Love the paint job make a nice track bike with a bit of work

Thought they looked like top quality kit

Nice is that a real Yoshi tank? and what wheels are they?

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

Good idea lets re-educate them......I'll bring my Lee Enfield......fix bayonets....those hipsters don't like cold steel

Better safe than sorry

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

Stripped the thermostat housing popped it in the fizzy bath for a quick clean up. Tested the thermostat all good,then reassembled and temp fitted the new hoses

Started working my way from the headstock to check the wire harness,cleaned with IPA and then switch cleaner on the connections

Everyday’s a school day

Glad it’s sorted

Thanks still the original paintwork too

First ride of the new year,thought I’d make the most of my day off and take the old girl for a spin,it wasn’t even that cold

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

Fuel tap location just above filter on my 7/11 GSX1100 tank think the tap is the EX model not ET but may be wrong picture in post below
