Whoa! Holy cow. That's the world's shortest build thread.
A LOT of work put in the bike there! How do I know, because it looks a helluva lot like mine except it's DONE! Congrats to you.
You have mentioned 18" front xs400 wheel with the FZR front end. Ducati wave rotors? Dual front disc brakes.
I'm running into difficulty with the rotor offset on my conversion. The center boss on the xs400 wheel for the rotor isn't deep enough to fit a spacer and the ducati disc without the disc left floating only on the mounting bolts to get the needed offset. Your wheel is also drilled both sides which I don't think all the XS400's were.
My problem is I used a busa front end and the sizes of bearings for the new front axle were not as heavy duty. Had to have the center bore machined on the wheel and of course new axle spacers machined.
Adapted sportbike rear sets with rear master. Foot position is almost exactly where I put mine at except I used a XS750 frame and had to weld my own mounts.
Nice reverse cone exhaust. I haven't gotten to that yet. Do you have a pic of the headers?
I swear that looks like a zx-10r rear Nissin caliper. I used the same thing! [EDIT- looking at my caliper and yours closely, it's different. Definitely NOT stock, though is it?] Looks like a custom rear carrier on a smaller diameter wave rotor? I spent my son's future tuition money getting my carrier adapter machined. But I used a zx-10r rear disc which is a tiny bit smaller than yours making the carrier design just a bit more involved. I like yours better as it looks like it would have been much cheaper to machine and gets the job done. Made your own caliper stay as well I see.
Looks like you kept the stock rear axle, right? Did you sleeve the caliper bracket or use on off the earlier gen zx-10r?
Those look like genuine Ohlins rear shocks! Me, too! What model did you get? Spring rate? Length? I went with the Vmax one if I recall correctly. Your's of course is at a different angle.
That subframe mod looked odd at first, but altogether, looks perfect! and better than mine. Stock, even with a rear that is raised a little on the rear shocks, it has a sloped back look like a chopper. A new rear subframe flattens the line nicely without resorting to running the shaft drive at a weird and destructive angle.
I didn't mod the subframe but did do some extensive frame bracing.
What tires did you end up using on the 18" rims? I went with the conti attacks. Can't wait to try them out.
Any engine mods?
Nice to see someone else as crazy as myself modding their triple. Better to see yours done. I'm going on two years with mine. Awaiting engine reassembly. Then looking to make a sportbiketracktime trackday next year.
