Gixer1460 Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 only have a few GSXR/GSF engines kicking around - that´s too new for this frame me thinks.My GS1000S will keep it´s engineOil boilers are old skool enough and think of the weight benefit! A m8 has just picked up a Mag F1 with a 750 SRAD conversion - needs a fairing though! 1 Quote Link to comment

A m8 has just picked up a Mag F1 with a 750 SRAD conversion - needs a fairing though!Got some more piccies but the uploader size restriction is flexing its muscle!Bike seems to have had a 'interesting past' and certain details need a bit of looking at - 1 & 4 carb tops rubbing through on the frame, nasty foam filters fit for the bin, electrics are a bit moody and those PC fans aren't gonna last long in our 'sunny' climate! Upsides - polished ally tank, 916 tail piece in carbon but deffo needs a fairing to hide the plumbing............the drag bars will be making a swift exit also I suspect. I think M8 would like to sling a GS1000 lump at it but looking at the cradle I can't figure how it would fit in there! Edited October 15, 2015 by Gixer1460 added words 2 Quote Link to comment

Gammaboy Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 That's not SRAD, it's 750WP-WN.Fuck it'd be tight with a GS/GSX motor in it. Quote Link to comment
Captain Chaos Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 That's not WP-WN, it's WR-WS (extra mounting points on the cil. head). Basically same engine though. And it means an 1100W engine would also fit. Quote Link to comment
Gixer1460 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Oh for fucks sake - its got water in it so as far as i'm concerned or care its an SRAD! - generic term - who gives a shit!Proper engines have oil on the inside and water stays outside - them I know! 3 Quote Link to comment
bluedog59 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 If the carbs are already touching the frame, you're going to have a problem fitting a taller 1100 engine.Oil on the inside and water outside ? What's a GT750 engine then ? Quote Link to comment
Dezza Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 It looks like the frame was made for a relatively small motor so I cannot see how a much larger GS engine will fit. Most F1s were probably made before any watercooled GSXRs were made so maybe it would help if you asked Harris what engine the frame was made for. They should be able to tell you from the frame number. GSXR 750 (oil cooled) maybe? They made some early F1 type frames for air cooled 750s (Suzuki and Kawasaki) around 83/84 after Formula 1 went from 1000 to 750 limit and before the GSXR 750 came out, and also later on for the GPZ900 which has a much smaller engine than an air cooled lump. You may have one of those that someone has fitted a GSXR 750 boiler in. Quote Link to comment
vizman Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 isn't the gs' only a bit longer plus the carbs on the gs' sit lower? friggin' loadsa' room to shot an air beastie in. Quote Link to comment
dago Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 i've got an efe engine in my F1 frame and can still get rocker cover off. think they were made for gs 1000 engines Quote Link to comment
Gixer1460 Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Bud contacted Harris to check original build spec and quite frankly they couldn't be fucked to give / find out any info! Not that impressed with this response......."Sorry M8 no info on that frame number" with no great investigation. I'm sure if he wanted to buy some spares they'd be a bit more accommodating!

db Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 If your frame has no number it would have been made for track not road. Harris only stamped numbers on road frames. It took me years to figure out what mine was as when I sent photos of it to Harris and spoke to Lester Harris himself, he said 'no, not one of ours'. I scoured magazines, then when it came out, the internet. Years later I tried Harris again and spoke to someone else. He said ah yes, it's a Harris H0nda frame, a race frame built for the CB900. Mine has been nodded for a GS thou so that confused things a bit! Quote Link to comment

GS/GSX is ~2" longer than the GSXR motors - just look at how much extra space you wind up with when a GSXR motor goes into a Kat/GS/EFE. The head looks like it's hard up against the downtubes - fucking good luck getting anything aircooled (except the 750ES/Popup motor maybe) into it. Quote Link to comment
Surge Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 from memory, didn't they do these with a GPz900 motor too? Quote Link to comment
