    In stock trim a good 1100 Powerscreen engine will be about 20 bhp up on an equivalent Blandit 12 engine. It also has a multi-spring clutch as stock rather than the diaphram unit of the B12. The 1052 engine is a little shorter overall because it has a unique cam cover with an integral breather that apparently will not fit other heads due to the cam chain guide. The Powerscreen engine has helical primary drive gears so you have to use the generator (or gen gear) and the clutch from the Powerscreen because obviously units from engines with straight cut primary drives will not fit. The rear bottom engine mounts do differ in size, 1052 are 10mm, all other 11/12 engines are 12. This means the engine mounts on the frame will require enlarging or a sleeve fitted to the case. All oil cooled carbs are interchangeable but you may have to change the rubbers - see sticky at the top of the section. if you want to fit a slabby exhaust then you will have to use a slabby sump. You can then use the slabby oil cooler as the slabby take-offs are posiitioned differently to those on the 1127/1157 sumps.

    Tea pot = GSXF 6 / 7

    Powerscreen = 1100F 

    (Well, to me anyway) 

    Teapot name refers to the shape, bulbous rounded main bodywork and the spout as the tail, doesn’t really fit the 1100. 

    What Slabbie roller is it? G, H, J ? Any pics? 

    It’s a 1100g mate , it’s got later 17” wheels in it but just a basic roller atm .

    Powerscreen are cheap at the moment so if you pick up a runner you can cut down its loom and save a few pennies, you will be surprised what is still out there on dodgybay, facache and other local sites :)

    Yea I missed a really tidy cheap power screen the other day ( so they are a direct fit mate ? 

  6. Hi guys , I can’t find the info looking through the site so hopefully someone can help  here .  My first big bike at 18 was a 85 slab 750 and I loved it and Suzukis ever since , I always wanted a 1100 slabside  but never got round to it , like many of us “older” bikers we like to relive our youth and I’m no different , I have modern bikes but still when ever I see a forgotten era classic race with old gsxrs I keep telling myself I’ll get one , unfortunately the price of slabbies has gone way above my budget these days ….until today !!! I’ve just bought a 1100 rolling chassis for sensible money and can finally build my dream , a race inspired 1100 ,  so in my first long list of queries I’m sure to have , could you help guys ?  I’m looking at a donor bike and value wise and hp wise the gsx1100F the early 90s power screen tourer looks very much a good option in comparison to a bandit etc ……so will one of these fit in without much modification?  Also any recommendations on upgrades if this motor fits Carbs cans etc or do they not need it ?   Also who makes the nicest race bodywork and fairing brackets etc ? Thanks in advance and I hope to get to know u guys in the coming months  cheers wobbly
