Captain Chaos

I always thought it stands for "Newport welding services". Which is in Wales

He is from Delft according to the profile. Delft is in Holland.... but also in South Africa I found out yesterday. Dutch and Afrikaans is nie dieselfde nie.

nice sunny 'n warm here in the Baltics, took the 7/11 for a little ride

Teapot 600 cooler, which is larger than a b6 cooler.

It does on my EFE/B12 thing.

maybe it's sunday morning but that looks like 21 to me. Arrow 2 points at 1, 3 points at 21.

just fit a turbo if you start f*cking with it.

All I know is that the ABS and non-ABS versions have different length swingarms.

not same model. 8V GS, and a 1000. But yeah it looks the same ish

the '91 (and US '92) has small cast in "lines" on the sides, I think where foam (glued in the fairing panels) is touching it. My '88 and '90 did not have that. And as far as I know the short stroke 750 has a different rocker cover which does not fit on the long strokers. Discontinued part numbers don't mean a lot with Suzuki.

Sprocket cover is from Slingshot 750. Rocker cover looks like it's from a '91/'92 (US) GSX-R 750, the one with shims.

Well the "new" engine turned out to be a bit of a lemon as well. It came without clutch and generator covers. When unloading it from the car we could hear stuff rattling in the crankcases, so the decision was made to open it up as well, found a few bolts and dowel pins inside. Good that we didn't install it and fire it up right away. Anyway out of the two engines I used the best bits and built one good engine on Thursday. Friday lunchtime I made a short testride, all is fine, friday evening the lady picked up the bike and was very happy with the result. the magnets are glued on the rotor with orange stuff, could be from the old rotor (the owner said it was replaced just after she bought the bike and it had charging issues).

The bike has Akrapovic exhausts. I didn't hear it run (for the obvious reasons) but they must be pretty loud. And the customer is a woman.

I also found some orange bits of plastic in the crankcases. I have no idea where they come from.

it comes from where the big end shells used to be.
