wraith Posted February 13 Posted February 13 Ok, after needing the gsxr750 slim breather cover and being reminded ( cheers @clivegto) the slabside one is lower and lighter, I decided to get both This is what I've found which might be helpful. Gsxr1100 (1127 cc) cam cover is 62mm high and 77mm with the slim breather cover. Also weights 1790g and 1977g with the standard breather and 1933g with the slim breather The slabside 1100 (1052cc ) is 59mm in height and weights 1346g This might help if you're trying to get a old cooled engine into a air cooled frame with not much room 5 Quote
Upshotknothole Posted February 13 Posted February 13 No clearance issues with the 1052 cover on an 1127 head? I like the idea of that much extra room for an 1127 in a 750K frame. Quote
Captain Chaos Posted February 13 Posted February 13 it's worth mentioning that not all OC head covers fit on all OC heads. For example 750J/K does not fit on 750L/M. 2 Quote

So I will confirm for you tomorrow 1 Quote
Dezza Posted February 14 Posted February 14 1052 cover with integral breather is magnesium, which also goes some way in explaining its lower weight. Where are the pics of the different covers? We like pics 1 Quote

So I'd say yes, a straight swap 3 Quote

Upshotknothole Posted February 14 Posted February 14 They’re about $100 here in the states, but I’ll still order one up and test fit it on a few heads. See what it does and doesn’t fit. 1 Quote

See what it does and doesn’t fit. I think with the 1100/1200 heads it's the cam chain run. As the 1127 has the cam wheel in-between the cams but the b12 doesn't and some of the 750 don't? It would be good to have a what they do and don't fit @clivegtopointed me in this direction and was saying about the b12 head Edited February 14 by wraith 1 Quote
