Re: GPZ1100B2 Ohlins Shocks / Others ?

I've just fitted a pair of standard showa cb1300 shocks to my B2. They are a bit longer than standard, fit straight on without mods and work really well, I had Konis on it before and they were good but these look more Lawsony!

Re: Refurbished crank problems

Spoke to crank company today, they recomended honing too but suggested i made my own tool out of 1/2in ally tube with a slot cut in it to allow some 120 grit wet and dry to be wound round to the diameter of the gudgeon pin then inserted into the small end and spun up good and fast on my drill while ...

Re: Refurbished crank problems

New Rods by the look of it. What honing tool do I use? So far smallest ball type hone I have located on the internet is 20mm - is that too big for my 17mm small ends.
Thanks for your help

Refurbished crank problems

Turned it over to pop on the pistons only to find No4 conrod small end is too tight. It's not the gudgeon pin as I swapped this with other rods and no issue...

Re: gpz1100 MLS Cometic head gasket

Thanks all - no one was answering their phone today so will try again tomorrow. This gasket is for my old B2 motor - the engine I was having all the trouble with now has a MLS gasket in it and has remained leak free for quite some time, long may that continue.

Re: 84 Z1100R

Hi, I have one, but they are extremely rare. Hence it will be hideously expensive! Do you want me to send a picture and a price? Dave
