Tough one but I've not seen the slabbie yet and I would like to see it.

I fitted orient express oil pump gears. Not sure if they make them any more.

Yes, as above. SSR's tuning tips are specific to the EFE engine. Doing a complete rebuild is costly and doing a rebuild with power increases is more costly still. For a rebuild and refresh you should allow £300-£500 to cover valve stem oil seals, a complete gasket set and other seals etc etc. I would open up the crank cases and look at the gearbox and crank too just to inspect them for wear. If the valve stem guides are worn new seals wont solve the problem so you need to check them for wear. Slotted cams dialed in precisely would unlock some hidden horses. If you want to increase performance you are looking at more like £1000-£1500. All of the above but add £500-600 for a 1230 kit and rebore heavy duty cam chain etc, £350-500 for a head port and new valve stem guides. You're over 2k if you want to to put a set of RS series carbs on and your up to 2.5-3K if you want to fit a performance exhaust to exploit all of the above. Obviously if you want lumpier cams etc the numbers keep going up. It's not a cheap business but it's worth it for my money. If budget is a key factor then set your budget and allow for 50% more than you think it will cost. That will determine what you can achieve. As far as the the GSXR head is concerned I think @Duckndive did this.

Right I'll see you all on Friday afternoon.

Welcome. If you loved the rules it sounds like you get it. Nice wee air-cooled stable you have.

I'll give you phone today Dave.

DJs are smaller than mikuni jets. A DJ130 is a mikuni 122

Looks like you've used way too much super glue to hold that manifold on again Dave.

Fod That kind of rhetorical question will just gnaw away at Tom. He will have to google it and post a reply shortly. All this effort and we've simply created the worlds slowest search engine

Yeah even with my limited oil cooled engine knowledge I was aware of the Bandit sump being lower and the 1100 sump swap work around. I'll wait and see what presents itself in the way of parts and make it up as I go. It helps to start to put together a potential shopping list early on but it always comes down to what crosses your path. helps to know the variables though - Cheers

I think I'm using a B12 motor. ( which is lower still?)So an 1100 exhaust or. B12 then?

looks good as is. Keeps the focus on the tank.

you do know where you are, don't you ?

I followed his blog in real time. Last I heard he was selling it.

Blast from the past. Buy it back and turbo it.

And the clutch doesn't make a horrible noise.

That would be great Les. No rush whatsoever. Let me know once you get a chance to look.

Love the paint on the tank and side panels. Looks right.

I have an 1100 frame and wanted to know which panels I could use ( including the tail)

Thanks

Which body panels are interchangeable between the 750 and the 1100 Slabbie? Same question for exhausts.

Can I have this?

Left to right of course

I was thinking about a different project. My next one.

So clean. I love the ES.
