Just a question..... Why not take advantage of the dual front brake?

Why be like all the rest

Perhaps in time i'm gonna put on another disc, put for now, it's all looks, and i'm sure that it will brake just fine with just the one, it's 4 bigger pistons now, and only 2 smaller original, so stopping power is increased some.

That is great!

I was searching for a way to fit the GS wheel with a GSXR fork, to cut the cost down to something I could handle.
What did you do?
What about the brake, did you use an adapter plate, any shims or something?

tripleb · July 07, 2009, 06:39:52 AM

wow, thank God you got rid of that pink color. it was harsh. that headlight is pretty cool - where'd you get it?

The Buddha · July 07, 2009, 06:44:33 AM

A welded stem is not actually that safe. However it is steel, and it could be welded up and work fine I guess.
Why didn't you just shorten it form the top.
Or press out the bottom and shorten it on the bottom.
Cool.

Headlight is rough , the rest is nice as

O.C.D. · July 07, 2009, 09:58:57 AM

How'd that GSXR shock fit back there? Did you have to mod it to fit and if so, what did you do?

sledge · July 07, 2009, 12:09:42 PM

Nice work, but sorry Pal, that colour...it reminds me of my Grandads Hearing-aid.

JB848 · July 07, 2009, 01:28:06 PM

Personally I like the beige color it is unique even for a hearing aid. As for the head light it needs a little adjustment to fit the flow of everything else but over all I know that was a lot of work so good job!

shiznizbiz · July 07, 2009, 04:07:55 PM

yeah the headlight/fairing needs adjustment. I think is was smoother when it was mounted closer to the bike

psyber_0ptix · July 07, 2009, 07:20:03 PM

interesting....

more pics of the rear shock. i have one just like it but a 04 or so. was wondering if the resevoir would interfere with the battery tray at all or the lunchbox.

close ups on the clevis?

bettebror · July 08, 2009, 12:37:27 AM

Thanks for the nice words

1: the front wheel is the standard GS, with bearings to fit the 20mm front axle, the spacers are made from stainless steel, and took alot of messuring to cut right

2: the front brake have 4,3mm spacers made of plain steel, with longer bolts.
3: the headlight needs adjustment yes, and are top priority(almost)
4: hearing aid??? well, at long as it its different from the rest, then i'm happy

5: the rear shock is on my to do list, and will be follow'd up in near future, as for fitment, the reservoir WILL interfere with the air filter, but a K&N lunchbox filter should sort that problem, but there should't be any other problems that i know of.. i couldt be wrong though

6: the stem should be stronger now, there is a rod inside it, and when you weld, there area around it becomes stronger, its not the first time i done it, and other "experts" here in Denmark(where i live), have given me the thumbs up for it, the reason i diden't press the stem down, is that the bearing wouldent have enough to grip on to on the stem.

psyber_0ptix · July 08, 2009, 05:53:08 AM

there might be interference on the lower link and the clevis since it's short, you may have to grind the lower link to allow for full range of motion or it might bind and block the suspension from fully extending.

bettebror · July 08, 2009, 11:29:03 AM

hmm, perhaps you are right, i try to look in to it later, but i really dont think that it's a big problem at this moment..

bettebror · July 09, 2009, 10:39:33 PM

BUMP!!
Now the rearwheel is on, and almost ready to ride, just missing a brakeline at the front and a brake reservoir, put that is coming today:)

Jim Knopf · July 10, 2009, 03:03:24 AM

really good work with the frontend.

as far as i can see, it should only be 2cm longer than the gs unit?

kml.krk · July 10, 2009, 06:54:56 AM

great job.
bike looks great

The Buddha · July 10, 2009, 08:55:38 AM

Yea you have a rod inside the stem, and its all welded up, it should be stronger.
You dont have to press the stem in either really. Its is one option, and you can press it just enough and it will have enough to seat the bearing and still be short enough - I have done Kat stems that way.
But you can turn the bearing seating area, then cut threads in the top to take up the extra length. but I know only in regards to a katana stem, yours may have a different charactrestick all together.
Cool.
Buddha.
