KennyKak Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 Are these cams OK to use. They are up for sale at a decent price but I'm getting mixed answer's as to weather they are fucked or not. Quote Link to comment

KennyKak Posted November 5, 2023 Author Share Posted November 5, 2023 (edited) I didn't trust the seller but just wanted confirmation. Said he'd been cleaning the bare metal parts with a scotch bright. That threw me off, like he was trying to hide and scoring or wear Edited November 5, 2023 by KennyKak Quote Link to comment

gsxwill Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 As everyone has said walk away, You would just be buying someone else's rubbish 1 Quote Link to comment
DAZ Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 (edited) Keep looking for a decent pair or if budget allows ask Kent cams about a pair of reground/ reprofiled cams - you then have an opportunity to step up to gsxr type fast road cams if you want and your not buying anyone else's junk just a thought... The bandit stuff is 17+ years old ,gsxr 30+ Edited November 7, 2023 by DAZ Added text 1 Quote Link to comment
Mike711 Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 Those are proper effed, look at the great wear ridge:-( 1 Quote Link to comment
KennyKak Posted November 7, 2023 Author Share Posted November 7, 2023 (edited) That's why he was only asking £70 for the pair of them. I thought they were junk but just wanted confirmation from those with more knowledge than me Edited November 7, 2023 by KennyKak Quote Link to comment

There's always someone who thinks that it's worth a try to fob their old junk off on an unsuspecting innocent, or is convinced that the "classic" in the title of the ad is cash in the bank at least @KennyKak had the sense to ask advice 2 Quote Link to comment

And that was an offer he sent through E-blag he actually had them advertised for more!!! All the other cams I've seen are around the £150 for the pair so that was an alarm bell right there. I thought they were fucked but asked just in case I got lucky..... not a bloody chance Quote Link to comment
Swiss Toni Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 (edited) Regarding, the op’s post, Are these fucking cams fucking fucked, or fucking what??? For fucks sake! I’ve got 3 Slabbie 750 cams in the garage. I knew they were bad. So, I decided to stick them up, with pics, in the ‘For Sale’ section as, Vintage, ultra rare high lift cams, ‘taken from Kevin Schwantz’s race engine. One race only. Rare, one grind only and reputed to be Yoshimura pre-production’. £600. Buy it now price £750. But, I was a bit scared to put them up in case someone took me seriously! I forgot to mention ‘Barn Find’ as well That’s always good for another 50 quid! As it happens, when I dug them out … they’re nowhere as bad as I thought they were! So … Just fuckin’ witcha! PS. I’d love to show ya what I just bought this afternoon, but ….. Edited November 11, 2023 by Swiss Toni 2 Quote Link to comment
Swiss Toni Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 (edited) Mod chappie. I was just going to ask to get it moved! You’re too quick for an old timer! Cheers me dear! Edited November 11, 2023 by Swiss Toni Quote Link to comment
KennyKak Posted November 12, 2023 Author Share Posted November 12, 2023 Just wondering is it only the gsxr1100 cams that are are an upgrade on the standard powerscreen cams? Quote Link to comment

Yup. Blandit - Powerscreen/F - GSXR. The 750J cams are supposed to be the best, but the GSXR1100 are still better than the the powerscreen cams for top end. 1 Quote Link to comment
DAZ Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 If you can't find any decent ones I still think you should look at the SUZ7 cams from Kent cams down in Folkestone Quote Link to comment
