Hmmm, alright. I'll just run the re-jetted VM26's probably until the motor is broke in and then slap the pumps on and see how it runs. If that doesnt work do you think removing the pump and running them without it would be an option?

It will run alright with the pumpers..just that theres not really any super awesome advantage to them. I mean unless your really cracking the throttle like a maniac thru the gears then theres not much real effect from any extra pumping of gas by them thats all I am saying.

ahhh ok, that makes me feel a lot better. Cant wait to get this bike rolling and see what a difference those pistons make.

Here is the steering damper and bracket welded up




The oil cooler will mount just below it and should be in today as well.

Alright, so I have an 81' 1100 swing arm mounted, with a 4.5" gsxr 750 rim. Do I center the tire in the swing arm? or do I align the rear tire to the front? I did a search but couldn't find anyone doing a 750/1100 swing arm swap with 4.5" rims.

Has anyone had any luck with running vm28's? Let alone ones with an accel pump?

My buddy Jim has them on his KZ1000ST. You need to shut down the pump when tuning/plug chops or it will cause you more trouble.

Thank you for the info CafeKid. Would I just back off the actuator arm so it doesn't engage the pump?
