Bobby Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Hi all, I have acquired a 750 slabside with a 750 motor, Now I am thinking of either using the 750 motor or potentially putting a 1200 bandit lump in. What's peoples thoughts, does the bandit 1200 motor go in easy with the frame not being able to detach at the RH lower part or are their any alternatives. thank you in advance Quote Link to comment
TonyGee Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 yeah it will go in easy. Quote Link to comment
wraith Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Been done many times, just have a look for info on 7/11 or have a look at the project pages Quote Link to comment
Dezza Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Bottom rear mounts on the Blandit 12 are larger so either a sleeve in the case or enlargement of the engine mount holes are needed. The 1100/1200 engines are taller than the 750s and this may present some clearance problems with certain carb/carb rubber combinations further down the line. Quote Link to comment
Bobby Posted December 23, 2020 Author Share Posted December 23, 2020 Cool thanks, Can anyone tell me from experience how the 750 feels with a 11/12 lump in? obviously heavier but any other things to note? Quote Link to comment

No idea how it rides-not finished yet but with ported head, yoshi cams, wiseco 1216 pistons, mikuni rs36 carbs and micron pipe I expect it’ll go ok . And no idea what year motor it is. Never bothered to look ,I’m sure I could work it out from engine numbers if I get a chance to look. Quote Link to comment

R1guy Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 (edited) Worth noting, some people say to remove rocker cover and sump to get engine to slot in. I was feeling lazy so just removed sump and it went in easy enough Edited December 23, 2020 by R1guy 3 Quote Link to comment
