Whats going on in your garage

[spdjunkie]

Yup, they're ice cube trays, I've been using them for as long as I can remember, and can't recall where I got the idea. Actually, cupcake tins work equally well, just make sure your wife's completely done with them or there'll be MAJOR hell to pay. I always make sure I get all the old kitchen stuff before it goes in the garbage. Cookie sheets are very useful as drip pans, or carb work on a bench, too. Don't even get me started on the old rubbermaid stuff she was going to throw out when it got replaced with Tupperware.

Glad you like the pic's

There are some more over at:

Wow, your intake manifold is almost as bad as mine. I have a single part that I use now that mounts to the stock 3" inlet. What are you going to use for a carb? What is all the welding and grinding on the block for? It looks like your oil return, but I don't see how it fits together with your drain from the turbo.

Duct tape is covering the opening. It looks like a brass fitting.

Thanks Solo! My project is moving much slower than the rest of the guys. Too much traveling for work. This employment thing is getting in the way of my fun........

That's what it looks like to me as well. If you look at his fitting on the turbo, he has it coming out towards the intake side with a 90 degree bend. But this fitting looks like it comes streight out so the drain tube would have to have a bend or a loop.

Agreed, that is what it looks like. There is a good reason though I am sure. Routing? Come on Mark, give us the scoop buddy

Yeah it is my turbo drain that is welded into the cases. I will take a few pics tomorrow and post em to show how its going to be set up. I had problems with oil sitting in the old long drain pipe that had to rise over the top case edge just behind the clutch. This way I retain my stock filler hole and the oil drains a bit more directly.

Lecroy, the carb is a hsr42 with all the goodies to run on pressure fuel supply.

pilot range (TBD) 27.5 - 32.5
Mains (TBD) 210 - 230ish
needle Y95 set on middle clip.

The tank SUZUKI stickers are actually sliver (showed up white in the pics).

Thanks for the compliments solo!!

My project hasn't gotten started yet but here is one of the Cosworths I'll be running when I get around to my frame up build.

I've got a set of Total Seal gapless rings for them, V&H modified grind cams, already running RS34s with a Yosh Duplex, and I have a 750 crank I'll have lightened. The head is fairly fresh and has been ported. I picked up a Works shock to go with the '95 GSXR front end with 954 clamps. I already have an '88 GSXR front end with GSXR wheels front and back on the bike. Just a few parts left to pick up.

 

[lecroy]

I really like my HSR now that I have it sort of working. I need to go back and try and lean it out a bit more but the clutch is still a bigger problem.

You changed the needle and seat for the float then? With mine I could not run any pressure unitl I did this.

Here are some preliminary shots of the Busa swingarm fitment to my bare frame.

Grinding away on the frame....

Making sure it fits.........

......and the difference in pivot bolt size, nessecitating the bushing between the stock GS pivot (.625") and the stock busa pivot (.980")......

The bushing is at the machine shop as I write this. The owner said "$50.00, maybe less". I still need to locate, & weld in the top shock mount, and the forward lower linkage mount. These pic's show the rear battery tray bracket still in place, but that's now been ground off the frame to make way for the top shock support.

I'll update in the performance mods section as I get more pictures taken.

If there's anyone else out there who's done this particular mod, I'd love to hear from you. Especially if you're STILL DOING this mod.

I was going to adapt a '93 banana swingarm to my 700 so I could take advantage of newer shocks. I got lucky a week or two ago and spied a Works shock in the Parts For Sale section and got it before anyone else. My bike is already a Full Floater so I'll go with the Works shock for now and if I ever wear it out I'll either get it rebuilt or go ahead with the swingarm swap. I was going to have to do what you did grinding the frame and making up bushings. In my case my stock bushings would have worked for the transition by shortening them up a bit.

 

[Kaptain Ketchup]

Some more pics from over the weekend.

Lecroy, yeah I changed the needle and seat and changed the fuel inlet on the carb from a 90 degree turn to a straight on feed.

Lookin good mate

I've got 1 stripped 1100E, two kat 1100 frames and a 7/11 without motor in my garage now. 3 spare motors and lots of kat parts so who knows.....

oh yeh..and my monster landshark is resting in there too.

whats going on??

whats going on??

My garage is pretty busy this winter, I have a 77 gs750 I'm fixing for a friend for his first bike, I'm turning an 82 gs 1100 GL into a GK for a friend and I'm parting out a 84 magna as well as the normal winter maintenance on my cb900c. I've got my hands full :? :? :?


Hey ogri, how did you get your bike up on that handmade bench? I don't want to spend a ton of money on a comercial one.

 

[xDUKEx]

been at it since november and things have went real well !!!! now its time to dig into the motor. dyna s ign, pods, jets.

 

[GER144]

SPDJUNKIE, what frame are you using with that Busa arm? Is it an 1100? If I remember correctly, when I was checking the fit of a Busa arm into my '81 1100E, it looked like the pivot part of the arm was going to hit the back of the engine cases? Have you checked this yet? I'm curious if you have room there as the Busa arm is way bigger at the OD of the pivot.

Kaptain Ketchup, cool turbo bike man! I am working (slowly) on a turbo GS (Katana) right now too.
