GSXR Front End ( Not Katana FE ) For Sale

[Big Shot]

Uh huh...

The pic?

Just wanted a laugh.

And i know i got it from somebody!


Peace, Bob!

[The Buddha]

Sheesh, do I have to do everything around here ... WTF sorta defense is that.
Katana rotors are 280 mm, the GSXR1100 ones which by extension means yours are 295 (someone told me this a few seconds ago, he may have mis measured my GSXR) maybe 300 mm.
Slotted rotors dont work as well, especially in the wet. Drilled is way better. But you can drill it.
Yes your brakes are better, but its got nothing to do with your calipers.
Cool.
Buddha.

[Big Shot]

Now that we're getting things cleared up, you wanna tell everyone that your full of chit about this comment too?

"Your front end I believe is remarkably similar to a Katana 1100 where that lower triple has that stop in front, and the legs are RF600/900."


Bob!

[The Buddha]

Oh yea ... everything I said was wrong, always was, always will be ... does that really flatter your ego, can you sleep better now.

I know more about that front end than you do and like I said, overselling, why dont you say it will make you longer, thicker and harder too ... that is all that you seem to have missed out. That is a significant GSTwinner complaint, I myself am suffering bad.

Kat 1100 lower triple and RF900 legs ... I guess slap a RF caliper set .. .wonder what RF triples look like, may be a suitable and easier swap over.
BTW RF was pretty high end, you cannot call it a fat Kat, sorry buddy ... its the bike that wasn't cos suzuki didn't develop it.

Cool.
Buddha.

[The Buddha]

OK before I start getting bugged about RF900 forks.
They should drop in and have the steering stops in the right location, they also have the same bearings as a GS, so stem machining is all that be needed.
However they have the katana 750 style upper triple ... so guage fitment is not going to work like stock (or like a kat 600).
So there ... 43mm larger rotors, etc etc etc ... whatever ... neck and thread the stem or spacer it and it should go on there.

225 - no connection to the seller ... I can machine the stem, however I have never done it before nor have I actually even seen it before in close detail.

Need rotors and caliper for sure and may be wheel and fender.
Steering Lock - no clue
Guages - No clue, but prolly not.

Cool.
Buddha.

[psyber_0ptix]

buddha, what about  bandit forks  :p

[The Buddha]

Never done em. I really only have machined and fitted Katana 600 ones.
In any case - Last resort is making a new stem for anything and as long as its got 30 mm lower bearings (most of the suzuki's do all the way to 2009) it should fit. However guages, ignition lock, steering stops etc etc etc ... you're very much gambling.
So put up a pic or 3 ... I could tell you what to do.
Cool.
Buddha.

Look at the portion where the fork leg passes through the triple.

I circled it in red on your example picture from eBay.

It's flush or close to it.



Now lets look at mine.  (original picture from this thread)


(picture of GSXR lower triple from BikeBandit(dot)com)


What you failed to notice is that the triple is raised up in this area on mine.

And although they look similar, there are several other differences as well.

But i don't need to point them out to you, because "You know more about this front end than i do."

Isn't that what you said?


Strike Two!!!

Show me the adjuster for compression on the fork?

Go ahead, I'll wait...

What?

You can't?

IT'S NOT f%$king THERE?!!

WHAT THE f%$k?!!






Oh Wait!

I THINK I FOUND IT!

What's this?

Oh, its my original picture from this thread.

That's where the compression adjuster for the fork is hiding.

On my GSXR forks!

But i don't really need to point that out to you do i?

Because, "You know more about this front end than i do."


STRIKE THREE!!!!!

Sit back, relax, and drink the Kool-Aid my friend!

Hey tard, no one is asking you about this in my GSXR FE for sale thread!

And honestly?

Why anyone would waste there money buying anything from you is beyond me.

Your work is half ass.

I guess they just like the taste of the Kool-aid too.

buddha, what about  bandit forks  :p

Thanks...  

[werase643]

big shot didn't try to push the item until he started getting bashed by josh and Budduh

it's a F/E
it's for sale
it is better than a kat 600 F/E
it is not a RF900 F/E.... I know... I have one of them also
it is posted with all info that appears to be correct from description and pics
it was not posted as a direct swap for a gs.....
it is easy to modify to fit, but many are too lazy to do the work and want it their way

it is not a GhettoFABBed  powdercoated  whatever

BIG SHOT   post it over on WERA BBS
it is a great F/E swap for many small bore bikes

it is not worth the fight dealing with A$$CLOWNS

this post need to go to the TF..... it is that bad

WELCOME TO GS TWIN.......FUC* YOU ...... the borg(collective twinners) is/are better than you......ya'll come back for more love and sunshine


and we wonder why people leave???

[joshr08]

why am i getting pulled back in on this if you notice a$$clown i havent posted in this thread since the first page so $crew yourself i sent big shot a pm  so lets not pull people back in when they have been out for 3 pages of posts.

[Big Shot]

Spacer on steering stem.  Not sure if it was made for this purpose or a piece taken from somewhere else.  The reason i say this is because it looks pretty refined for a backyard enthusiast.  I'll get a better shot of it off the bike when i get a chance.

[Big Shot]

Space between parts at steering lock.

[average]

Cant tell but are the bars touching the tank in that pic?

[Big Shot]

Where the lower triple meets the frame at full steering lock and the original steering stop removed from the lower triple.

[Big Shot]

Cant tell but are the bars touching the tank in that pic?

Nope.  My hand can be on the throttle and move it through it's rotation without any interference from the tank with the bars at full lock in this picture.  It's tight, but comfortable.  And wouldn't smash the hands if accidentally swung into this postilion.  If the bars needed to be swept back more, new steering stops would need to be made to prevent the bars from turning so far.  No big deal.  And i plan to do it.  If no one buys this from me first.

The lower triple is aluminum.  Buddha has said that it will not weld easily.  I guess we'll find out 


Bob!

P.S.  Poor Average, i guess his momma never called him Special!
