1400 rebuild

[Milts]

Great!  Right up my street that, wish I had it, my last 1400 was bad, but yours is a little bit more!!
I'm in the process of buying another shitty basket-case at the moment, & this one IS as bad!!
Enjoy the project.
My 1400 resto is here:https://www.dropbox.com/sh/u6cjwwu0ih5bsls/AABaZuXxDxPiGoGRRdZgPchYa?dl=0

Drar lord, first though was that it had been on the bottom of a lake.
That needs some elbow grease.

I've started taking bits off, everything is a battle, I need the clear out my garage for more room, my varadero is in the local bike shop for sale and I'm selling my DR800 supermoto too, but on the upside I've got a brand new K2 tank, a pair of shocks, some brake hoses & rear seat unit 

Have a look at www.rustypaint.com might do it with that and put the full blue/white body kit on my red/black K4

  Saw this thread for the first time .............. my current project is a '85 GSXR750, and there is some light pitting in the frame rails I'm concerned about.
If your 1400 was in my hands I wouldn't sleep.

I like the early oil cooled GSXR's. I've had a few.
Currently have an 86 1100G sat in my to-do queue.
I have a spare Bandit 12 that may donate its motor.

Any pics of your 750 ?

Going off topic,  i've always fancied a slab side too especially after seeing this beauty in a magazine from way back.

Tried taking a photo of a photo to post but turned out shite, but you'll get the idea.

I'll see what I can do.

This is what I'm working with ......... very early stages.
99 GSXR wheels, K3 Front end, K4 Swing arm.

Tank is 86 1100 .... for now.

Have motor, and going with the Yoshi half fairing.

Deciding if I paint, powdercoat, or, re-annodise the frame .......... a work in progress.

That's a great project. Feel free to keep us updated. There's a few folk on here who like older Suzuki's.  My Bandit lump was going into a GSX1100ET build, there's a fairly easy conversion to take the Bandit swingarm too but it depends on what else turn up.

I had a GSXR1100 Slabsider as a winter rat in the UK.
It was a bit of a cruel thing to do to it, but what the Hell!
It looked rough as guts but went surprisingly well,
even by GSXR standards it was a bit lively !

Strip down has commenced

[seth]

That's actually not as bad as I thought from what you were saying @Bob
Still plenty of work ahead if you but I'm sure you'll get it sorted .
