  1. There are enough fucking wee cunts on here. We don't need any more.
  2. The GSX ET shaft will work but from memory it's a tiny bit shorter resulting in the need adjust spacing of the front sprocket.
  3. You do know why there are only 3 adjuster screws right? They are balance screws. The one on the far left balances carb 1 an 2. The one on the far right balances 3 and 4 and the one in the middle balances the two pairs. If you don't do it in that order you can go round in circles for a while. Definitely start with a compression test and make sure valve clearances are in spec if you can.
  4. The YSS shocks are well made and still well priced. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Suzuki-GSX1100-EX-ET-YSS-Replacement-Rear-Shock-absorbers-/362539422532?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286
  5. No, there is also info about alternatives for the 750.
  6. I welded a 3/8 NPT boss into the my sabby tank. The pingel goes straight into the tank and now the tap clears the head.
  7. Only people with 100bhp say that but everyone knows they are lying.
  8. I've got a tuned 1216 B12 engine ( 150bhp) in my slabby race bike and its great. I have a mildly tuned 1230 EFE (130bhp) motor in my Katana and it is also great. The air-cooled motor has more low down torque but they are both great engines. Once upon a time it was cheaper to get an oil cooled engine than to rebuild an air cooled motor but that is no longer true. Finding a cheap oil boiler that doesn't need a refresh is getting rare. They are now fetching the same money as AC motors too. Rebuilding an OC to a decent standard isn't any cheaper than an AC rebuild either. The only advantage might be that you'll get a bit more out of an OC motor with a standard crank and clutch than you will with an AC in similar standard bottom end trim.
  9. The RS34 flatslides will just work with a minimum of fucking about. I have 36s on mine but it is tuned 1230. Is that a UK thou you have? ( just based on the smoothbore carbs)
  10. What about a super charger? Driven by a GSXR1100 engine in a side car alongside the 400?
  11. How rude. I thought that was what Facebook groups were for
  12. I merged these two threads. It's confusing having 2 of them.
  13. OK, OK, I'll do it! You don't have to keep trying to persuade me!
  14. That's one hell of a start finnish straight. Top gear flat out.
