Bandit 1200 head on an 1100

[RJ]

OK anybody out there dropped a 1200 Bandit head on a 4v 1100? If so what's the recipe?

I am pretty sure the bandit head is a 16 valve head which would not allow the oil passageways to line up if grafted onto an 8 valve head. I dont think the headbolts will line up either.

bandit / GS head swap

imagining that by 4 valve you mean 16 valve, then the Bandit head swap would be a whole lot like a GSXR head swap. I don;t have pics, still gathering parts and getting ready, however GSXR to GS head swaps have been discussed here and on Dragbike and oldskool.

Bob Bertaut down in your neighborhood has done more than one of these I beleive.

Yep...Bob Bertaut's done something similar (air/oil cooled GSXR head transplant):

He's a very imaginative & talented guy...have a look around the rest of his website for some other cool stuff he's done...

I understand it was popular mod for a while. It definitely can be done and has been done many times. My guess is that the oil was pumped to the top via external oil lines and the old passages were just blocked off.
