Its a Micron System, so you're stuck with the 63mm inlet. Plenty of cans about though, I ended up with 4 or 5 when I put my slingshot together, ended up giving them away! Stick a wanted ad up. Someone will have one for you
Thanks mate, I'll do that.

The ones I pictured are similar. The bolt flange seems to be steel and the rest stainless.
I hit one with a flap wheel and they clean up. But I would imagine they would end up the same. Unless painted etc. Or have some lazer cut out of stainless.
I went at the system with raceglaze and harpic and turned out well. Ive taken the flanges/clamps to a local engineer down the road to make me some new ones so they'll be a few days and then she'll go back on.
Spigots (we'll call them that) turned out ok. One or two have it worse but all solid enough to reuse.
Turned out to be the best pissed Eblag purchase I ever made all those years ago. Think I paid like 150 for this system.
Only downside so far is the stubby can I have is pharked and I cannot find a slip on for a 63/64mm outlet anywhere.
May just get it resleved and repaired as its jetted to this system and sounds lovely.

Those will be pipe specific as it has to be a really good fit to the rest of the pipe
Gotcha. I was wondering that due to them not being as "available" as I thought.

Post some dimensions and I'll check
Cool. I'll get dimensions when I'm back in the cave tomorrow. The more I look at em, I might be alright to still use these as after a clean up they aren't bad, just the flanges/clamps are naff.

Spigots i think
Cheers dude.
Looking at em they aren't too bad. Just the flanges to replace and I think I'll be alright. Not going to dick about too much.

Hi gents,
Hope you're all doing well.
In my absence I have recently re-aquired my old b12.
The last owner didn't exactly treat her well so I'm striping it to tidy up (and try not to fuck it off and just fit bits to the GSX...)
However I cannot for the life of me remember what these buggers are called.
The system I believe is an old Micron sprung system which was fitted to a GSXR11 at some point, but these lil bitters need replacing along with the flanges. Any ideas where to get new one's?
Any help greatly appreciated.

Had my 750et done in a v@uxhall red with all black stripes for something different and my 1100 standard colours with a decal instead of the suzuki badge,
That is lovely!

One thing to bear in mind with rear sets on an ET, you may need to change or alter the seat unless you have child bearing hips.
Unlike a Kat the ET seat is very wide and if you're sat on it for a 'normal' journey then the position your thighs end up in using rear sets is very uncomfortable.
You don't notice it if you're climbing from side to side going round a track.
Very good point! i didn't really consider that. On the plus side, i do have the seat torn down at the moment as im getting the base repaired and touched up and i was thinking about trimming the foam down a bit to lose some of the "square" profile and edges of it.
Appreciate that heads up, I overlooked that!

You don’t need a template. Get some thin ply/mdf and make something that feels comfortable/right, then transfer it onto aly.
Sorry mate, I'm just being a massive fanny about it! I'll give it a shot in the near future.

I made some plates, and used Tarozzi pegs…
Nice one! i may need to borrow the template for the plates!

Think they did do them for the et but like lots of things you can only get second hand ones, if they come up as they don't make/stock them anymore.
So it's a case of getting something you like and making hanger plates for them.
i thought that might have been the case. Ill keep an eye out to see if i find anything on fleabay.

What an incredible thread to read! Beautiful bike, and that tank! wow!

I'm struggling to find any rearsets for the ET. I have the OEM but i was after something a bit more racey.
I've seen a few Tarozzi sets flying about but none of the suppliers seem to be able to confirm they'll fit an ET.
Do you lads have any suggestions?

Really? They ain't that good even when used in the bike they were fitted to originally and for racing ? ? ? Too heavy, too many disc's and too poorly sprung / damped!
There must be loads lying around unused in sheds after being swapped out for decent tackle?
I'd happily take that over the OEM ET front end! haha!

A local engineer made me new stainless clamps with spring holes and the new bolts, gaskets and springs turned up same time so needless to say I fucking booted it home! She'll be back to full beans this weekend.
