DAZ Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 (edited) I think I have seen a picture of the engine before after mentioning Allen Millyard's creations in a post but not all the ones you've posted ,on the Zeds and KH strokers he's created its relatively ( ! ! ) easy to alter the press fit cranks to extend the number of cylinders and rephase the firing order ,do you know how this one was down? Great pics thanks for sharing them Edit : found it on you tube " how to build Suzuki Gsx r 1700 six cylinder " user BusaSrad Eskedal Edited January 5 by DAZ 4 Quote Link to comment
Dezza Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Anyone know who actuallly built the oil-cooled six? Obviously, most on OSS want the details as to how it was done . 1 Quote Link to comment
Joseph Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Looks more like an aircooled 6 with an oilcooled head 4 Quote Link to comment
Duckndive Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 There's loads of pics on FaceAche he built a 5 cylinder busa before the 6 His you tube channel is https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxO1aZ2wJdnIgGI9ohBm3Cw 3 Quote Link to comment
clivegto Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Looks like a air cooled bottom end. We had a six cylinder GS on the OSS stand at Stafford. 2 Quote Link to comment
Gixer1460 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 1 hour ago, Joseph said: Looks more like an aircooled 6 with an oilcooled head Does indeed - and that would be the logical way to do it - a press together crank makes the bottom end 'easy' whilst the head gets the 'cut and shut' mods with split cams etc. Although clever and no doubt well executed, none of them address the issue that *onda designed out - hanging the rotor / alternator / ignition off the end of the crank making a wide engine even wider - the CBX was little wider than a GS1000 where it mattered! Bearing in mind how easy it is to deck GSX engine cases when racing, these must be getting close in spirited road use? Looks like an external elec. oil pump is included - not a bad idea with an AC bottom end ! Quote Link to comment

I did have a good chat with him on the Friday night while consuming lots of beer. It's based on a 750, crank is just pressed together and the cams are cut and shut using interference slugs no welding. He's a good engineer just did it to see if he could. @davecaraknows him better so might be able to tell more. 1 Quote Link to comment
inmate Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Had a chat with Graham, I think it is, at Stafford. He has dozens of photos of his engine build, all done by hand, even cutting the engine cases. Clever lad, hopefully @davecaracan ask him to put up a build thread. 2 Quote Link to comment

That was the thing which impressed me most when I was talking to Graham about it. Very simple techniques and tools used, but done with a great deal of skill and knowledge. Quote Link to comment

Oil cooled cranks are one piece though so a bit more tricky to extend. Quote Link to comment

One common thread with all these conversions - press together cranks for good reason! Quote Link to comment
davecara Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 @Graham6cylinderis the man to speak to on his 6 cyl GS and the build.pitfalls etc. He had it built in under 12 months I believe and has some videos on youtube Quote Link to comment
Graham6cylinder Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Just a few photos of my GS 750 6 cylinder build 20 Quote Link to comment
Swiss Toni Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 (edited) @Graham6cylinder What a job! Good on you! We’re all very interested in this build, so we can’t have enough info/photo’s of it. Welcome to OSS. You’ll fit right in. Could you do a full build thread? Edited January 10 by Swiss Toni 1 Quote Link to comment
samtait87 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 (edited) GS1600 seen at Dragstalgia 2015 I walked over thinking it was a CBX then noticed the Suzuki bites! I believe this was the Pip Higham build mentioned above. Edited January 10 by samtait87 Quote Link to comment
