From what I gather, the advancer doesn't really add power so much as it smooths out the powerband and improves the overall rideability.

damn... I just found a perfectly good old 1989 Kat 750-pre (whole bike) for only $400 bucks. Potential donor bike here for my 600!!! Only bad part - the bike has 70,000+ km's on it.. so the engine is likely tired...

as long as the frame isn't junk
I really do not want to swap in another failing engine... but if I do, I would want the swingarm, sprockets, chain and exhaust (4-1) as well.... everything else would be up for grabs.

The price of $400.00 is apparently incorrectly posted - and the bike will be sold certified, which indicates a strong engine and tranny.... but leaves it up in the air as to how much they want for the bike. I was asked to call back mid next week.

Well I'm doing the gsxr 1100 upgrade in a 93 750 over the next 2 months. From what I've read I need the 1100 oil cooler, exhaust and alternator. How about the katana cdi and clutch system? Do I need the 1100 cdi and clutch lever/resevior and slave assembly? Will the katana throttle cable hook up? Will the katana coils suffice? What about the fuel system, does anyone know if the petcock and fuel line on the katana is the same dia. as the gixxer? I'm looking to gather up all the stuff I need to do the install before I start. Any other insight to the mod would be helpful...

I used everything from the B1200 except for the cooler the B12 cooler is way too little for the Kat. (will be the difference between a naked and a full-fairing bike I guess)
Another poi, I found the swingarm and frame too weak to handle the torque the new engine delivers (128Nm at 6800 rpm net), so I allready inforced the frame, but I'm still looking for companies making custom-swingarms.
I want a strong swingarm able to handle this kind of torque without cutting the subframe...
If anybody knows such companies, please let me know.

I'm running a 170/60 at this moment and I don't think a 180/55 will contribute in a significant way to more grip or even better looks, the bracing is an option I'm considering, but a lightweight strong swingarm would be my number-one. (combined with the black Marchesini magnesium rims I bought )

At first I've got to say, the current swingarm and frame are in mint shape, no (hair-)cracks, tears, dents, holes or whatsoever.
While railing hard I could feel the frame "react" its just not stiff enough, while testing the bike with the new engine on the Dyno, I could even clearly see the frame bending when I hit the throttle...
The swingarm is a heavy unit, but it's made of (cheap) steel which tends to be more flexible than alloy.
I believe anybody telling me the frame and swingarm are strong enough, but I experience something different and I don't like it.
Btw dragracing gives tremendous straight-on loads on the swingarm but that's not the same as the lower but uneven loads generated while railing I think and I'm sure the Gixxer swing is much stronger than the Kat-swing.
