Any ideas who has it , and more to the point if its for sale?

I would start by checking all your hoses from the tank, including the breathers.
Make sure they are not kinked etc.

Hi a friend recently told me that SV 1000 clutch slave seals have a double seal on them and fit TLR and thus Gsxr slingy slave cylinders.
Does anyone know if this is true, before I order one?
Oh and while im at it, do you know if the chamfer on the seal faces toward the engine, or outwards?
Cheers

Well i like it, and im no hipster. i dont own a check shirt wear turn ups on my jeans or possess a beard
its not un-fixable, and the clear coat on the frame looks the nuts.
What is they say about preconceptions. It has no tank because it is a pared down race bike, which won the race, ajainst the likes of Fojarty on a blown triumph!!
theres life in the old brute

They must be off a 600 blandit then, cos the 12 discs are flat aint they.
May be easier chanjin the wheel and disc off a 12

i have put a gsxr engine into a kat frame, and can tell you right now that the mounts on the file/ picture/ cad drawing do not fit..
They didnt fit my katana frame anyway 1981 kat.
I have also fitted a couple ofgsxr enjines to EFE frames, and they are close, but im sure one of them (poossibly bottom mount is off).
I found the easiest way to do this, and save yourself some heartache, is to remove the sump from the gsxr motor, and place the enjine in the frame, you can shim it up until you have it in the desired position. If you remove the sump, you can put some steel plate across the bottom of the frame, and slide the enjine back and forth till you have it in the correct position, and you can shim it up or down easier.
You need to take into account the following.
MAke sure exhaust is fitted, and clears the frame downtubes
Make sure the carbs and filters are fitted, and clear the Kat side panels and tank
Most importantly, make sure the enjine sprocket is in the same position as the orijinal katana one was., and lines up with the rear wheel
then measure them up and away you go.
All you need are some accurate verniers, and a friendly CNC monkey
