Re: Suzuki GR650- Viva la Tarozzi!
Thanks Swag! Still haven't had the chance to fit the mounts; hopefully next week. And thanks hish0ka! I know what you mean. I scoured the web before I started and as you said, there was very little info to stea........i mean "borrow".
Now some slightly bad news; I believe I have a slow leak in my back inner tube. So I NEED to get that taken care of before Barbers. Not a big deal, but certainly annoying.

Thanks Kokovmax!
It was fairly easy to swap over to a dual disc setup. The front hub is already drilled and tapped to take the rotor on the right side, so all you need is the forks to hold the calipers. I "think" mine are from a GS650, but I got them on ebay so I'm not 100% sure about that. I did have to find/make the spacers to get everything to fit properly though.

Re: Suzuki GR650- Viva la Tarozzi!
Not a problem at all! Any questions that YOU ask and I answer them here, will be here later for future reference.
Right now I am using the stock GR650 brake hub, but the spokes and wheel are from a GT750. The GT models use the same diameter brake hub but have a 2.15*18" wheel - makes it a very easy swap. I did try to use a mag wheel from a GS450, but the hub was too narrow.

Re: Suzuki GR650- change is in the air.......
So now that riding season is officially over (at least since I yanked the carbs off anyway), it's time to get back to work. First order of business: new color for the wheel:
Unfortunately, I need to order nipples for the front wheel. Once I get a tyre mounted on the rear, the front wheel will be coming off and getting stripped down. That's all for now......

Re: Suzuki GR650- change is in the air.......
Habit I suppose- I'm putting the original Avon tyre back on and that's how they spell it. The other GR is getting a Kenda tire put on........
I'm trying to keep the plans light on this one - I'm working on a golf cart for my Dad, a Trail 90 for a co-worker, along with other projects in the garage/house. I do want to work on thinning out the seat and repaint the tank as well. If finances and time allows, I plan on getting a full fairing as well.
