    Great idea, Not sure how late a frame will fit into the regs, but the one that I've based my project around is later and with all the internal bracing. If you want a frame to untack what they put in and add to an early frame I will have one that can be sacrificial shortly.

    If it's a braced frame with the swing arm adjuster on the rhs, I have a brand new adjuster and lock nut that I can throw into the cause. 

    675 wheels are a very light option and I have a round spoke one that I can give away, has had all the factory marks ground off, but it's straight and ready for powder. Hub is a little wide on them and I'm not sure if they can be persuaded to give you a true chain run and still run a 180 rear. I'm running a different swing arm in mine, so cannot help with exact fitment issues. Get a triumph drive hub though, which are cheap and common to a lot of models and is worth experimenting if I can get this rim over to you. It has a new rear disc with it, the disc size changed when they went to the forged look spoke design.

    Talking of swing arms, good luck finding one. The top braced arm that you want is getting rare, but from memory an 1100 is a little longer and might be the way to go for stability on the Island. They seem to have produced a lot more 1100's the model run was much longer.

    PM me if I can help. (y)

     

    Cheers, I’ve got a round spoke 675 wheel now but I will need a spare for wets at some point! 
     

    was wondering if the 1100 swingarm was a touch longer. 
     

    675 wheel is an easy fit by the looks of it. It’s narrower and is 20mm axle so with a couple of spacers it can be central and with around 4mm machined off the sprocket Carrier You get the chain line. I think you can run a 520 sprocket off a 250 Kawasaki which has a 1mm offset too, more research to be done on that when I find an engine!

    We can all live in hopexD

    All the Irish road races are now cancelled with Armoy being the exception.

    Not sure if the powers that be would want to let a crowd of road racers (as talented as you all are) loose on the TT circuit without any road time all season. What do you think, or am I just talkin shit?

    Hope I'm wrong BTW.

    The ACU mountain licence requires 6 signatures, at least 3 from Jan 2020, so it would be possible but only if the ACU lift the restriction on short circuit events very soon. I doubt the ACU will waiver the licence requirement as thats part of the insurance policy. Im pretty sure i saw a Manx ruling had been put in place that will see all events postponed until october 2020, i very much doubt its going to run, hence spending my entry fees on GSXR bits :D

    Hello all. 

    After most of my research seems to come from this site anyway I thought I may as well join up! With most of my race season cancelled i thought I would build something ready for next season. whilst the ZXR750 is the more popular and competitive choice, i have always loved my old school suzukis and have a particular soft spot for the Yoshimura F1 bikes of the early nineties so im planning on building a bit of a replica with a view to race it at Olivers Mount and the Classic TT

    I have started with a 1992 W frame and have a swingarm + linkage on the way as well as a K5 rear shock. The plan is to put a K2 750 front end on so i have a bottom yoke on the way. My research leads me to believe that the k2 bottom taper bearing will fit straight in and that I should just need a 32906 top bearing. Can anyone confirm or advise? I have also opted to use a triumph 675 rear wheel so if anyone who has done the swap could point me in the right direction that would be super. 

    Pics on the way

    Cheers
