  1. about chain guard interchangeability, a Bandit 650 (2006) one is a straight fit on a GSX-R750 (1988) swingarm. Almost 20 years between the models. So a chainguard from a bike of the same period will probably fit.
  2. we call those bikes Teapots.
  3. '91 has a wider rear subframe than the older ones. And bolted-on fuel tank rubbers, not glued on. '90 and '91 also has different swingarm axle arrangement, with adjusting nut. '88 - '89 is more simple. In a '90 - '91 it's possible to remove the rocker cover from an 1100 engine, in a '88 - '89 it's not. Probably some more differences, can't remember now.
  4. a GSX-F is NOT a Katana. RTFR.
  5. even easier since the bottom rear mount is 10mm just like on the 750.
  6. what Clive said. Original cable run is much better, on the right side of the engine.
  7. I find it easier to disconnect the cable(s) at the handlebar end when removing carbs, leave the carb end connected.
  8. the Powerscreen lump in my 750L now has a Teapot 600 clutch cable and sprocket cover, but I've never been happy about the cable routing. That's why I want to install the original Slingy 750 clutch mechanism. Added benefit would have been that I could use the Teapot parts on my B12 engined EFE, which now has hydraulic clutch operation with a f@cked master cilinder.
  9. just had a look. It would work, but I need a spacer for the clutch cover, which I do not have. The idea was to use only standard Slingy parts for this swap, but that's not possible.
  10. yes Clive. If it works on the bench, it might also work on the road.
  11. according to that article the '88-'89 model has a dimpled cover and the '90-'91 has a smooth cover, should be the other way round. Or am I not reading it correctly? I guess the only way to know for sure is to just try it.
  12. not swapping any clutch bits, only number 17. Now I don't remember if the Powerscreen pressure plate already has the hole in the center or not. If not I'll drill it, but I want to know if it works before opening up my only rideable (at the moment) bike.
  13. yes I know, one "pushes" the pressure plate and the other "pulls" it. Looking at the part diagrams, the thrust bearings are the same, so the release rack (17) from the Slingy should fit in the pressure plate of the 1100. Unless I'm missing something completely here it should work. Where are those adults when you need them? 750M clutch
  14. I know the clutch cover can be swapped between 750 and 1127 engines, but how about the operating mechanism? On my Powerscreen lump (GSX1100F) I want to install the clutch cover and cable and lever etc from a GSX-R750M. I have all the parts (both engines complete), will it work? Thanks in advance - CC

    chain adjusted correctly?
  16. Welcome to group therapy. When carbs are fucked like yours it's a good reason to go turbo and EFI. Hope this helps.
