The rod was a bit to long, so 34mm hat to come off

A 15,3mm rod was put into the hole as a guide for welding alligment

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

Why be like all the rest :dunno_white:
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! :thumb:
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?
wow, thank God you got rid of that pink color. it was harsh. that headlight is pretty cool - where'd you get it?
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.
Buddha.
Headlight is rough , the rest is nice as :thumb:
How'd that GSXR shock fit back there? Did you have to mod it to fit and if so, what did you do?
Nice work, but sorry Pal, that colour...it reminds me of my Grandads Hearing-aid.
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!
yeah the headlight/fairing needs adjustment. I think is was smoother when it was mounted closer to the bike
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?
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 :icon_confused:
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 :D
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 :dunno_white:
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.
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.
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..
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:)
servus,
really good work with the frontend. :cheers:
but the rearshock is too long for the gs.

as far as i can see, it should only be 2cm longer than the gs unit?
great job.
bike looks great :thumb:
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.
Let me rephrase that ... I am not a welder, I cant just look and see that it is this or that.
You have a rod welded in it at the point you cut it - the part that will be stronger, the parts just abobe and below the weld - the ones that got red hot, will be the weakest and it will be weaker than original.
Of course if the rod is like a bolt and you ahve it bolted under the lower triple then it will be stronger, the stem cannot tear wihtout breaking the rod. Harley's are built this was, they have stems that have a bolt at the bottom instead of being welded in like the kat ones, and those buggers are strong, cos the stems are solid. I am copying that in my raked set of triples for the savage.
Cool.
Buddha.
you are of course right, it will be weaker over and under the weld, but only in the same degree as original strength, and it wont break all that easy anyway ;)
and the rod inside the stem, is also welded in the top and bottom, to insure that any twist or bends is applied evenly trough the stem, and thereby taking the stress away from the weld.
I had some help finding out how to do it by a custom Harley shop, he also told the thing with the rod inside the stem, it's also used on Yamaha Dragstar and the 1400cc Intruder, so it should be safe( I hope)..
but if you dont know how to weld, or know anyone who does, then the best way is to have it pressed, but i dont do anything the easy way :D
If that rear shock resevior was hitting either the air box or a lunch box, you might be able to try some K&N pods, then the resevior might just stick right between the two. I'm not sure how big of a gap there is between them.
With the lunchbox if I remember right you should have about 4-5 inches of clearance between the battery tray. Can anyone with a lunchbox confirm this? :icon_confused:
their is room between the lunchbox and battery tray, alot more than with the stock airbox. I will measure when i go out on lunch today i will open my seat and take a measurement.

I don't know that this fits into the rest of the conversation. I think I meant to post this in that thread about the 06-07 R6 shock. Sorry if that confused anyone.
Their is about 5 inches between where the battery box is and where the lunchbox air filter is.
