Some interesting bits on it,
I like the cooler in the headlight hole,
Cowls to fit the bigger oil cooler and I don't mind the tail.
Still twin shock !

Zook need to bring this exact configuration out, exactly how they should be!Quote:
Then I said to myself. "Large you should get a bike going that would be nice to do a few hunderd ks on and also be good to strap a sixpack of cleanskins on from Dan Murphy's"...like maybe a Katana.
So I checked my stock in the store room and found this handsome fucker that's been sitting for about 9-10 years.

Tyres are good- I can press my thumbnail into them no probs. Just need to fix the fork leak and I think I'll be going back to twin shocks on the back.
Maybe even get the Autosol on to the wheels if I'm bored one day.
Thats nice Rich! You want to swap or sell, swap you my Bandit!!!!
Pity they have fook all in Australia to buy Si, everything I own is Icon but short from importing it nobody stocks anything. Sucks ballage..Quote:

I was thinking about making a Bandikat with one of my B12s you have slightly inspired me to do something..
Cleaned the treacle/gunk out of the carb bodies and jets. Cleaned the plugs (Bam ftw!) Fresh fuel and a new battery=

sound't a little tappety on the left side valve gear - might have to pop the valve cover off to check the clearances again. Sigh.
Bet it still was happy dance Ben ... Top job looking great
How's it go
I've done a total of maybe 10km since bolting it together - and didn't get a clear run in traffic to be able to open it up - but feels like alot more mid range than before.
I also need to stuff around with the ignition bob weights to get more mech advance so i can retard the start timing to make it easier to light.
Shit hot mate, imo I'd just use a dyna s cause it's easier
Did u only do cams or did u clean the head up as well and how far over size did u go in the bore ?
Head's heavily ported, big valves, skimmed substantially, bored to 1170 (It was a stock bottom end running with aformentioned head/ 514B cams - had substantial mileage on it), cams are a VHR042 on the intake (.348/257* @ 050) and a Cam motion G3 on the exhaust (.345/256* @ 050) on brand new rockers, welded second gear and replaced a few others, high volume oil pump gears, modified pickup and removeable oil strainer, modified the cases for better breathing between the left side cylinders... RS36s, an old megacycle header and an oldskool Yosh can... I've already reworked the wiring a bit once for the Dyna rev limiter, can't be fucked wiring in a full dyna - also, trying to keep costs down (LOL!)
My set of slotted cam gears didn't quite let me put the timing on the exhaust cam where I wanted it - it's a little advanced (by about 2 or 3 degrees over what I want), but opening the exhaust early probably helps with the slightly restrictive can...
Have you checked the Ignitech ignition stuff.Quote:

Dyna s simply replaces the points unit under the cover and feeds the coils simple cheep easy and work really well
Ingntech do some really interesting stuff but I'll stick to a dyna cause I know they work (2000 or 4000 depending how I set up the 8 plug head)
Some great specks there Ben, you weren't temped for bigger cams :-) joe gets some really nice laser cut tappet cover spacers made up... I'll need them as I'll be 400 or more lift, Scott is running 420's at just over 110 dec from mem on 29 smooth bores
It's hard to go past rs's they really work well and are good to tune
Fuck this air cooled stuff is fun :-) and can out of hand way to easy lol
Gsx motors have electronic ignition from factory, there's none of this points bullshit. Mechanical advance curve though, EFs got full electronic though. Yeah, didn't want to go too spastic on the cam specs, got to be able to use the thing, it's not a drag bike.
Oh, and an Ignitech box is on the shopping list for the other bike after the VJ23 race kit CDI set fire to a capacitor...
500 lift is drag bike 400 is still street bike lol in all honesty they are not a bad choose
You thinking coil over plug with the ignitech ?
Nope, will just use the vj23 specific ignitech as a programmable replacement for the race kit CDI.

Picked this up a couple of weeks ago, 84 750 pop tart. Been sitting since 09 but scrubbed up ok. Don't know what to do with it yet, think I might just leave it as is and ride it. I know it's not the full blown 1100 katana but it still a kat isn't it.
Nah, need to get my lathe sorted before I get stuck into any of those shenanigans.Quote:
