hey guys
just got some parts to build a gsxr based café bike.
Its an 1100 frame for sure, but not sure about the engine. the engine numbers are there, but the CC numbers have been ground away for some reason. theres a pic of the numbers, and some of the engine, I know they are common engines and came in loads of different CC variants, but one of you might be able to tell what it is just from looking I guess.
somebody has removed the lower subframe mounts and looks like they have moved the upper ones too, so I will have to make and weld some new frame tabs.
ive got a K1 750 front end to use, with a different upper bearing to fit the OD of the gsxr frame, and the ID of the 750 stem. tried that out before and that's all good, so no issues with putting the front end on.
I haven't got a swingarm yet. ive got access to a bandit 1200 rear wheel and swingarm and might go with that for now.
ive got a MK1 bandit 12 tank for it, its not a direct fit, but looks close enough.....the front mount will need to be extended to tuck under the lip of the frame, and the rear tabs where the side panels pushed into the tank need to be cut off, but id have done that anyway as its just having a café tail and I wanna keep it clean.
any advice about what rear end to use? swingarms and that I mean.....whats a good swap for these that doesn't need too much screwing around.
and if anybody could tell me more about the frame and particularly the engine, id be really grateful.
thanks fellas
