You’re right there they are a pissing money pit I’ve been building mine for more than 2 years always running out of money still not getting any nearer to the end,I made the mistake of adding all the receipts I collected so far.....scary wish I hadn’t bothered

Sorry to hear about your bro..... my condolences. Here is a quote from another forum that I'm on; Its probably a VJ21 or VJ22 engine would be surprised if its a 23 but you never know "Vj 21L have less aggressive porting, but can use any vj22 piston and studs suit 12C1 (L) heads or vj22 , these barrels are marked 12C1 just above the Base gasket and 89 on side of p/valve chamber. Vj21 K cylinders just have 88 marking, they have shorter head studs for K spec heads. And use a wider boost port so ring peg position is different. Meaning suzuki only K spec pistons. Base gasket flange thickness varies, so may need different studs". I'm sure there are other smoker experts on here that can verify/confirm this Here are some photos of my VJ21 L engine you can see the markings as stated above 12C1 and 89

I know it's a different part from 750 to 1100 but the orientation looks the same as my 750,I'm sure someone with better info will be along soon

I run a 150 on my original wheels but used to run 160s and 170s (it just fitted) in the old days, don't think you can get a 170 Metzeler comp K anymore, much better tyre options and choice with a 17" wheel

Carb no.2 off the bike,stripped and 30 mins in the fizzy bath,temp fitted all parts for now with a touch of gt85 to expel any moisture. Need to save up the pennies for a trip to the local carb specialists to gather parts for the refurb
