what does O/A mean?
-
I have no idea, I've got only slingy wheels, one with teapot discs.
-
the oldest one owner GSXR in the world still on the road.
I wouldn't be too sure about that, after all the GSX-R400 went for sale one year before the 750.
Still nice pics of a nice bike in nice riding situations.
-
just measured. Teapot discs on a slingy wheel are 7mm closer together than slingy discs on a similar slingy wheel. So the GSX-F discs are dished 3,5mm less than the slingy discs.
-
Ah, a "plan".
Yes Slingshot discs are dished, same amount as GSX-F discs I think. I can check later today at home.
-
why do you want bigger discs? With the 290mm ones you can mount good calipers directly on the EFE forks, without any adapters. That's why I posted the link.

have a look at this.

Actually sometimes I come home in the evening and don't want to touch a bike. But those days are few and far between.
Usually in winter the bike business is pretty quiet here in Lithuania, so we do a lot of modifying/fabrication in between playing ping pong. In summer I only ride my bikes and do not modify at all.
But let's not hijack this thread too much.

Fortunately I am in the position where I can be picky and tell people to f*ck off if I don't want to fix their bike. For example this morning a guy came, asked if I do engine work, of course I said "yes". He started talking about his H*nda VF750 and before he had finished I already told him "no".
This way I make it a bit more interesting to do.

or use the 750 cable clutch actuation, on the clutch cover (right side)
-
that said you might be lucky and find a cap from another head that "fits".
-
you should always use the cam caps which come with the head. They are line-bored in the factory, a cap that is even slightly mismatched will screw it up and "lock" the camshaft.

I have an issue of Performance Bikes from 1992 with that second version of the 750 (the one with the white wheels) in a test. They got the bike from the official UK importer.
And in all the factory brochures I have, only the other version is pictured.
-
Hi,
the 1992 GSX-R750 WN (first watercooled one) was available in blue/white, black/purple and black/grey. See pic.
But there was also another blue/white version.
Why two different blue/white paintjobs in the same model year?

a mate had a Triumph Trophy with 36mm Mikuni carbs which was a bitch to start cold on the choke. Investigation revealed that 3 of the 4 brass jets had come out of the plastic bits.
I installed them securely and everything was fine again (as far as everything can be fine with a Trophy).

Slingy 750L discs are 310mm as far as I can measure with the wheel still in the bike.
1st gen. teapot discs are not 290 but 289mm by the way.
