 :congrats: to all that purchased you will have access to replacement parts.  :thanks: I am currently not looking for a new supplier I am very busy with my new store none motorcycle related to all that have supported me you know how to get a hold of me, I'm always available for questions or brain picking. To the people that want them down the road here is your options TTS at $1200.00 shipped or more to the US from the UK (with theirs being 12 grams heavier each) or the new no hassle price in the US of $900.00 and i may still bother having a set made for you at 2 grams each heavier than stock.
cheers all and thanks for your business. :motorsmile:

 :thanks: to you for all your help over the last couple of years.
My bike would have been crap if not for all of your help. I hope to get the little B4 on a podium this year . . . .    :lol: . . .  No really.
I'll keep you posted as to how the whole thing is coming together.

Good luck and all the best for the new store. Keep us posted.

Can you tell me more about the big bore kit? I'd like to go fast in a little 400. Over 100 hp sounds good to me!

Does it come with all new engine gasket kit?

They still come with head gasket, base gasket, starter cover gasket, clutch cover gasket, cam chain tensioner gasket.

Then you also get a billet racing cam chain tensioner.

And act now and you get 4 count them 4 cast aluminum 3 mm bigger pistons with rings, pins and clips........


All for the amazing thanks to bush inflated price of $1000.00 and as a added bonus to the first millionth customers you get free shipping  :stickpoke: that's right free shipping world wide.... LOL

Is this kit easy to install for someone with minimal engine know how? LOL that is an inflated price. Can you provide images or a link to read more about the kit? How long to ship? I should have the bandit running soon so this would be a project for the cold winter months.

Can you get new after-market engine side covers?

Thanks, I appreciate the help!

bore and hone... if that easy? Gary dropped 4 sec's off his time as soon as he installed it and i don't by far think he is done dropping :stickpoke: his times. I will have to dig up a pick or two. I'm at work right now ad that stuff is not on this computer... I and you can get new oem side cover don't know of anyone making after market there are some Kevlar cover that cost a good penny you may find them in a search on here. No link really but this,  I'm not a dealer just a personal supplier. this was my fix for my ageing race bike and i offer it to other as long as its not a hassle to me.. This is more of a street kit that if you race you can definitely tune more power out of. They take me about a month to have done.
cheers

Surely the 100hp from a 400 is a joke ? What gains can you expect from the 442 conversion ? I remember reading British mag articles where they always tried to increse hp on 400's by means of cams, pistons etc. but hey always seem to get stuck at around 70 hp. Just seems that the 400's were always built with the 60 hp limit in mind and not much go fast goodies exists for them. I mean is the stock Mikuni carbs really the best you can get for them ? Is there no FCR type of flatside carbs avaliable ? That should make a nice improvement as well.

yes you can get flatslides and around 70-80hp depending on your state of tune...

So probably around 70hp for the non-flat slides with the GSXR cams?

I wish I would have bought this setup before the inflation made prices go through the roof...oh well, live and learn.

Which models came with the flatsides (GSXR 400 SP ?). Would really like to get hold of a set, a flatside made a huge difference on my dualsport bike.

Ok just read this thread

http://forums.banditalley.net/index.php?topic=9439.0

I basicly need Mikuni FCR's either 32 mm or 33 mm ? I have a 2nd gen 400VV Bandit.
