Title: Howdo
Post by: jimbob43 on Wednesday, 09 December 2020, 09:23 PM
Howdo and cheers for letting me join, bit of a cheeky join as I dont own a complete gsx14, I,m going to be using a 14 lump in a one off custom frame, with mostly custom bits, but the lump will be the heart of the build, will be seeking advice on tuning bits etc, a pic of my current build with a bandit 12 lump, the frame for the 14 will be similar

Welcome  :onya:

  Is that a Spondon frame? I remember buying Streetfighter magazines back in the day. Often fancied one but never got around to owning one.

Pop your location in your profile please, Very interested to follow your builds !

as far as whats possible, well, all depends on the $ you want to spend.

Here are some possibilities:

and how real-world daily rider you want it as opposed to say straight line speed etc.
For example you could bolt on a turbo but in my opinion that's not ideal for a daily rider.


My bike has a Power Commander, Akro exhaust and Yoshi Stage 1 cams. Which is more than adequate for a bike like ours.
Remember it's all about the TORQUE more than top end HP.
