berty Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 Hi all . Have decided its time to beef up the front end on my 7/11 et . If possible I want to try and keep from massive changes . ATM I have all original 750 et front end inc forks , clocks , lights , wheel , disc . I know the easy way would be simply putting on 1100 et forks , 2 or 3mm difference I think on the thickness of each fork . ( will this make much difference ?? )Am running on the rear a 1100 et arm , bandit 12 wheel with 170 , 530 chain with offset front sprocket . 1170 wiseco with rs 36 Miks and 4-1 v+h . So other than the rear wheel - there has not been many visual changes . Any thoughts from those in the know please ?? Cheers Quote
lawrence Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 can you please tell me what had to be change to run bandit back wheel,and were you got offset sprocket,have you photos of you doing it Quote
vizman Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 (edited) debbens do the offset front sprockets. http://www.debben.co.uk/offsetsprockets.html Edited November 9, 2015 by vizman Quote
berty Posted November 9, 2015 Author Posted November 9, 2015 Standard ali 1100et arm , 530 chain , 3/8th offset sprocket from Debben , b6 calliper hung down , et rear sprocket carrier ( fits into b12 wheel and keeps chain inline ) , you will need to cut a v small amount off the inside of your sprocket cover . A 180 tyre will fit but you will then have about 3mm clearance - chain to tyre . Not enough in my books . U can drop chain size further, cut and shut frame and loose strength on smaller chain etch etc etc . But for me a 170 works fine . Pm me if you get stuck . Meanwhile back to the front end and my forks pls ???? 2 Quote
vizman Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 are you running a standard et front wheel with a bandit 12 rear at present? Quote
vizman Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 I'd go with a complete b6/b12/early slingshot front end. little hassle to fit. Quote
berty Posted November 9, 2015 Author Posted November 9, 2015 Rear shocks are 40 mm longer . Which compensates well for front being still on a 19 inch . Corners lovely ATM . Could drop the lot - but I am 6ft7 and don't want my knees on my ears . So ideally want to retain heights as they are now . Quote
