Snorkpipe

Have taken 2mm off the head to get the compression ratio close to where I want it at 12:1, took some bravery to instruct the machinist to let rip.

no more sharp steps, that's all the ports are getting

bottom shock mount now fits the linkage

Swingarm braced

Ignition and fork springs

R1 shock re-sprung

Thanks @Mr Vapour

Plenty of room for improvement. Cleaned all of the valves today, CC'd the head and dropped it off for a big skim last week, dug some GSXR1100 cams out of the spares box today
 

First shiny stuff arrived earlier this week. Now these are joined by fork springs and an ignitech.

R1 shock is re-sprung, and needs a shave for clearance in the linkage. Carb parts are off for machining to try and get teh MJN needles to fit.

Getting fixed this week

Dropped of to @Mr Vapour this evening

Factory flatslides will be modified for the bigger engine

Not sure yet how I'm going to fit the Yoshimura MJN needles into these carbs yet, but I'll give it a go. I may yet run this bank of carbs on my 750

Cardboard bracing all sticky taped in

Stripped down to a bare frame, it fits into the turbo wash at work.

Lots of parts to go for refinishing, and frame is off to have bracing welded into it this weekend. Anyone who's ridden a slabside GSX-R will know why, they're pretty flexible.

This is my 3rd, number 1 is sitting next to it, and number 2 is in storage.

Fairings all ready to go for paint. Ordered loads of parts today

I accidentally won an auction for a GSXR that I didn't need, now I've got it and have offered for a mate to ride it to Wellington in 6 weeks. Time to get my shit together and start building

@cletus, do you have any contacts for LVV cert on a motorcycle? I'm looking at doing an engine swap which would increase CC rating from 750 to 1200

@Mof Diaphragm clutch fingers can come away from the flywheel as the clutch plate wears, it depends on where the pivot points are in the clutch cover.

Yep. Will get a better picture next time I'm in Whangarei

How will that help? Pic doesn't show it very well, but there are a couple of bends there. Where it is welded to the floor is not affected though.

Will this require work before compliance? Unibody car

Wheelbase, weight, and suspension all play a part as well. Same as on a bike

Looks like great fun. Please make a heat shield for that pod, it's as big an improvement as changing the dump pipe, and cheaper.

From my understanding MAP sensors measure absolute pressure, that being pressure above a total vacuum (like in space). Bearing that in mind, they should self correct for altitude in an NA application, and the point is moot in a forced induction application.

If you've mapped for partial load using MAP, then the ECU will theoretically use that part of the map even at WOT

Scania's image archive has loads of old gear on it. Some are even kiwi trucks

A bit of a woopsie a few years back on  the Brenderwyns near Whangarei
