timmysf said:Its a front end from a Suzuki GSXR 600/750. You can use a range of years, but this particular one is 2006, I believe. You can use forks from the K5 or K6. There were different fork color options .. so pick what will match your bike best.
ricracer16 said:And those forks dropped right in and no modding or machining to fit in frame? What about the steering stops any issues there?
MJPriceisright said:hey did they fab up these caliper spacers i have pointed out? do you have contact info if they did? i need to have some of these made as well for my setup. thanks!
Question: Why is everyone using 'busa rotors for this swap? Why not just get 310mm rotors from 600/750? I'm wondering because I'm at this point in my swap and gotta get rotors.timmysf said:with the correct bearings and the spacer (see the post i made on specifics earlier in this thread), you wont need to do any mods to the the fork from the GSXR.
while you technically dont need to modify the frame either to fit the forks.. the fork tubes will hit the gas tank if no steering stops are in place, so that'll be a necessary step.
cheers

I just picked up an '08 gsxr 600 front end (forks, triples, brakes, lines, handlebars and levers) and have a 72 cb350. Im just wondering if you could tell me how much that front rim cost to get made up, and any other tips/tricks with the install or things you would do differently.
Im also hoping to eventually get discs for the rear so if you figure that out, keep me posted!
thanks!
timmysf said:* before i got into all this.. my machinist suggested buying a one of those "blank" dirt bike hubs from Excel or another manufacturer - and create the correct adapters for GSXR rotors. the blank hubs were between $300-$350. i decided to go with the narrow glide since i got it for $30.. but now that im looking at the final costs of the spacers, the custom wheel, etc etc. the blank hub route would have probably been slightly cheaper and resulted in a lighter front wheel...
T4R said:great info! this is probably the route i will go unless i figure out a good way of putting discs on the back first with a modern (gsxr) rim to match the front.
thanks for the response! cant wait to see how your bike turns out!
timmysf said:One of the major problems I went around and around in circles on was trying to figure out how to get the headlight switch wired up. I was looking at the CB350 wiring schematic, then looking at the CBR1000RR schematic and trying to figure out where the HELL the low beam light was wired up. There's NO switch for the low beams... the modern bikes today have the light come on automatically when you turn on the ignition. So the low beam is just wired directly to the hot circuit. The switch on the left control just toggles power through the high-beam relay. Ohhhhhhh duh.
