Topic: New pipe on the GS for Juha

[Jim F]

only if he wants to come over in April
I shelved the SS Supertrapp for a Competition Bassani System and this thing has a bark to it
hope it makes better power than the Supertrapp but I think my shop vac made more power than it did

Get painted and off to the dyno........(NO I AM NOT USING WRINKLE BLACK BILL...... )

[MRieck]

That is a really great pipe Jim...really. Very quiet too. 

[Leino]

Hey Jim, nice find!
Me coming over is not a matter of will but simply depending on finances

[Bill/BentON Racing]

Jim,real good,we ran those on the built CB1100F's,REAL QUIET....Samauto on steroids!! Bill

[Jim F]

this one is NOT quite as there is no baffle and  4 inch dia end pipe
I will have to make one but would really like to find someone that has the
competition baffle that I can copy.

Its here if you can make it Juha just let me know
as soon as I get the baffle made its going to the dyno for a tune
and it will remain a street bike

[Bill/BentON Racing]

Have an old tail section,baffle in it? have to check.They are VERY LOUD no baffle,but oh so sweet,1122 Ontario kits and cams and 33 smoothbores.What a sight and sound! Bill

[Jim F]

it use to have one but its wasn't part of the deal when I bought it
or at least he didn't have it anymore................
need a picture to replicate or prints or a sketch or something................
Or I will just make one that I think will work and still be some what obnoxious and annoying

[Leino]

I received a textmessage today from my mechanic, or should I say a friend who I've known for well over 20 years...
A few years back I let him ride my street-GS, 1166cc, JMR-head, Cam Motion G4 cams, RS40's etc. etc. you get the picture.

As most of you understand, a ride like that can get you all "inspired".
Ok, so we found him a 1982 Katana 1100 project bike, I helped him every way I could, gave him a list of parts he needs to buy, ordered stuff from the States, contacted Mike about the head porting and so on -> he spent a fortune in parts etc.
1135cc Wiseco, JMR-head, Stanley Gardner crank, FBG undercut transmission, the list goes on and on.

Yeah well, there was a long term relationship ending, (for him, not for me)
and all the usual sh1t we people go through and now things have come to the point he wants to sell the bike as it is now.

He wants someone who knows what it's worth to buy it and I really, really feel I have to adopt the bike

This affects pretty much everything I'm gonna do next year but in a way I would be lucky to buy that bike, after all I picked all the parts and put the engine together... I know exactly what's going on and I've always dreamed of owning a Katana 

Did I mention it's REALLY CHEAP?!?

That engine does have the good stuff in it. That head is mint....I remember porting it.

[Jim F]

Hummmm
How to get it to states?
He doesn't have the baffle that I need does he?


And how much is cheap?  that stuff would really turn my GS in a sleeper

Sleeper?? Now didn't i read somewhere that it was not going to be a race bike but remain a street bike??? Why the need for the hipo parts just to cruise the streets?? Seems like Jims got something up his sleeve. Lol.

[Bill/BentON Racing]

Frank,he's been bitten by the BUG! Why spectate if you can do it? Way to go Jim....ought to buy the A with the turbo!Just my .02...do I got .02?lol Bill

[Jim F]

Ive never been able to keep a secret

The lay down bike using the GS big motor with the turbo...................

anyone interested in riding the monster...............not me

[Leino]

Sounds like a plan 

[Jim F]

Lets see
1500cc with 30lbs of boost
and a shot of nitrous to get it off the line until the turbo spins up
then hold on to your nickers

[Jim F]

I just knew it...........
Sam has another bike that no one knew about

Jimmy, when you get old, you can't remeber everything that you've done
I forgot to put my visor down on that run and the wind ripped my specs of at the top of the strip.

Sam.

I guess it was contagious because Bill caught that too

[Sam Green Racing]

Oh yes, I DO remember that little misshap.

Jim,

Are you looking for a chassis to put a turbo motor in? Let me know if thats the plan.

[Jim F]

I still need to put the training wheels on the CBR and see if this is something that I might want to do

but I keep hanging around you guys and you never know

I will never make a lay down turbo bike but I might turn my SOHC into a street turbo
and the GS a sleeper street bike If Juha gets all the parts he suppose to be getting

I am not going to sell the GS so I might as well start that on the project list (But still thinking about that)
but its still a very nice original street bike that has never seen track time with only 17k on the clocks

But

The reason i asked is you were inquiring about the lay down set up in the 750A ad. I actually have a GS car tire conversion chassis with one piece Katana 1100 fiberglass body along with the wheelie bars. It needs a set of wheels and a front end. I used the wheels on my Top sportsman bike. I think i may have parts of that front end someplace but not sure.

[Bill/BentON Racing]

Frank's barn again?.......Well the batcave yielded this:

Jim,I think it came off one of those built CB1100F's.

It is big!

Yes it has baffle! Bill

[Jim F]

 Nice Bill
I will get with you later (Maby this weekend)
would like to take some measurements

thanks
J
