Ok,
Here goes.. I have started looking into the future engine swap into the GSX750F and the most likely candidate is the GSXR1100 / Bandit 1200 motor.. Some people have told me it will slot right into a 750F frame .. others have told me there are some mods needed. The suggestions from there become interesting.
I am told the GSXR1100 motor is a little better than the bandits but others tell me that they are the same motor. I have also been told that it is possible to get an older GSXR750 Bottom end / Gearbox and fit it too a GSXR1100 top end, thus giving you the six speed gearbox, from what I gather that isn't possible on the bandit motor?
Now I am also looking at whether or not to get an old GSXR1100 motor and considering it will be rebuilt anyways - getting it bored .. I am well aware this is going to cost me $$$ but this is a long term project so its all good.
Jim at hand made racers put me on to dave at albion motorcycles .. but he seemed a little hesitant at the idea of fitting the motor but said putting the 750 gearbox on the 1100 top was ballpark 1500 bucks . so thats not too bad .. but what I wanted to know aside from opinions on my ideas .. also does anyone know someone that can do this or help me with this job .. especially up in QLD ..?? Like I said this isnt an ASAP thing .. I am kinda looking on my budget of a six moth to one year build time .. most of which will be getting the bitz and saving the cash for the job ?
I am just interested in people on here's opinions ..
