Longer forks

Longer forks

Just a thought, what if there was some form of a machined sleeve that slid through the top yoke from the bottom, designed in a way that allowed for the thickness of the top yoke or more. This would give us the much needed clearance we all need. Anyone following me here?

Yah, there are a couple companies that make such a thing for the Gixer 750s but not the 1100 forks

Good looking project.

The tax man is giving me some money back so the project can carry forward. I have picked myself up an undercut transmission on ebay. I think I will give Stan Gardner a call to get my crank and clutch sorted.

 

[drhermanstein]

Awesome glad to see you're going forward. I still feel a bit stunned for giving up. You interested in my flat 4-2-1 header?

 

[Guest]

I may be interested, do you have some pictures of it? Can an oil and filter change be done without removing it?

 

[drhermanstein]

Changes are possible. I built it with that in mind.

My biggest reason for making my own header was ground clearance. A Mac 4-1 was a full 3 inches lower than mine. It is welded together now as well not just tacked.

 

[Stormstyles]

Wow !!! I like watching this bikes coming together. I wish mine was going faster but o well.

CBR954RR triples are already stepped. You have to use a complete 954 triple, but the GSXR forks will bolt in and still allow the use of GSXR wheels.

 

[Guest]

Woot! Won a falicon prepped crankshaft on ebay last night. I have also aquired a KB top end oiler and some slotted cam sprockets.

looks good, now you need to find a straight cut clutch gear to match you crank

yeah, and lots of other stuff...the list never seems to stop growing.

 

[Guest]

I would like to get some advise from you guys with regards to building the motor. What parts am i going to need in addition to what I already have or going to order?

I Have:

Top end oiler
welded crank
undercut trans
slotted cam sprockets

​

To buy:

cam chain
manual tensioner
gasket set
HD main bearing studs
HD cylinder studs
HD head nuts
HD clutch hub nut
new transmission bearings
Straight cut gear for clutch
clutch hub rebuild kit

you may find that the cam chain is in spec, so no need for a new one, they usually last forever
cylinder studs are likely to be all right as well
i prefer factory cam chain tensioner but others may tell you otherwise
transmission bearings are heavy duty items on these bikes as far as i know
so, all up, you may be able to save some money from your list

Just looked at your pics again looks like who ever did your crank added katana rods (498). The kat rods are heavier duty then stock 1100 rods so i have been told.

Since you have the motor split i would go with a new hd cam chain, you plan to run cams i would guess and when you go to hd valve springs it puts more stress on the chain.

have you given any thought to ignition?

hd valve springs, they are realativly cheap and if you add them now you don't have to pull the head when you go to bigger cams later.

 

[Guest]

My plan for the ignition is to go the full Dyna 2000 route. As for the head I will have to take a look at it, I know the PO had the bigger valves put in but I don't know what all was done as far as springs and what not. It will be a little while before i can take a look because i am currently working 1300KM away from home.

I just remembered something else that I am adding to this bike...I am building my own wireing harness and figured a new fews block was in order. I decided on the Painless 70207. It has 4 ignition switched circuits and 3 constant hot, it is like having the coil relay mod built in

Tell me more. Where'd you get it?
