of the bike and I've had it from new. It was the first GSXR in East Anglia, the only genuine Red/Black UK '85 bike and the oldest one owner GSXR in the world still on the road.
Oh, and this is at Cadwell Park Classic Bike trackday last week. Brilliant!
