This guy did it a long time ago.......perhaps some helpful info?

Yup

Yup, he did it along time ago so it is not anything new. I just thought I would share.
Anyone have a small taper, left crank throw/piece running around? GS1100 only. I need it for the next version of this as I try to graft a GSXR alt rotor and Sprague starter clutch to it.

All right then, thanks to Chris at motogpwerks, I have a dot head due to arrive today. From the results of my search it looks like I still need to collect a few things...
1). 750 oil pump gears
2). top end oiler
3). 1150 studs and HD nuts
4). GS adjustable sprockets

Am I missing anything else?

Thanks for your help!

I see you were not reading all my posts. The DOT heads are prone to cracking and good luck getting the carbs on and to fit under the tank. But I do have New adjustable cam sprockets for you along with an HD GS11 cam chain.
Interested?

Slayer, Call me at 714--356-7845. I will let you know of the issues you will have. The motor that is in my small tire chassis is a "dot" head & I originally installed it in my first 82 Burgundy bike chassis. With RS Mikunis I had to "re-shape" the bottom of the gas tank where the petcock hit the carbs. This motor has an 88 GSXR head on it & I built the engine in 2004. I have never had it apart since I built it. Still runs strong. I personally have never had the cracking issue that Gregg is referring to but he might have. Also, I believe the Katana 750 LATER "dot" head used a 10mm spark plug instead of the 12mm so if cracking were an issue it would be less so with that head. I could be wrong on that one, not sure. I do remember some heads had 10mm plugs for some reason. I have studs, cam sprockets, 750 oil pump gears & the plugs you need to block the front oil return holes in the bottom of the head. Ray.

Yes, the older version with large plugs. Seems to crack from plug hole to the exhaust seat. Either a bad casting, too much heat, or too lightweight of a casting. Rather hard to justify spend money on it when it cracks and needs to be tossed. Cracks are tough to fix. I have not tried the Katana DOT heads as really, not worth it.
So, do you want sprockets and cam chain?
