Body work will fit either,I think from memory the 750 clocks aren’t the same but could be wrong and the swing arm on the 750 was steel rather than ali on the 1100.A resident ET expert will know better than me I’ve added 2 original spec sheets from 1981 just for info.The 750 frame will take the 1100 engine you just need different brackets made to bolt up the lower mount below the ignition cover.I’m sure there are other subtle differences, the 750 pump gear can also used to improve oil flow in the 1100 motor.I only speak from my experience I have a 750 frame with an 1100 engine in it.

Yes that’s what I did and they worked fine for me

The brush holder is £70 ish but I’m sure you can buy the brushes separately for a few quid or if not wemoto should do a kit for about £20 at least you can for my blandit race bike so would think you can for a slabby too

I’ve always used a charged battery as my power source from memory you only need 12v to do the test,maybe I’ve been doing it wrong all these years but it’s got me by so far,hopefully it’s just the brushes or do as @wraithsays and swap it out for a blandit one, cheap as chips on eBlag or maybe someone on here has one you can borrow first to eliminate the fault

As stated above and it sounds as though you have a manual, if you remove the alternator from the bike, then remove the end cover then desolder the reg from the plate after removing the whole assembly from the body.You can then test the reg as stated in the manual.Its not a difficult job just a bit fiddly. If it was me I’d be looking for a alternator swap once you prove it’s the reg, as the price for new one is bloody ridiculous, but I wouldn’t just get a replacement without proving the reg is knackered first.Maybe some kind soul on here has one in their shed

A couple of action pics from last week, proof it doesn’t just get polished

Annual 2T Big Bang at Blyton Park today,the smoker went well and never missed a beat.Some nice bits of kit but only posting the Suzuki loveliness

As above I’m up for it just won’t know until nearer the time

Although I can only comment based on my MK1 race bike the clock connections are part of the main harness I believe that the mk2 is the same see pic, however our resident expert should be able to confirm though calling @fatblokeonbanditto the bridge

It’s not changed much,but the bogs have got a roof now and it’s local so a cheap day out

Changed the oil and filter,lock wired up again.Changed the coils for a good set thanks to @Paulm. Replaced the knackered fuel hose and changed the routing from the non Suzuki tap seems to be a bit better flowing now only proof will be on track.Well she’s running again,after a slight adjust of the pilot screws and retighten the zorst which seems to have come loose at the headers .Hopefully gather enough cash to enter Cadwell end of August which will probably be my only Bandit Challenge run out of the year, may also do a round at Darley Moor as I still need 3 signatures to get rid of my orange bib.

Ride over on the bus to collect some coils for the race bike cheers @Paulm,home now so gave her a polish, couple of pics before I drink a cold one

Got the smoker out today to do a bit of prep for the annual 2T Big Bang at the end of the month. Power valve cables adjusted and covers off to clean out the oil residue, fitted the carbon mudguard I’ve had in a box for 2 years. Gave the pipes a clean with some wd40 then stuck the plastics back on and took her round the block to check all’s good.

Not sure yet, lost my job in March so can’t commit until I start working again...

Well racing is back on late August with a 3 round championship,not sure how well entered it will be as a fair few of us...me included are no longer employed so race funds are non existent.However still need to be ready so turned up at Cadwell on Monday to have a little test session thanks to No Limits. Weather was showers and sunny spells so no need for wets, but the day brought some challenges thanks to social distancing and the runt blandit. The runt didn’t even get round the sighting lap before I was pushing her across the grass followed by a long walk back to the pits,this was the first of 3 stoppages for the day....fuel starvation issues and finally knackered coils,managed 3 sessions without issues in between the breakdowns. All told when it was running the fresh new engine ran perfectly with no issues from all the other rebuild work over the winter. Think I had the oldest slowest bike as the rest of the track day johnnys were on litre sports bikes or race rep 600s but flew the flag for OSS racers by managing not to crash and ride round the outside of the everyone in each session and out braked all the race rep boys on my 600 commuter bike . A few jobs still to do ready for Cadwell end of August as long as I can find a job by then or stick the race entry on plastic...onwards and upwards

Maybe depending on work/racing. I can bring Slabbie or RGV or race blandit

Rolled the runt out the shed today to sort out the pilot jet settings.Ended up with it revving cleaner from tick over it’ll do for now. Fitted some new grips and lock-wired them, stuck on a few more stickers thanks @vizman. The ACU have given an update they are following government guidelines so racing could start in July but when you look at the details it all looks bloody impossible a few examples are no overnight camping,1 person per bike only, no spectators, no catering, electronic sign on and minimal grids so unless you live near the circuit and can leave at the end of each day looks too difficult. Oh well role on 2021

Rolled the smoker out the shed to find a bit of a fuel leak,stripped the tap and gave it a clean. All good so off for a quick smoke round the block,stopped for some fresh fuel no sign of a leak

Road test today and she’s running sweet,the balanced carbs are spot on with little or no lag when you open the throttle.No pic as I forgot my phone .

The schemes on the 1100 and 750 were different in the UK and probably most other countries my mudguard should be black if you scheme is like this then the mudguard would be red as standard

@Dezzathe Ali bit of the can is 305mm in length

No problem will measure it when I’m next in the garage

Whole day on the old bus today. Fitted a few parts I’ve had kicking around for 3 years, replaced the fuel and vac hoses.Balanced the flatties and stuck in some fresh oil and new filter. Even stuck on the NOS rear reflector I’ve had in a box for donkeys. Fairings back on and back in the garage ready for post apocalypse ,beer o’clock now

Yes please,you can never have too many

Well today it’s officially finished, all body work properly refitted, balanced the carbs and she’s running sweet with the new engine.After finding so many problems when I took her to bits I’m amazed she finished every race last season and still made 74bhp on the track dyno. Bike is now all good,electrics sorted and fueling spot on,everything has been refreshed and is race ready. Not sure if we will get a race this season but not too worried at this point, the Runts good to go
