    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.

I remember reading about your bike... maybe on oldskoolsuzuki?? You also used the oil cooled cylinder, right? Very cool. Well done! Enjoy the ride. I must say... I'm kinda envious. :confused:
 
Yes, the full story is on oldskoolsuzuki.info.
It was a little bit over one year project.

It's using GSX1100F cylinder block bored to gen1 Hayabusa pistons, so engine is 1360cc. Camshafts are regrinded, RS38 Mikunis, head ported and a lot of special parts.

I hope to see your project ready and running.
 
Alright guys. I'm finally settled in the new work shop in Texas and back to work on this project. I recently my block and new 1166 pistons from MTC. Yesterday I gapped all the rings and made ready to install the new top end.

Everything I've read about this conversion says use a gsxr1100 cam chain guide, but I don't see how they're compatible??

You guys that have done this, what's the trick? Did you just cut down the GS(X) part?

Happy 4th of July!
 
Front guide from GSXR1100 or GSX1100F oil cooled engines and rear guide GSX original guide. When I build my engine I need to shorten the cam chain one link pair. Otherwise the guide had gone too far and only the tip of the guide has pushed the cam chain.
My cylinder block is shortened because of the Hayabusa pistons. Maybe that's why the chain guide went too far.
I don?t know if there are possible to use DOT head cam chain idler to get the pushing angle right for the rear guide
 
Thanks for that brother. I'm not sure what I was thinking... I have the GSXR front, but I was trying to understand how to put it in the back. :confused: Soon to be moving forward.
