Eric kalamaja did cyl work for me

Post by aslsmm »

And I'm pretty sure I got sent a different cylinder and head. Has any one worked with him before? I don't want to slander him so I'm curious if anyone here knows him and knows if this would be an accident or intentional.

Glad to hear that it's cleared up.

What are you building - mild street or race or hot street resto mod or something completely different?

Real, converted TR or a replica?

I'd like to see that. Any pics that you don't mind sharing of progress so far?

Do you need pipes? The factory tr750 pipes are a bit outdated. ...... I have what you need.....

Are your pipes the cross through style from left side out past carbs to the right side? TR style.....

They're in a kit form similar to Kevin Hutchinson's

No. You don't need those. Did you say you wanted to race in the same class as me? In that case those are not the pipes you are looking for.. :ssh: :D

For a TR replica, Swarbrick pipes are the usual choice to wind through the frame. For drag race the D&D fabricated pipes would be a big step forwards.

I'll have 86 GSXR 1100 wheels (18x4.0 and 18x2.75), GSXR forks. GS1100 rear swing arm, cut and welded frame, different style tank, and non stock carbs...(more towards vintage road racing)
So it will not come close to being legal for the same class your in, unless the rules get stretched quite a bit.
Building it as a all around hell raiser, but would take it to the track even if it fits in a less advantageous bracket...just to run a Suzuki out there.
I was wondering if the pipe could have modern dimensions built to the motors needs, but done in a TR style?

Probably not. I would imagine that Kevin's pipes are far larger diameter than TR pipes, but maybe not. Speak to Dave at D&D chassis and see what he can do. He is a master at bending pipes to make them fit.

Longer swingarm puts it into the "Modified" class, but it's all about consistency, so almost any configuration has a home and a chance to win.
