rear wheel swap for the friggin crazy....

[The Buddha]

XS, XS what 1100 ... I got a XJ1100 ... tranny trouble. However that is endemic to all 4 cyl XS'es and XJ's and only the 1100 is worth fixing, cos it can be done wihtout splitting the cases. Anyway, you have a USD on it and an FZ motor to fit in it Yikes. That thing is a humongous pig of a motor though.
Cool.

Yup, it was ambitious from the start - XS11 Standard. I have a habit of starting with whatever junk I have and then overcompensating - and overspending - to fix the deficiencies...hence my old GS. I had a nice, straight XS11 with a blown motor. So I parted it and kept the frame...did some measuring, made a stem and grafted on the busa USD front end...looked right. So I got a busa swingarm and wheels...mocked it up...looks good, but will need to extend the subframe to make the body lines flow. Then I found a spec race car manufacturer selling these FZ crate motors because their new cars used Rotax motors, and my old man had recently passed and left me a few dollars, so I took advantage and bought the motor. Then the wife got pregnant and we needed a bigger house, so the garage went into storage while the house was being shown, house sold, bought new house, moved, got a new job, had a baby, wife ruptures a disc and gets spinal surgery - and our lives turn into complete madness! So, as I was telling Ken earlier...the projects and parts stash is being liquidated to buy a nice, newer, reliable bike!

dan sold off the stang after the Wif said do what i want with it

looking at a 40 Ford tudor


remember the 53 chrysler in the mtns with no engine.....the hemi is in the trunk, in pieces .... he told me the other day....

Why do you do this to me?! You know I've been wanting to build an early Hemi powered hot rod! And that would look so right in my '40 Plymouth! Damn you!! I already have 8 motors littering my garage though...need anything? I'll sell 'em cheap! Two LA Mopar small blocks, 351Windsor, 302 w/C4, Flathead Ford V8, Ford 352FE, Chrysler Flathead 6, and the FZ mill...oh, and the tired ol GS motor - nine!

i like giving candy to the little crack head babies.....

i just find the sh!t....your job to say no

[albertinhouston]

Yes. that is I.   DR motor  because its a cheap motor... plain and simple. I was hoping the bandit frame would be much lighter than the gs 500 frame. but they weight the same somehow.  plus it is easier to swap parts on it. ex:  gsxr front and swap , 160 rear tire. , neater looking frame./
I have the gs frame here that is ready for a dr motor to be dropped into it.  mounts are made from when I had a different dr motor in it before. just need the motor.

Yup, Bandit has a taller neck that accomodates the longer GSF and GSX-R stems without the hassle of making a stem or machining one down, or pressing one out for the GS. Plus, with the engine as a suspended member instead of in a cradle frame like the GS I'd think solving exhaust clearances and things of that nature would be easier with the Bandit frame. And of course the B4 frame is just sexy! Looks like a mini Duc.

Houston dude ... you need a GR motor don't ya ... Geee RRR ... nor Dee RRR ... I have 1 or 2 ... yea something like that. I also have a GR motor in the GS frame and I am in Houston.

I've been gone too long. WHen did you go to Houston?!

[The Buddha]

3 months. Moved, I may only move back if I get fired. Which is a possiblity ...
Anyway, Charlotte was so great to us. Just the damn job thing was sucky.
When you got only 1 industry and 2 companies, that's the end result.
Cool.

what the hell are you talking about? I didn't understand a thing!

[albertinhouston]

ok......let me take a stab at it...... Are you telling me you have dr 650 motor in a gs frame? and if you do are you calling it a GR 650 now?.

It took me a while to come up with that. so I hope i'm close.   oh and if I am. did you get it from Ken? I talked to him a couple of years ago and I think he had a dr650 motor in something I can't remember what though. I think it was his race bike.

[spc]

No, the S-man is telling you that you want a GR motor and not a DR motor.  I believe the GR is significantly easier to rig into a GS frame than the DR, but Werease, Srinath and Dgyver are definitely the one's to confirm this for sure.

[albertinhouston]

what is a GR motor out of??? I have never heard of it. I want a single to put in the frame. If I had my choice it would be husqvarna motor then ktm,, dr,xr......

[The Buddha]

The GR was made 83 and 84 and is a 650 motor that even looks like the GS motor. Sorta direct fit. Light mods only to the frame. 2 of the 4 motor mounts fit it. Its a 2 cyl. I doubt it will rev as much but make more torque I think.
Cool.
Srinath.

[albertinhouston]

you know I just saw one of those on ebay. But it was a motor only no other parts so I didn't give it a second thought. I'm looking to use a single though....

[The Buddha]

Yea, a DR 650 types will prolly be more fun. The DR motor while is much taller than the GR, you dont have to yank the valve cover off to do valves, its got the little port type things to get to them. You dont have to cut the T brace and make it un boltable like I did. The DR also is lighter and some of the newer ones are pretty high performance.
GR motor is heavier than GS and the thing prolly is more torque, not neccesarily more power. The real benifit comes when you overbote the thing. I know of someone who is building an 851 off a GR motor.
Cool.
