Hank Scott. Just got my 1350 done....109.8ftlbs and 155.1hp. now that's gonna be fun. He said that's 36hp and 25ftlbs over stock on his dyno.
My stock carbs, stock cams.
Now I just have to put it all back together, and then sit and stare at it. Until the weather allows me to take it outta the garage.
let's see 36 more ftlbs and my bike weighs atleast 40lbs less than stock. Kookaloo!!!

I just  looked back at what he said was stock on his dyno 119hp and 74 ftlbs. That would make it almost 36ftlbs over stock! Have to go back and change the last statement.

Oh Dan, you are in for a treat. Nice numbers....Kudos!

First ride: 1) Start off on clean and dry roads only, till you get a good feel for the throttle.
              2) Easy does it when powering up while leaned over coming out of a corner.
              3) Take a piss *before* you leave....you will see what I mean, trust me.

What's the name of the bike? It is customary for all 1350s to have a name. Think about it.
We have Brutus, Thor, Wizzard, etc....

Enjoy

My Fzr1000 I had built. Was 187hp. Don't remember the torque but it had the lightened crank too.
I slid the forks up, to make it less wheelie prone. It would raise the front wheel about 2" and drive you with smoke billowing off the back tire.  The first time it did it I didn't even know the tire wasn't on the ground, until I went to counter steer for the corner. And nothing happened. Luckily because of excessive tire spin I wasn't really going that fast.
But yes I will ease into it. Not having the lightened crank or flat slides should. Make throttle control a little easier to learn.
And all that power easier to control.

It like my buddies built 2 stroke banshee. It fun to ride. But I'm always a lot faster on my 4 stroke 700 raptor. Because it's so much easier to use the power.

One z in Wizard Pat...  named after my 1975 pinball machine with the hottie Ann Margaret on the glass.



Machine celebrates the Pinball Wizard movie of the early 70's...  As does Captain Fantastic, the follow-on release with a very gay looking Elton John on the glass (along with dozens of hotties in various states of undress).  Definitely a bizarre f'ing movie, but to this day they are the highest selling pinball machines (CF is #1, Wizard is #2) in the US.

Too bad Brutus is taken. That was my nickname, back when I used to be a bouncer.
Maybe Popeye, I would have to use nitrous, as my spinach to beat Brutus. With the lightened crank and flat slides.
I don't know.
I'll have to wait until I get a chance to take it for a ride... I'm sure it will come too me... like holy fn shit.

I call my Black 87'..... "The Bus"...... The 89' with the raised rear and RPM fork valves handles so much better.

Have fun..... the extra torque of the 1350 is very addictive.

KOokaloo!

Hey GK,
Am Planning a similar build for my Radian (!986 FJ1200 Engine), did you end up using the factory cylinder block from your 86?

[giantkiller]

No Hank had a 1250 cylinder block that was sleeved.
got the engine back. Now I have to put it all back together! And workout the 2001 r1 swingarm. And a few other things.

What would be the best way to remove all the original fj1200 stickers. So I can replace them with the custom fj1350r stickers, that Jeff made for me?

[Joe Sull]

I used a razor blade to get under the decals. A lot pealed off with a lite pulling action. It took 20 min. each.

Maybe something like this Decal Remover
