Peterrr Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Hey Guys I stuffed a GSX750F engine in my popup katana, and because the GSXF has a cable clutch, and I want a fluid clutch I bolted one on from a GSXR1100 And I was wondering if anyone knows the length of the push rod I need, I don't think I have the right one at the moment because the cover won't fit..

Good idea but I think the rod is the same length, I looked around but I don't have a different lenght. Even the original engine of my popup kat has an 80mm pushrod.. Quote Link to comment

This is the adjuster that FBB was on about turning out, don't worry about cable adjustment till you've sorted out your pushrod length Edited February 9, 2016 by gray711 Quote Link to comment

clivegto Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 (edited) Got any more pics of your popup katana Peterrr ? reason I ask is I got one recently and am thinking of putting a oil cooled motor in it or big bore the standard engine. I have a cable clutch conversion on a 1052 motor and the clutch pushrod length on that one is 90mm. Edited February 10, 2016 by clivegto Quote Link to comment

I have a cable clutch conversion on a 1052 motor and the clutch pushrod length on that one is 90mm. Just took a few pics before dark. Mine is an S3 popup from 84 Oil cooled 750F engine is a tight fit when it comes to the carbs (36SS) and fueltap, don't think an 1100cc will fit as easy as this 750cc because of the height of the 1100 Using a Bandit 650 oil cooler, 750 slabby oil pan, 1100R fluid clutch, GSXR750W wheels and forks, RamAir filters, stage 3 dynojetkit, 750R exhaust etc etc etc Still some work to be done before I take it on the road, but getting there.. If you need more info just ask, you have a popup kat yourself Clivegto? Edited February 11, 2016 by Peterrr forgot something 1 Quote Link to comment
clivegto Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Looks really good that dose. Got mine about a month ago brought it home in the back of my audi a3. Quote Link to comment
clivegto Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 It's about standard apart from frame paint, stands like this at the moment. Did you use the back bottom engine mount for a starting point Peterrr ? Quote Link to comment
Peterrr Posted February 12, 2016 Author Share Posted February 12, 2016 I've got some engine mount drawings if you want clivegto? That gives you a starting point. You can use the rear bottom frame mount, the mount near the sidestand will have to be cut off. Fitting an oil cooled engine in a popup is a tight fit because there is little space between the carburators and the gastank. And also the fueltap was in the way. I made a few little modificaties to the carbs and fueltap that gave me a few mm clearance Bodywork on your popup looks good Clive, any more plans besides upgrading the engine? Quote Link to comment
clivegto Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Peterr yes I would like drawings of the engine mounts. What did you do to the fuel tap ? Am thinking about bracing the frame, upside down forks, wheels, brakes might keep the swinging arm as it has a wp shock fitted. Paint is really good but there are some cracks in the side panels, some one has glassed the back of the panels for strength. Quote Link to comment
