1150 EF updating project

How well will the welds prevent leaks?

Tank in the pics was only tack welded. Itīs now TIG-welded and leak tested.
If welds are good they prevent leaks as well as factory welds.

I kind of like the oem fuel tank, but its too wide near to the seat.
Thats why I think to modify it.

First I take the paint off and cut away the sides:



Then I made the new part for the right side:


And then the other side:


Allmost like original, but about 2" narrower:

Im Scared just looking at it..... Sweet.....

More!!!!!!!!

dude, when you get done with this thing, I DEMAND TO SEE DYNO FIGURES! insane minds demand to know, for we know insane friends with far too much time an money, and one of these 1150's.

Iīm going to dyno my bike, but need to wait at least about 5 months. Here in Finland is winter now and I need to tune my bike after exhaust change (on the road).

I get my home made sidewinder exhaust finished.
Is there any sealant to put in the header/head connection, which holds temperatures without burning away?
Silicone sealant holds only +250 C.





In the end there is a modified Termignone muffler.
It has a conical core inside ( from 2 1/2" to 2").

absolute beauty

I never cease to be impressed with your work ... so impressive!

I start to make a new exhaust. Itīs going to be a 4 to 1 sidewinder type exhaust.

After two days of fitting, cutting and welding the exhaust looks like this:







Iīve got an old unused Micron GSXR 750 headers (OD 1 1/2"), which I use to the first 11" of each header.
Rest of the each header are OD 1 3/4" pipe.
Next thing is to continue making the collector pipe and some kind of muffler.
Then painting and testing the sound. Canīt go to test ride, because itīs winter and there are the fuc***g snow ewerywhere on the roads.

Sounds like she's clean running now Blower. Great response, should be good under load.

I made a little test ride, but it was too cold (+3 C). It made burouts every time I try to accelerate a bit harder ( dry street, no ice ). Now I need to wait next summer to made more tests.
Anyway sheīs good under load.

Today I installed the throttle body/bov and made a new pressure pipe from sc to tb.
Itīs made fro aluminum.

Here is a video from testing the bike in the garage. It was too cold to go to test ride.

I didn't realise that the MR2 link is no longer active. That's a shame, as there was some good info on that site. I thought that I had saved that info, but somehow I overlooked doing that.

Here is the information on the cams saved to a text file. If you would like to look at it, here is the link
