got a call today to say the rear footrest mount modifications were complete, so off I trots to Malton to collect the frame. The rear footrest and silencer mount have been removed, saving at least 10kgs of weight, and the front footrest mount triangulated so............
much neater - much lighter.
Back home in the garage, I fitted the front and rear ends then test-fitted a spare motor to see if all the newly attached engine mounts lined up................
they did - perfectly Just the upper rear mounts to make now I can get the exact measurements for them.
Left-side footrest mount.........
sits just right and well away from the rear shock line - result
and the exhaust ports.............
clear of the frame tubes - just as Suzuki designed them to be.
