Re: If anyone has time to read this.......
No problem, thanks for looking Chris. I had a good conversation with Roger........ eventually might do something with him with my current head and barrels, after talking it through with him I'm getting the 1100 et complete head and pistons and barrels that I had seen and that John had highlighted to me. Roger knows the guy up in Blackpool, he seems ok...fetching from him on Saturday. barrels, pistons, rings and complete head + a few other bits and pieces he said I could have for £150. Should get me back on the road

Re: If anyone has time to read this.......
Why dont you let Roger work his magic on the head before you fit it, and release a few more extra BHP.......when I was talking to him a few months ago with FBJ he said he could get about another 10-15 BHP out of a standard cyl head by just tweekin the head in a few places.

Re: If anyone has time to read this.......
After having to lose the 1000 top end, replaced with 1100 head, barrels and pistons..........
Decided to update running gear
GSXR 750 USD forks, Bandit wheels with 180 back tyre, ZXR9 calipers. Front drive cog is 3/8 offset with 530 chain. Homemade brackets for clocks on GSXR yoke.
Used existing swing arm with new bracket weld to take underslung brake torque arm.
Lots of little niggles but ready to ride
