    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

Did you modify the stock exhaust? Your exhaust looks different in the second picture. Did you cut a portion of the baffles? The system on my 78 looks more closed-in on the ends.

Gixxer motor to an 1150 motor? What type of mods?
Good stuff!

Thank you, chef,

I'm using a Bandit 1200 engine for quite some years now, engine is more or less stock, just a stage III Dyno kit and dual pods on the intake side and a decent race can on the ex side. Makes 130 hp.
When I decided to be part of some classic race events I had to re-implant my old EFE engine to meet the rules. Again same carbs 'n' zorst. Didn't have it on a dyno bench in that configuration.
Running gear: GSXR 1100 USD complete front end, inner stanchions extended by 30mm for more ground clearance, Wilbers suspension mod.
Rear end: RC36 single sider, modified to center bolt, 6" PVM wheel,
high adjustable Wilbers mono shock
BOS full stainless exhaust race system. Frame braced here and there.
 
Mindless and Pedda,
You guys absolutely ROCK!!! Classic steel being put to their design intentions; I LOVE that! New suspension only makes it better!
Great work guys, and if you've got more pics, this guy wants to see 'em!!!
THANKS!
-KR

I was looking for a foot clutch at first before i saw how you handled it.

Well, I can't take credit for the customization. As i said in my profile, Dusty Hambrick (out of Sherman TX) did all the work so far. As for the clutch, i don't recommend it. It makes stop and go riding unpleasant, at the least. I will probably add a air clutch or a foot peddle eventual. The throw on the shifter is a bit unmanageable as well, because the pivot is at the end instead of in the middle. It looks tough though...
