Well I have always been a well organised person so on buying an 87 GSXR750 I decided I would street fighter it and turn it in to a 7/11. For the infants reading this a 7/11 is a GSXR 750 with an 1100 motor stuffed in it. These were pretty popular in the 90's but a much harder to find now.
So I have the GSXR 750, next I scored a GSXR1100 for $1000, from this I only want the swingarm, rear shock, brakes and wheel and maybe the front end.
Next I found a 1200 Bandit that I bought for $1500, I only bought that for the motor but it came with a lot of extras that I can use as well.
The next step was to pull apart the 1100 for the swingarm and front end which I did last week. I also pulled the motor out of the Bandit Wednesday night so all I need to do now is strart pulling the 750 apart.
I hear you saying, hang on, you said 7/11 but the Bandit is a 1200, well the 1200 motor is actually just under 1200cc and it has more touque than the 1100 so will be more fun to ride.
