Well this is how it started, these blokes got sick of waiting for me to get off my lazy arse so organised a visit one friday night to get the 750 out and the 1100 in! You can see the thread here http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=11123
Turns out when you put bandit headers on you need a bandit sump[:I] took a bit of getting but after it turned up there are a couple of differences, the main one being that the oil return pipe has a tag welded to it that stops the oil from a valve sqirting straight up onto the crank, which needed modifying, see pic

I do, should be nice and fuck off loud, or keep that hotdog and chop the end of the exhaust so the tip of the hotdog comes out near the front of the tyre.

mm, would love to hear that exhaust.

gibbo

That photo above shows the K4 back end in place as well. Lotsa people said it wouldn't work but with some advice from Doc I went ahead nervously ( thanks Doc :D ) After a bit of Ivaneering ( that'd be engineering by Ivan, aka Latheboy ) in making some spacers and a new rear shock mount it went in pretty bloody easy [8D].
Had to move the battery and alter the wiring and I'll get some more pics up soon.
Gotta say though that Latheboy is a fucken genius, despite what the stories and pics from moto gp may suggest.

A pic of the temporary shock mount by Ivan. The bottom mount is the all K4 except the linkages are from 750 SRAD, along with the spacers for the shock and swingarm pivot it goes straight in :D Rode it down to the Island for the gp and it handles fine, have not gone real hard yet as that was it's first outing and have not rejetted the carbs so not running at it's best:(.
The exhaust sounds great, pretty loud though[:p]

nice work gibbo/ivan - interesting solution to the top mount issue - so you used the K4 susp rocker as well?

gibbo
14-10-2008, 03:22 PM
Yeah, K4 rocker, just change the linkages, fits like it shoulda been there. Doc had already used these linkages but he went a different top mount idea.

Watto

cheers mate

I got a couple of different ones to try out on mine - one from a hayabusa and an rgv as the 03 750 arm I got did't come with any and they were the shorter ones I came across

Docktor
14-10-2008, 06:44 PM
Looks spot on gibbo. It bolts in so easy don't it ?The srad dogbones are the perfect length. I am still a little concerned about the top mount. There gunna be some serious force on it but if Ivan says its good, then its good. Champion effort indeed.

latheboy
14-10-2008, 08:50 PM
I've thought about the top shock mount quite a bit as i did something very similar on mine when the SSSA went in .. Im in the process of making another mount as that is V1.0 the next one will be one piece 6061 AL.
About the force's, i have thunk and thunk and come to the realisation that fuck it, <s>it's only Gibbo </s> ummm i mean the cross bar where it mounts is the strongest part of the frame and the engine mounts on the other side of it so it's tie'd in really well.. It's a super strong part of the frame so for it to twist and shit it self you would have to jump it off a 10 story building and hey it's a Suzuki:DIt'll still ride like a weapon... [8][}:)]

Here the mount from mine, Knew I had a pic of it somwhere. Thats a bit of 10 mm alloy slapped in and welderisised in. You can see the original 750 top mount underneath it. From <s>slutguts</s> gibbos pic it looks to be in about the same position as mine. Must get over n sus his shop out one day...........empty pockets in............ full pockets out..............

Hey Watto, there is a thread on oldskool suzuki about this mentioning a busa rocker, I'll try and dig it up tomorrow.

Hey gibbo, was there anything else you had to modify to fit the sump on?

gibbo
21-10-2008, 07:24 AM
There are a couple of bolts that are different lengths and the plunger as discussed earlier http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=12146&SearchTerms=sump
otherwise it bolted up.

Make sure he polishes it Iv, dont let him degrade the time and effet you've spent by just bolting it on[^]

gibbo
23-10-2008, 08:49 AM
No polishing, it looks fantastic as it is, tooling marks are cool!!!! Not that you'd understand!

latheboy
23-10-2008, 10:02 AM
^^^^^^^ No polishing on this part, if you can see the machine marks you know it was made and not some crappy cast thing

gibbo
23-10-2008, 12:08 PM
Just had a visit from Stewart ( S W Racing ) who is a suspension specialist, if you've done ride days at the Island he is the guy on call there. Got him to have a look at mine as when I had two up the other day the bottom of the seat subframe hit the top of the swingarm brace, he says I need shorter dogbones which will lift it up a little and should improve the handling also. When I find out the proper length I will post it here.

Ivan - how long does it take to knock something like that up?

latheboy
23-10-2008, 07:55 PM
I took my time and didn't rush it and it come in at about 7 hours..There are alot of different set-ups when starting from scratch ... I love making stuff like this, there is over an hour just in filing.. Gotta have have a nice finnish on the radius's

Thought I'd show the front with the light mounted, it has to move forward a bit as it gets hit by the brake splitter but you get the idea. I want to remove the two lugs that used to mount the old lights, will this affect the integrity of the frame at all do you think?

Still trrying to sort the calipers for the K2 forks, need to sort out a rear subframe, got a K2 but it look too fat :(. Pretty happy with the size of the old one, might have to make something up myself, just need to find some time:(

Thanks but so do I, need something different.

pappas
30-10-2008, 10:34 AM
Gibbo have you got the complete K2 subframe or just the plastics?

gibbo
30-10-2008, 12:02 PM
I've got the plastics, subframe and seats although the pillion seat needs recovering.
