Beowulf do stainless can hangers for the 1400.
The only issue you might have is at MOT time. If you remove the rear pegs it HAS to be a single seat bike. My tester is sensible though and lets it go :onya:

Thanks Froudy
I'm looking more for 1 single piece of Titanium from bike to pipe. Hidden too so it's just a Stay. It will be hidden underneath
Thanks for the heads up tho

@seth
Thank you for advice.
Reading service and Hynes manuals also make me think, removing front guide blade will help me to solve the chain issue... Will try this tomorrow.
:boogie: solved!
It was quit hard to take out front guide blade (apparently because of chain stuck), but as soon I get it out, issue was immediately solved!

seth

fantastic
just take your time getting it all back together
good luck 😎
happy to help  :cheers:
only a slightly modified gsx1400

I know what you mean - had similar experience many times, during my work (IT and electronics). Solving issue after the brake is rising up a question - why the hell I could not solve it yesterday?! It was so easy!  :doh:

I seen 43 years working on telecommunications faults - always walked away and went for a cuppa (or half a dozen pints back in the 70's ) and mostly it then just clicks what is wrong when you go back and often I used to think why hadn't I thought of that  :smile2:

Today I finally have my valve clearances OK (after yoshis install).
In total, have redone it now for 7 or 8 times :imrgreen: (just today 3 times) before I accept the result.

As one of the old engineers at my work was heard to say one day...

Double check it three times to be sure :imrgreen:

What a strange engineer. "Experts" and "Professionals" don't even check once  :coffeescreen:

I'm wondering - how this procedure is done during bike build at factories? I mean first time ever?

Waxed the tank after picking up from Brisol  :)
