    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

1166, 1197, or 1260 for my gs1100e?

I am getting closer to boring out my project bike 1100e block. I had some discussions this weekend at moosehead. I was originally going to go 1166/68 which changed to 1197. Now I am considering 1260, all 10.5:1 compression.

I want it streetable and plan to run gsxr36mm flatslide carbs, stock 1150 cams, high vol oil pump gears, oil cooler, and topend oiler. It will have a ported 1150 head as well. The head came of a well tuned 1229 (1150) with 38mm rs fatslides. It won't be a track bike except perhaps on a rare occasion with the GSR gang.

I guess i am concerned with throttle response and overheating. I have been assured that with mild cams and the gsxr carbs tuned on the rich side I will have good mid range and no overheating issues unless I get stuck in bad traffic. Your thoughts.

I ran a stock block 1198 in the early 80's but it was a dragbike only.
I have a 1166 kit in my wifes (-: street bike with an 1150 head that I street ported and have had 36mm GSXR carbs and now 36mm Mikuni flatslides and it runs good and no heating problems but I don't get stuck in traffic very often because I am mostly outrunning the traffic (-:. With the 1198 or 1260 you will have to use an 1150 block. I am completing my 1327 Turbo bike that I have an APE big block on and I am going to run it on the street but I don't know how warm it will run just yet, may have to ride it in the winter only.
