Srad 750 fork measurement?
CockneyRick replied to CockneyRick's topic in Water Cooled, V-Twins, Singles and 2-strokes
Just needed to know std setup as for how much sticks above top yoke. Will prob drop em more than 5mm once all assembled, but needed a reference point -
Not so far!

Can someone do a quick measurement for me, from the underside of bottom frame rail to the ground when bike is stood up with nobody sat on it please!

simplest way to fit modern wheels on an EFE?

6/5? -
Previous owner swapped the sum & strainer. I changed sump cos it weren't original, but didn't notice that strainer had to be changed too! Got another original & now all's good

Can't help there as mine's assembled. I think i also machined down the rear brake carrier too! Just assemble it with whatever you have/buy, then make it fit. That's what i did on both mine. All trial & error -
Easy to replace & as above just pry one side up til loose enough to pull off. pegs are very fragile being years old though!

Already sorted ta.

simplest way to fit modern wheels on an EFE?
CockneyRick replied to boilerdude's topic in Air Cooled
My bad, it must be slingy, & Busa is in my GS! Anyway the reason i went that way is cos K series wheels are the same size but the hub itself is wider, so making sprocket/chain alignment too hard. Output shaft is fine as it's only spaced rather than paying for an offset sprocket. And carrier matches wheel, def not GS/GSX! GS1100 is K series front & Busa rear, EFE is Slingshot front & rear. Both running 520 chain & sprockets -

Stretch makes no difference, arm gap at back is still the same -

If you look closely I had to use 1/2 nuts on carrier, but tbh i'm sure it was all about spacers & lining it up. Chain run was ok too. Most mods were down to extended arm! -

Was a while back. but no mods to frame, may have put spacer on front sprocket, & rear spacers. Will trawl through my EFE build pics & it may remind me -

Got a 180 Busa wheel in mine! Just altered the spacers & all is good! Front end was a complete Slingshot swap. Arm is an extended & braced EFE, but still a std arm -
Could be old plug breaking down under pressure, & new one is dodgy. Swap with No4 cylinder to make sure before stripping carbs

Then again, discs will still be too close to forks, my bad! -
Srad Yoke Info? Update!
CockneyRick replied to CockneyRick's topic in Water Cooled, V-Twins, Singles and 2-strokes
So the diff is all about the yokes, everything else is the same? Just wondering then if i put say 25x52x12 or less in, then the spindle should work properly! -

Spindle fork hole is different though & won't fit the larger spindle of the SRAD! -
Srad Yoke Info? Update!
CockneyRick replied to CockneyRick's topic in Water Cooled, V-Twins, Singles and 2-strokes
Right, having researched, It seems that i can only use the SRAD750 yokes to match my forks/wheel. But i had a thought, what's the difference between the 750 & 600 wheel? I'd assume it's same wheel but bearings are different? Less thickness. Again assuming the spindle(s) are the same again? Might be a cheaper option just to change bearings (again) rather than pay silly money for a 750 yoke set!
