  1. I don't think they changed the ignition set up , they relocated the oil pressure switch from behind the cover so they could use a chamfered cover for better ground clearance

    My efe engined bike still runs a 1980s LeDAR kit in its otherwise stock BS36 carbs. A whole lot cheaper and simpler than a Dynorod kit, and the bike runs perfectly without the airbox and a 4 into 1. Unfortunately Leon Moss died before he got round to doing kits for GSXRs :(

    Leon did do kits for GXR's, he used my mates 750K to do an exhaust and carb kit, the carb kits are a lot more involved than just being a simple ACK though. He did an 1100K for Mark Forsythe too. He did 750 Slabbies too but I don't recall what they needed. Summer 1990 when he died, I remember it like it was yesterday :(

  3. Its a late 81 so I have to wait a bit yet .

    Well it was imported to the UK and registered in 97 so DVLA gave it a manufactured date of December 81 bastards.

    If I could prove earlier I would get onto them to change it.

    I have a Big Tank to go on but it needs a bit of work   

  4. Thats my 750 et onthe road for the 1st time since i bought her in 2015.

    Pissed through the MOT but is running rich.

    Pulled the carbs   , float valve seat seals hard and horrible, float heights at 20mm , spec is 24+/-1 lol and fuel tap is free flowing when it shouldn't.      

    Carb repair kits and  a new fuel tap that doesn't break the bank ordered. Tap repair kit for the old tap so i can put that on my BIG tank :)  when I get it painted.

    Once the carbs are sorted  its oil & Filter time and new tyres are required, front is a 2003 and rear a 2007 .

    Pic is of the bike as I bought it. It's still the same but the exhaust will be going for something a bit more fruity.  

    Slabby 750 next ,then the 884M then the 884RK ,order subject to change depending a number of factors.

  5. 884 kit on a 749 is a 76mm bore, same as an 1127.

    I use 1127 head gaskets for mine , either OEM or Athena with a thin application of Wurth  Flange sealer(or Wellseal) as recommended by Richard Albans at TTS

    Ask @gsxr884for prices & info ;) 

    I have left my JT sprocket catalogue in the unit so cant find the JT 520 versions till tomorrow when I go in , Renthal do a 520 conversion but I may be able to find JT which will keep the cost down

    That's not a slabby tap.

    Looks like a slingshot dual outlet tap , main /reserve switching takes place inside the tap and always feeds both outlets .Straight feeds 1 & 2 bent 3&4

    Lighter is better, but a lower crown could prove to be an issue I guess

    Yes there may be some compensation required regarding block height

     cam chain length/tensioner blades will be a problem if you shorten the block  longer rods may be required ,once I have measured the pistons I will let you know 

  9. I have spoken about this before but haven't got around to mocking up an engine yet.

    2011 on I think ZX10R pistons are lightweight slipper 76mm so would give 884 on a 749  

    Gudgeon pins I think are 15mm possibly 16 I will have  a measure.

    I have a set of 884 pistons to measure the ZX10R pistons against for pin to crown height and compare weight , I think the crown will be lower and they will be a LOT lighter
