Nick_C_Hotrods Posted January 16, 2023 Author Posted January 16, 2023 Tonight I found that Kawasaki ZX9R C model ( right way up forks model) has Nissin front 4-pots same as GSXR, so removed these from the ZX front end and bolted them to my GSXR K front end. Quote

Nick_C_Hotrods Posted January 18, 2023 Author Posted January 18, 2023 Wanted to use the silver slotted alloy set but nowhere near, fount the black mounts fitted the ET frame mount holes and if I fit the brown / black anodised sets to these at an angle all geed. Found a Busa master cylinder and Bandit RH peg and lever so sorted (think the heel plates are Busa) Heinz 57 Need a Bandit LH as I only had one Brown lever Quote
Nick_C_Hotrods Posted January 18, 2023 Author Posted January 18, 2023 (edited) Tried to fix the ZX9 C bottom yoke as option 2 front end, its had the stem removed and I cut the stem off a Z400 yoke. Z400 rear sprocket thing fits in the stem and the yoke, need to conform the length and weld it - unless someone could make me an adapter please = not exactly the correct size currently. its a bodge you can see the bush is slightly bigger than the bearing face (which it needs to be, but its not an interpherance fit or long enough really (not as deep as the yoke - was considering pinning it (under the bearing) - or weld a large washer underneath too Once clamped up it aint going anywhere!

Nick_C_Hotrods Posted January 18, 2023 Author Posted January 18, 2023 Iv had all this crap laying around for years (got the frame in 2012 !), it seems to be building itself! Quote
Nick_C_Hotrods Posted January 18, 2023 Author Posted January 18, 2023 found this, pity i dont have the other side ! Quote
Nick_C_Hotrods Posted January 28, 2023 Author Posted January 28, 2023 So today I pushed it out for the first time. Exhaust was a biatch to get on, much levering and jacking the motor up, its now on after cutting the front cross brace off ( I belive you have to do this with Air cooled conversions.) Will probably weld it back in elsewhere. I can now tackle making the engine mounts. 1 Quote
