hope to own a gsxr 1300 by than ^_^

Don't do it......I used to have a GSXR years ago and almost killed myself when an 81 year old female in her Datsun 1600 wiped me out.......too much power for 2 wheels anyway.

If I hit a car with my current 2 wheel steel horse, it'll just push the car out of the way, unlike the lightweight GSXR.

go a hayabusa (turbo) they look mad when done up right

i thought the sled would slice through the car instead :P

don't usually like those sorts of bikes but that 1s tough :spank:

is the bike quicker than the GTR?

Haven't had either very long yet so I'm not sure.

I've never really hammered either of them yet apart from a few short bursts here or there.

Bike's got a 100ci (approx 1630cc) engine. Unlike the high revving Jap bikes, its more of a torque monster and alot heavier than them.

judging by the seating position on the bike, sustained high speeds would tax ur arms somewhat cos u'd sit up and effectively be a parachute... could prove hard to hang on. Don't have farings (spelling?) to hide from the wind. no doubt that tourqe monster would have a whole bunch of get up n go, accelerating at an alarming rate would be no hassle :)

just my 2c

Yeh Carl, ur pretty much on the money there. The bike was designed to be a show bike and a weekend cruiser so it's not goin to do a 1/4 mile in 10 seconds......having said that, it's torque that gets you across the lights and this metal monster has plenty of that.....it'll tear up bitumen with that big rear!

And ur right, that seat height is low......about 6 or 7 inches lower than the lowest Harley including the FXDL Dyna Low Rider.

yeah Pete, designed as a show bike but no doubt it hauls ass

i reckon it would leave me sitting at the lights scratching my head :)

for 1600odd cc's that'd have huge torque for what about 200odd kilo..... my old man has a Vulcan VN1500, a Harley lookalike basically, thats a 1500cc and a fairly quick bike for 300plus kilo!

Not bad at all for a water cooled.......would be a great cruiser on a long run.

    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
    • ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.
    • And if you have to drill the oil block, then just drill it for 1/4" and tap it BSP and get a 1/8 to 1/4 BSP bush. The Nissan sender will go straight in and the bush will suit the newly tapped hole. And it will be real strong, to boot.
    • No it doesn't. It just needs an ezy-out to pull that broken bit of alloy out of the hole and presto chango - it will be back to being a 1/8" hole tapped NPT. as per @MBS206 recco. That would be for making what you had in alloy, in steel. If you wanted to do just that instead of remote mounting like @Duncan and I have been pushing. A steel fitting would be unbreakable (compared to that tragically skinny little alloy adapter). But remote mounting would almost certainly be 10x better. Small engineering shops abound all over the place. A lathe and 10 minutes of time = 2x six packs.
