This is good advice! I got a radiator copper sealed for under 30 bucks once. This thing should be a lot less I would think.

WELL, WELL,
He did get it done today...she is dry now and he fixed my little clutch problem. He had to shim it .020 but I took him a couple basket bearings and wouldn't you know it one was 1.25mm narrower...so all good now.
I rode it home from the shop. nice sunny day...RUNS LIKE CRAP. AHAHAH
The build is done and the tuning begins. I have some burpin and popin going on. Found the ecellerator pump screw was backed right out so turned it in as well as the air mixture. Didn't seem to help. I did some testing on the highway and found it ran better with a little choke.
My headlight burned out and my throttle cable broke AGAIN so I put the stock one back on. Not for long though.
She corners like a dream compared to stock as you boys and girls know who have done the conversion.
My engine man told me she should pull hard to 10,000. You drag racers can comment on that. He is a drag racer too. He hopefully will be taking the Canadian record for fasted street legal bike.this summer. It's dyno'd at 400hp.
had to pull off the LED signals and put the stocks back on till I get a load equalizer to make them work.
Man, it sure is nice to be ridin the beast finally. Nicer when I sort out the fine tuning and can get into some serious RPMMMMMMM.
Oh yeah, still have the bandit arm to put on.

Way to go.
Can honestly say I didn't follow this from the beginning but read thru all the pages Monday just to get caught up.
One of the best reads I have had in a while.
Truly a sweet ride and a work of art.
Best of luck on getting everything buttoned up.
You are becoming an inspiration to us all. 8) 8)

Do you know what size jets are in those 36's.
I'm thinking they come with 130 for 1100's and 120 for the 750's.
130 maybe to small and you may need a 140 if the needles are adjusted all the way up.

the list of mods s impressive- i ran 150s in my 1166 bike and it used all of the gas at wide open.They were just stock cvs though
I didnt read the whole thread. Sorry but i was pre occupied with a lot of legal junk and for me to miss this sort of thing is unusual.
The qestion i have is did you do anything to widen the rear wheel. That is a problem that i will face soon and need all the advice i can get. All i want is a wider tyre for the street- See i spelled tyre so you would know what I was talking about :lol:

I'd do it like Rob did, using the oem swingarm with the size tire he is running. The reason I'm using the GSXR swingarm is my slick is 26 inches tall and about 7 inches across. The slick is flat and not rounded like street tires and would hit inside the oem swingarm. You may need to use a 5/8 offset sprocket too. Maybe Rob can repost his big tire thread.
Jake
Pic-napked this
1and 2 is where the tread part of the slick would hit the swingarm due to it being so wide. As for 3 thats where the top of the slick would touch the top of the frame by the shock post sence the rear is lowered.
