    making a colortune

    Since i am trying to cut down on special tool costs (i just want to many) I found a DIY tutorial for the colortune on flyingbanana. It is good but the chipping away the porcelain is blunting my chissels in no time. And it?s difficult, easy to damage the metal etc. I found an easier way and...

    GS 750 8V Airfilterbox WARNING !

    My GS750 8V airfilterbox seemed to have some rust at the pipe where the venthose is connected. To be on the safe side with a rebuild block I removed the airvent section with a Dremel and a side angle tool (Dremel 575) and some grinding discs. A pain in the b. job but i got it out. Here is...

    Transatlantic picture quiz.

    And the winner for the first correct answer and description is Ed. The extra prize for the good photo goes to Rich. Pedal bars are banned in parts of Amsterdam (downtown) because of urinating in public, public drunkenness and blocking bicycle paths. That last fact causes most complaints ;-)

    750/850 hybrid pistons search

    I did not know they made reliable Honda pistons (i never look at their forum :-#) For me this is a challenge building a block from the ground up. And this is the first time i am looking for upgraded pistons. The idea of forged pistons and higher compression seems nice for tuning.. The different...

    750/850 hybrid pistons search

    Well, Cruisin image sells a set for 150 $ compared to 440 $ for a original 1mm oversize set. Not that the original set is available but the huge difference made me suspicious. There are no long term reviews, it seems to good to be true and cheap is often expensive. I might be wrong but i don't...

    750/850 hybrid pistons search

    Hi Chuck, Thanks for the offer. I am gonna pass cause i don?t want to go over 71mm. Maybe i just use my old 750 bank and go for the Wiseco?s. I have a 850 cv head and vm 28mm. carbs so that should give it some flow. First thing will be welding the crank and put the cases together with new seals...

    Thanks Zed, Just what i needed to know ! The bore is no issue, the liners can easily take 2mm. more. (69mm original) I will contact Nick when he?s back.

    750/850 hybrid pistons search

    I am building a Suzuki GS750E with GS850G cilinder block and head. The cylinders fit the casings after some persuasion. I expected to buy some nice forged pistons but all i can find are the 69mm Wiseco?s for the 750 block. Then I saw a set of 71 mm GS1000 MTC Pistons at SPS. (no affiliations)...

    8V 750/850 top end swap

    I got a cilinderblock from ?79 and it had interference. Not shure wich year the casings are. Just the last inch or less on the front half circle of the cilinders and a bit on the rear corners of 1 and 4. The dremel helped out great.

    GS 750 E air filterbox rusts at the breather pipe

    Altough i love my air filterbox ( easy to remove vs 1000, easy acces to carburettors) there is something that?s bothers me. The pipe where the breatherhose is connected is rusting away and leaves bits of rusts in the pipe. The top part of the airbox has a path straight to the airfilter (not...

    8V 750/850 top end swap

    I have read about it but can?t find it anymore. The first gen. 850 cylinders should fit the 750 (8V) casings. But what was that little detail about clearance; was it a problem with the second gen. 850 ? Or do the first gen. also need to be cleared ? I don?t want to grind the loaded cases and i...

    Canada restrictive exhaust.

    I want to thank you all for talking me out of my obsession that my exhaust was wrong. Because i had cleaned my carbs and because i have an electronic ignition i thougth it was the only possible cause of the lack of power. After marking the timing and disassembling the ignition i found out that...
