GSXR: Building a big pile of parts

So I have a total basket case of a GSXR in my garage... I am going to need more parts.

I have some experience with the GSXR/Katana/Bandit engines so I knew that I could swap a lot of parts to fit my needs.

One day I can across a Bandit 1200 complete exhaust system for sale locally. That was the easy part...

The hard part was finding the matching oil pan and pickup, which I ended up getting from the UK.


I will be using all stainless hoses for the oil coolers. I have gotten all the necessary fittings and adapers to use a late model GSXR 1000 oil cooler, to cool the oil going to the head which will be mounted in the upper fairing behind the number plate, and a curved Slingshot oil cooler for the main cooler.


The adapters for the oil coolers themselves were originally designed to relocate the oil cooler for a Hayabusa. I had to be creative with the adapter to get the oil from the engine to the small cooler. I ended up modifying an oil fitting adapter from a T3 turbo.
