Really cool build! Following along for sure. I have a 900F that I plan on giving a similar treatment, although on a bit more of a budget so will be using CBR wheels instead of spoked ones and a 919 RWU fork. Nice to see the Delkevic exhaust on an F build, I've been eyeing that same one and it looks good! I like the way you're going with the rear!
Ground clearance seems like it could be a problem? Have you done the rake/trail calculations? From what I understand one drawback of the GSXR front end is the small offset in those triples that could lead to really low trail numbers. I'm no suspension expert, but that's what I've been able to gather. You might be able to kill two birds with one stone and get custom triples from Cognito that are raised/winged (to gain some ground clearance) and with something like a 45mm offset?
Btw, what is the total length of those forks?
Good luck with the build!
The forks are about 720mm long with 17" rim as opposed to the original 780mm with a 19" rim that was on it.
I'm not too sure of how the numbers work out, we fabricated a new triple stem and pressed it into the original GSXR triple, cognito moto also offer a replacement triple stem also but it was a lot cheaper to turn it up on the lathe ourselves.
I'll have to see what she rides like definitely need a steering dampener after talking to a mate from MCR who came off his cb750 from tank slapping, although his was a monster bored out and Dyno tuned.
If worse comes to worse Dad just got a mill
Which I reckon he is dying to use, will definitely be fabricating the rear set brackets with that.
Managed to snap up a few more goodies on line
So now Frankenhonda II will have some lungs
Today I've been trying to mould the seat pan up ready to
Those are some trick beasts.
I think once I put the fibreglass on the tail section and get that sorted I will make up a seat pan also. I was unable to put the resin and glass on because I had nothing to use as a release agent...poorly prepared.
There's some kick ass small batteries but I'm unsure which ones are best.
Just got some of these too
but I don't think they will arrive before I leave.
You'll have to show us some shots of your build
