andydrinkell Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 Hi all, new to the forum (what have I missed? It's a mine of information. Ruddy perfect!) I have a 95 GSX600FR and wondered what simple mods were out there that might be useful. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. One thought was about swapping engine for GSX-R 600. A) is it possible? B) what else would I need to swap and C) would I gain anything? Or would I be better leaving it as is or simply getting a GSX-R if I want that sort of thing? Quote
Swirl Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 Gsx1100f powerscreen motor straight in it Quote
andydrinkell Posted October 10, 2017 Author Posted October 10, 2017 OOOhh sounds good.... Would the brakes be up to it? What about the front end and rear shock? Hmmmm....Got me thinking... Quote
davecara Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 Stopping from 100mph is the same braking force with a 600 as it is an 1100, uprating your brakes is never a bad thing though imo. And if your suspension and brakes aren't up to task, sort them out well before playing with the motor. other than that little nanny speech, as @Swirlsaid, bang an 1100 in there Quote
Swirl Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 Or a b12, straight in, in fact any oil cooled motor will go straight in there, most bang for buck gsx1100f, I just sold a complete running rough bike for 500 notes Quote
davecara Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 1157 motor, bog standard teapot bodywork, decent suspenders and brakes. That'll make a mint sleeper oh, we're all bad influences on here btw 3 Quote
andydrinkell Posted October 10, 2017 Author Posted October 10, 2017 My juices are flowing now.... see if the wallet can stretch a bit... Bad influences? That depends on perception. Sounds ruddy awesome!!! 3 Quote

wraith Posted October 17, 2017 Posted October 17, 2017 The 1100 bit has been done a lot and one of the new bes had posted a build up post on how/what he has done (cannot remember his name but a I bet some one will come along and say). Quote
andydrinkell Posted October 17, 2017 Author Posted October 17, 2017 Loving this. She who thinks she must be obeyed must like it too. She just rolled her eyes and let out a deep sigh... Called me "Lord", At least that's what I think she meant 1 Quote
