a couple questions about 7/11 7/12 swaps.

[boilerdude]

So I have a parts bandit with a bad tank and a few parts handed over to my riding bandit. but a good motor. Needs all the gaskets replaced and had a look over but nothing should be too bad about it. Never missed a gear anyway.  Anyway lets just move around why i had it sitting in the first place but skip to now and it serves well as a parts bike. Well now im getting the 7/12 itch. that motor wants to be put into a gsxr 750. I can hear it calling from the garage.

but should it be a slabby or a slingy? and here's the couple other questions that I have for right now.

can bandit wheels go onto a slabby 750?

can anybody point me towards any bst38ss jetting info about the carb swap? I'd probably just run k&ns again for convenience.

Which one would you pick?

To that motorcycle forum guy who is always like "I wouldn't pay more than 2 for either of those" dude that doesn't happen around here anymore. you get a clapped out banged out painted piece of shit for under 2. or a nice kat 6.
The slingshot I can see nobody wanting yet cuz it's pittsburgh and the thing is pink with a pink screen. but the slabby will probably be gone within a week even at the premium.

which is ok. It's ok if they both slip by. there will be more. but maybe not for a month or 2. if I'm watching like a hawk...

So sort of which one is more worth the effort. I'm sure the slingshot has the better chassis and with pure effectiveness in mind should be the obvious choice. And has the carbs I can use and proper wheels already. But the slabby is well you know. just badass anyway. its the original. and it's red and black. And it could be worth more when it's done.

Just for fun. Any input is welcome and appreciated.

If the slabby is original why to mod it.
Anyway, everything fits more or less.
What gen bandit 12?

[boilerdude]

1st gen. Why?. because an original one is exactly what i would want to swap. and have an original looking 1987 gsxr 750 sleeper with a 1200 motor. I'm not doing it to a scuffed up spraypainted shitbox.

It's not like I said I'm gonna nick the tail and do a bobber or make it a cafe or anything.



Fuck original. I want THAT

[kokolis]

Ok, I get it, haha.
Rear wheel is easy, just use a compi from the spacers and rear disc and its hanger as a set. You will need to sort the
torque arm though for more clearance.
Front, a complete set would be the easiest, otherwise you have to define what wheel, discs, calipers, speedo drive.
From a mk1bandit or slingshot I can guide tou through if you want.

[boilerdude]

Thinking it over. I just like to have a good picture of what I'm getting into before I get into it.

is the countershaft length the same on a b12 and slabby 7 motor?

I do have an complete bandit front end. So that would be a good swap + clip ons of some sort I reckon. then re mount the guages and retrofit whatever needed to make the speedo work.

[boilerdude]

anyway i think he might let me come see it fir $2500.
the pink bike we're at 2 grand.

maybe i just need both the bandits and just a blade. or a bird

[kokolis]

The countershaft is shorter on the 750.
The 5.5 slingshot rim has just enough clearance, the torque arm touches the tire.
You can keep your own front but you wil need calipers from a slabby 11.
A more modern front will give also brake advantage with other calipers.
The bandit front is too long for the slabby

[boilerdude]

whats a good whole swingarm swap on the 750? for that whole modernish look. whithout throwing off the geometry in a bad way.

[kokolis]

The swingarm is not a problem for a 5,5 rim, other slingshot or wc will fit but them are longer
