Quick Update of the project: fork has been fitted sucessfully!
Thanks to Rob from the forum who helped me a lot on the process.
Detailled information:
- conversion stem & bearing from Cognito (240$ with shipping & taxes to France)
- GSXR 600 K5 fork with stock caliper, upper & lower triple clamps & axle (630$)
- Comstar wheel from first generation
- new wheel bearing (40$)
- discs from a Susuki hayabusa, OD 300mm (100$)
- conversion flanges to adapt for disc pattern & position (80$)
- spacer for wheel bearing positionning (20$)
- adjustable fork stopper (retroengineered from pictures of Cognito Moto item) (10$)
=> total cost: 1120$ roughly
To be noted that the wheel bore has a lip, quite thick, reducing the diameter. It has to be grinded to fit the new axle & spacer.
So far, it hasn't been tested and one disc is offcentered of 1mm.... Seems I messed up with my measurement, but can be corrected with a 1mm thick washer under the disc.
Bike is looking good, definetely improving the overall stance and line of the bike! We will see later about the riding, now working on the wiring!
