Any interest in doing big 1000s ? Kits would be $900+ with sleeves.

Jay
 
Remove the stock sleeves, bore the block for new sleeves, bore & hone new sleeves for new pistons, bore upper case half to clear new sleeves. Definitely NOT a bolt on but not a big deal either. GREAT gain in torque & power! Build them JAY!!!! Ray.
 
so will the 900 hundred+ dollars include jay installing the larger liners and boring/decking ect.. for the new piston kit?
i think it was RC that had a 1176 kits many moons ago for the 8v suzuki's.

Mo money, MO money, MO money!!:D:eek::D!!!! But WORTH it!!Ray.
 
that could be near a 1500.00 piston kit total money spent.
alot of guys on this site squeal about buying a set of spark plugs...:confused:
IM KIDDING!!!
maybe:)
 
First time they grab a fistfull of throttle on a bigger motor they will squeal like little girls with DELIGHT!!! Ray.
 
What sort of hp would you guess a streetable big-bore conversion would return? That would certainly increase the popularity of the 8V motors!
 
Holy crap. I have a spare stock 1000 engine. I guess once my current project is finished, I'll just have to go for this. Count me in sometime around late spring/early summer.



Don't tell my wife!!

:-$

I could get 140 at the back wheel with porting, carbs, & the right cams & make it "daily driver" reliable fairly easy. Ray.

Sounds like a monster or beast plus. . . you certainly would have to have the crank welded as well to be reliable.
 
Just curious, but why do you need to sleeve the block when all these other aluminum block bikes are just coating the cylinders with one of these new, high speed coatings?

Wouldn't the bike run much cooler?

...or am I missing something. :-k

Cylinders on those bikes are designed from the start to be plated, GS engines are designed to use sleeves. Might be possible to build a cylinder from scratch with plated cylinders in mind but even that might not work due to the way the cylinders fit down into the cases.
