Bob Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 Hello if anyone can help me out with a GSXR slabside frame information .i have a frame and engine but no v5 .the frame has two steel tags riveted to the frame I would like to know what they mean if the frame is a special one or if it’s a import I also would like to know the year please look at photos thanks I hope someone can help me out. Thanks, Bob Quote
Blubber Posted April 29, 2020 Posted April 29, 2020 Hi Bob, Here on OSS it is considered thoughtful to post your intro prior to firing away your questions. I can understand your enthusiasm but we would like to know where the info ends up. Quote
icprey Posted April 29, 2020 Posted April 29, 2020 I don't think there is anything special about the frame. The riveted plate could speak to a certain past. Here in Canada a bike that has a rebuilt title would get a plate similar to that to signify it has been reviewed and considered legal again for use. This could be something of that nature, but I never saw that plate on a stock frame before and it really looks like it was added after by someone wanting it to stay there. Maybe someone recognizes it from their region. Quote

Don't bother bracing it. Adds shit loads of weight for no benefit. Just check the holes for the swing arm pivot spindle holes aren't worn, and the frame isn't cracked around the engine or suspension mounts. 1 Quote

I am going to fit a 1200 bandit motor with 1216 big bore kit Kent cams and cylinder head work been done.should be about 140 horsepower that’s a lot more than the frame was designed for .i think the bracing looks good to like the yoshimura ones .big fan of number 34 14 hours ago, Dezza said: This would explain why the Yoshimura slabside 750s had heavily braced frames M Quote
dupersunc Posted May 2, 2020 Posted May 2, 2020 Mine has 156hp. It has issues as I mentiined, but bracing wouldn't help. Most 7/11 slabbies racing these days aren't braced. I Believe the yoshi bikes wee braced as they didnt understand what was going on with tbhe interaction the tyres a suspension and mistook it for excessive frame flex 1 Quote
