Got some fairly wild quotes for the bore for the 1216 MTC kit...
What you expect to pay guys?
When you say wild are you thinking expensive ???

A wise decision me thinks.
I personally think you'd have regretted selling the spondon after all you have put into it. Good on ya!

I remember seeing a stretched EZ on the road in an old American bike mag, it was different but over the years these have slowly crept up on me.
This one is my personal favourite.

Welcome @BoxerMax
My advice would be to purchase a genuine factory manual, best money you'll ever spend when putting your bike together.
They come up for sale on those auction sites all the time. Do you have any pics to share with us?

Original quotation probably answered a while ago.
It was asked July 2018 LOL
To quote the great captain mainwaring, well done that man I was waiting for someone to spot that.

That looks like an ef bottom end with gsx head. Does it have 1075 or 1135 stamped on the front of the block on the flywheel side?
As the man said, EF bottom end and I suspect from that angle what looks like a 1135 block, as the ET block has slightly more rounded corners. Cylinder head is ET/EX.
To answer your question I wouldn't be disappointed with any of the air cooled 1100 lumps.

They charged you 50 quid for stuff that they'd already chucked in a skip??? Errr, am I missing something here????
@Dezzastumped me too !
@wraithyou missed a trick there, you made more room in the skip so in all reasonable thinking it was they who should've given you the £50, cheeky bastards.
There again, that's business as they all tell us.

Could never fathom why new posters ask a question then just disappear without a trace, even if they don't like us at least have the decency to tell us to fuck off!

Apologies @RuaanI was making assumptions as it's not uncommon on this forum for our style of direct wit and general piss taking can sometimes be taken to heart by more sensitive souls, but it's all harmless fun, (well, most of the time it is). Hope you sort the issues with the carbs
welcome

Seen (a long time ago) some gsxr rims welded to shaft drive wheel hubs but who did it I don't know, anything can be done but I would expect it to be more money than it would be worth.
@wraithIf you're refering to certain z1300 rear wheels from way back I can confirm that you weren't seeing things, personally I think the old standard wheels with widened rims would look quite trick, after all we all try to keep our bikes different so I'm with @Elimax

There are two bars - one on the balcony and one at the eastern end of the main hall, the opposite end to the hall with the OSS stand.
(Actually, there's a third bar used by the organisers for food etc, which I believe is open in the evening for organisers and stall holders)
@zedheada man with an extensive knowledge of bar locations, at least we'll know where to find you.

How long are your forks compared to stock ? Most USD's are a lot shorter.
I make it approximately 50mm shorter than stock, I know that's a hell of a lot but in my mind you would think this would quicken the steering but as I said it felt vague, almost lazy!

After a fair bit of fannying about checking stuff I've nailed down why it's handling 'weird'. A previous owner has fitted shorter dog bones to lower the back by @ 20mm. They didn't shove the forks through to match though.
So as it's only going to be on the road until I get round to stripping it: lower the front to suit? Or stick a pair of standard bones in? The seat height is fine for me either way.
Coincidence that you mention ' weird ' handling following a mess about with the arse end, I raised the rear on mine and I'm experiencing only what I can describe as vague handling that I can't really fathom. Despite having an onlins shock that I've played with. Also I have a gsxr1000k1 front end which may be an issue? Just can't tell. Now in the process of going back to a standard setup and leave it alone.

You suggested in your opening post that you have traced the problem to the carb rubbers not sealing, by purchasing new ones can we assume you've eliminated that issue???
What was your original process of elimination? Would it be worth re checking everything again?
Sometimes even the most able amongst us (I'm certainly nowhere near that standard btw) can get bamboozled by a problem and overlook the obvious.
Just an observation so don't take offence. Good luck.

Fair play bud you go well on that, looks like you had fun in the great weekend weather. I only live 30 miles away from Anglesey circuit but had a load of family stuff on the weekend looked like a great event, gutted I didn't make it, off to the TT this week so couldn't push my luck. Thanks for the posts

I know Arttu. My RF fairing was damaged. The fins on the side were blocking the install, tank was too high, I couldn't tuck in properly. Only RF parts left are 1/2 the frame and the cylinder head.
She had her good looking days (2013)....
Tastiest RF I've ever seen, I can recall a build thread somewhere from years gone by, love this.
Was this build thread on the old Oss site?

I had an '89 1100k about ten years ago.
Maxton suspension did the cartridge kits at the time, quite pricey but made the world of difference.
I'm sure there will be others.

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?
+1 on what @Gixer1460said, I thought they were freely available.
