have a stellar ( or do I mean Stella ) time guys

Drooooooool !!

As was said before you will need to adapt bandit or teapot ones that use the engine mounts

No I wouldn't I'm a wagon driver and some so called professional drivers couldn't find their arse with both hands , anyway hope you and the guys have a great time

aye you'll not miss that big fuck off chicken shed .....

I would ask permission to use the OSS logo first as it maybe registered . If it is ok for you to use it ,then : milled aluminium, for a logo it would need to be cnc How about engraving, if you don't have a friendly machinist with a milling machine then take it to a trophy shop to be engraved, if you're patient and have a steady hand you can do it by hand , Or painted/sticker logo's . vinyl wrappers can take a digital image and transfer it to vinyl ( not sure how the vinyl would deal with the heat though ) Acid etching where you paint on a masking agent and then an acid wash or two to erode the unmasked metal Similarly sand blast etching, probably more ideas out there but those spring to mind

Looks good ,and gives the option to personalise it , OSS logo ,engine capacity , etc without permanently altering the main bit of the cover

Do long stroke 600/750 cams fit the 1100 heads ?* Are the cams noticeably "hotter" ? Is it possible to run an intake cam on the exhaust as happens on the gsxr1000s ? Is it worthwhile ? * The short stroke 750 ones I know will fit 11/1200 tappet heads.

Just musing this shim spitting (or not) issue , i was wondering if engines fitted with "uprated" cams are the ones that are prone to losing a shim maybe because of more aggressive (faster) opening and closing ramps causing a loss of contact between follower and shim ?

Having read the article you posted I have to ask : if they built an 1186 motor specifically to drag race why would they not set the valve springs pressure to suit the expected rpm limits of the motor,to ensure it didn't float the valves ? why didn't it have a rev limiter set so it didn't over rev , soft cut limiter aren't new if you haven't read @Oilyspannermy route to oily happiness thread in projects his 1216 M sounds close to what you want and maybe worth the time to read it you haven't already seen it

+1 on @Dezza, having had 25+ bikes including singles,twins,a triple,and inline 4cyl if you're coming from harley cruiser type bikes(I've had a harley too) then a gsxr will be a culture shock especially the comparitive lack of low down torque so a bigger bike as Dezza says will probably suit you better for the road rather than a frenetic tuned 750, try to blag a ride on a bandit 1200 or similar to see if it suits you better , not got the image of a gsxr but nice to ride rather than look at ......no smutty remarks at the back

Meant to add to above post

Is it one of those "myths" that grew on the internet ?, maybe back in the day from production racers ,even from the 750m which obviously rev higher or the early gsx600f which also had shims for the first year of two I believe, like when Whitham was racing them.

Missing hose, won't run with fuel tap set to on or res,but runs when set to pre (or is it pri ?) I'm going guess that it's a vacuum hose that operates the fuel tap. There should be either a hose from the tap that's not connected or a spigot on the tap with no hose if it's missing or a hose from the carbs that it's not connected to anything, Google some images of the carbs in situ rather than parts diagrams they maybe more helpful

"Gettin lapped is better than not racing at all" You're out there doing it ! I reckon one make ,zero(ish) mods race series are the hardest closest racing out there and it's still your first season, experience will bring better results I'm sure . Easy for us armchair expert's but how do you think you are loosing the places you make at the start? Concentrating on the "right" track position and not defending the place in the corner? . Anyway thanks for the update always look forward to them

The other thing is if it's not up to spec then you may get stranded at the side of the road, if you're lucky ,if not you may watch your pride and joy smoulder and not in a sexy way... If you do it yourself do some homework and ask the questions,

Very nice find ,looks well tidy in the pics,

Give @imago a shout he's an OSS trader and in your neck of the woods(ish)

More snap crackle and pop than a box of rice krispies

Yes, both @clivegto and @fatblokeonbandit have had good results but if you go down the dot head route be sure to check carb clearance as the ports on the dot heads is "semi" downdraught and consequently tilts the carbs upwards ,I'm not 100% sure but this maybe mitigated by using different intake rubbers as some are shorter than others check @Dezzaexcellent sticky on this subject.. Edit: and if you use the cams from the 750 you'll need to swap the cam wheels to bandit ones to suit your cam chain

The additional compression and better flow would wake it up for sure

The dot head is favoured to put on a stock bottom end because the smaller 750 combustion chamber raises the compression ratio a, 1216 kit (usually listed as 11 or 12 :1 )would raise it too much with the smaller combustion chamber . By proper valve job o mean have the seats recut and valves faced and new genuine valve guide stem seals . In your existing head .As for your cams could they not be reground to a new profile by Kent cams in UK or web cams in USA ? depends where you are based Edit : see you are in Greece so not sure what to advise...

I'd check what the compression would be with a 1216 kit before anything else if that is definitely in your future,what is advertised as say 11:1 would become 12.5:1 with a dot head ,more if it's skimmed just something to bear in mind is there an issue with the stock head? I think if it's ok you maybe better using the std head and spending the cash on a refurb,proper valve job new seals etc jmho

Is the old one destined to spend eternity gathering dust on a shelf at Wee Man towers or is the red herring looking longingly at it......
