Which Engine for a Special?

[chef1366]

If you do an 1100 crank motor, you can use an 1150 cylinder & bore it 3 mill bigger but instead of an 1100 becoming an 1166, you will have a 1229 that still looks stock cylinder. I have these pistons made all the time so I can get you a good price on custom pistons. The GS1150 head would be better than a GS1100 head but a GSXR head on the same bottom end is even BETTER! PM me if interested in details. Ray.

You can get 77mm pistons with 18mm wrist pins?? How much?

Yes, all day long! Got a set in my garage right now in fact! $600.00 made pretty much however you want. Pistons, pins, rings, clips, gas porting, etc... Let me know, Ray.

Hey Jim, that bike has an 86 Limited Edition dry clutch 750 seat & tail section on it if you weren't sure what they are! Ray.

Yea was not sure what it was; It doesnt have the dry clutch on it now though right? I did not see any open clutch anyway as I have seen in some other pictures.

This bike you showed on Craigs List is an 1100 that someone just put that tail & seat on. Only that LTD 750 had the dry clutch with that tail. Ray.

OK yea it is an 1100 with a Slingshot motor swapped into it. What about the fairing ; it has a Yoshi symbol embossed right below tje clip ons.

The bike was pretty clean for an 86 (cleaner than mine) but it certainly was not $4500 clean ; I think the guy woul be lucky to get $3000 as he really knows nothing about the bike and it has been significantly modifed. Teh monoshock has bee nrewelded to adapt a later model shock and it has a Fox shock on it, USD forks with 5.5" wheel 180ZR55 rear tire. A buch of junk parts from the conversion but he had collected a few pretty nice body parts I might get from him. He wanted to convert the tail back to stock????? I guess he forgot he would have to repaint the bike with the body parts he had.

With a nice paint job, alot of buffing and polishing and a few odds and ends (tires, rear shock) mine will be close to if not nicer (fresh paint and tires is allways really nice) as his and I wont be anywhere near $4500.
