I've looked up the rough translation and from what I can gather he's seems a bit upset with our moderators, safe to assume it may well be his last post

Just to add, the swingarm bolt diameter is 20mm (99% sure).
-
Did you mean 23cm not mm?
The swingarm is 230mm across the pivot, approx 235mm with the end caps included.
Hope this is what you need?

Don't quite know what you're missing on you're panel tried to get some pics.
The round tabs are approx 12.5mm dia X 12.5mm from the base of the mounting post. I'm assuming you have the mounting posts intact.
If you need any more info let me know. Have you tried pattern panels?

Looks sweet that, that "S" nose fairing really suits it, nice idea

Is it stainless? If so https://oldskoolsuzuki.info/archives/1679
I dont think the pipers were stainless banoffee, just old fashioned badly chromed steel
.
Athough i must admit those downpipes do resemble stainless.

Hi Paul, depends on what finish you're looking for? Looks quite far gone in the pics.
Personally if I were just tidying up to get roadworthy I'd give it a good wire brushing followed by rubbing down with wet and dry, then a few coats of heat resistant paint.
I used to have a Piper on my ET when I was a youth, haven't seen one for donkeys years.
Nice gsx BTW

I believe the carbs tops have an extra studs in them, limiting the lift by basically a hard stop for the slide.
Just unscrew the carb top to check if i got this correct.
info from here
Thanks blubber, I'll check them when I get a chance, I assume it's an easy fix?
The guy I bought it off was under the impression that the restriction was camshafts. He was led to believe the owner before him had derestricted it by fitting UK cams, gave me some cams (German model????)with a few spares that he had. Now I know otherwise.

Hi.
I did this to my '93 boiler
K8 fork wheels and brakes, rims powdercoated metalflake pink, Nitron race pro shock
Improves the riding, makes for a great resto mod look, is easy to do and very fast to finish as well. Cost is reasonable too.
Seems like your bike is the perfect candidate for such an update
I get the idea Joseph, thanks for the input but it still doesn't solve the issue of me walking like Bambi after a ten mile ride..

I'm surprised nobody told you yet to buy another one for modifying and keep this one original.
It's the only right answer.
Number of bikes one should own is n+1
n is the number of bikes one currently owns.
Great idea captain, just one problem with your plan.
That bike is living in my lads unit (temporary arrangement
) with several boxes of gt250x7 parts.
As for my garage/sheds/lockup, have you seen them cartoons when the structures are so full of life's stuff, mainly bikes and parts, they're bulging under the pressure? That's where I am.
That's it, no more I've got to
Well, until I buy more sheds..

That is rather nice. It would be a shame to pull it to bits.
Thanks, my thoughts as well.
Opinions are devided when it comes to oss, some will say leave it as it is then there's the rip it to bits side! I'm a bit in the middle so I always end up cofususing myself

Just to add, the original and main reason for going with the 1100 motor route was it's a German import therefore restricted power.
Does anyone know where they build in the restrictions for this model pls? As I've said I'd rather keep it as close to original as poss so if it's easy enough to de restrict I'll stick with the 750 for the time being mainly due to the fact I've got so much other shit on the go to last me a lifetime. Cheers.

Evening all, managed to bag this little gem a couple of weeks ago with a plan to throw an 1100 motor in it.
Trouble is I've had a good look at it and to be honest it's pretty standard give or take a few minor bits so I'm in two minds about pulling stuff apart.
On top of that is the fact I had a sit on it when I got it home, as you do, Christ it's cramped for my 57 year old 6ft 3, 15 stone frame, thought I'd dislocated my hip.. had one when I was 35 seemed comfy enough then.
So for the foreseeable I'll tidy up a few bits, clean the carbs( usual problem) then see if I shrink by next spring!!

The Magnum 4 was specifically designed to take GSXR engines so is a little later than frames designed to take whopping great aircooled lumps
Thanks dezza, I now recall they were exclusive to the gsxr motor.
Does anyone remember bills spondon on news at ten in about 1985??? They even interviewed him. It was introduced as the fastest motorcycle on earth

Yeah thats the one thanks, was it local to nottingham?
That was lucky, don't know where it was from, I took the pic at the NEC think Harris were using the bike to advertise their products at the time.

That’s a mag4 ?
He did say spondon or Harris. Having said that am I right in saying the mag4 was a little later than bills spondon?

This one? Sorry for shit photo quality, but was a while back.

+1 as above 525 on mine.

I did one about three years ago and decided to steer away from the usual powdercoat route.
Out came the rattle cans and the closest I managed to the original was silver hammerite smooth, it even has the metallic fleck.

Since the frame is black standard, nobody will have the correct code for silver but you
I suspect the 1135 in his username suggests he owns an ef/efe, which has the silver frame. Just assuming
