Hello everyone, I came across this webiste searching information on mods for the 1200 bandit engine. about two years ago I bought a 1992 GSXR 1100, which already had a 1200 bandit engine swapped in. The bike looked good and the engine felt good, but it was a total disaster in suspension, brakes and ride quality. I took the engine out, and disassembled the whole bike, got most of the parts powder coated in satin black and replaced all bushings, bearings and small parts I was able to locate for the bike. Also all new galfer brake and clutch lines, new rotors, pads and other minor stuff. Also the front fairing as it was a fiberglass copy and as it was too hard to find down here, repaired the lower fairings. all the plastic, fiber and paint job was done by a friend of mine. Now that the bike is closer to hit the streets I'm looking for small mods to make the engine a little more "gsxr like", I've read in this site that a common change is to use 750's cams, so any information on this type of changes is welcome. The idea is not to build a monster engine, not even taking it apart, but change minor stuff to make it "happier". Some pics, the fairings are not yet mounted, just sitted on top to check for parts to bolt them. This is when I bought it.. looked "good" but terrible to ride. Off to powder coating. During assembly. This is current looks, still need to fix forks so haven't ride it yet. the scratches are too deep so decided not to install new seals until I get forks. Just bought a used set from a 91 750, I think I can make a decent set for the 1100 out of both of them.
