clivegto Posted September 30 Author Posted September 30 Fitted 520 16/43 sprockets and chain, 1.8mm chain to frame clearance and also 1.8mm chain to tyre clearance so it's all fairly tight but there is clearance 4 Quote
clivegto Posted September 30 Author Posted September 30 What I have discovered is that the early R1 back sprocket will also fit the later gsxr1000 wheels as well. 3 Quote

clivegto Posted October 16 Author Posted October 16 (edited) Started to make a spotlight bracket I was going to copy the Spondon one I have acquired from another site member but I also want to mount a oilcooler upfront too. Got the top part hacked out this evening. Edited October 16 by clivegto 2 Quote
clivegto Posted October 17 Author Posted October 17 I purchased a secondhand Mocal 16 row oil cooler with m22 female fittings for 50 English beer tokens. Bit more whittling at the 5mm ally plate and it's starting to look like a cooler bracket 4 Quote
bunk Posted October 17 Posted October 17 Does the police consider lightbars super illegal there? Quote

They used to light the road ahead on my rinky dinky 2 stroke way back in the 90's 1 Quote
clivegto Posted October 18 Author Posted October 18 Bit of 2x3 ally angle for the bottom cooler bracket. Still work in progress 2 Quote
clivegto Posted October 19 Author Posted October 19 Bottom faring mount has been cut of at some point which will need repairing when I strip the frame. Bit more done on the cooler/light bracket this afternoon. 7 Quote
clivegto Posted October 20 Author Posted October 20 I have a nice little Acwell speedometer/rev counter with idiot lights that was on a fighterd B12 I bought a couple of years ago which I think will look great on this. New top yoke that used to be a bottom yoke has a couple of m6 mounting points on the front. Fashioned a bit of aluminum angle into a bracket to hold the speedo. I have made 2 more mounting points either side of the speedo if I want to mount other things like a FPR gauge and AFR gauge or even a completely different setup. 8 Quote
clivegto Posted October 22 Author Posted October 22 Going to use the ISR master cylinders I fitted with titanium bolts on this. Love the look of these . 3 Quote

Performance wise they're great and I love the over engineered vibe of them. Only down side with mine are they have worn a bit after a summer of fairly heavy use. I'm going to use some very thin shim washers to remove excessive play. Greg's have no play in them whatsoever and he does use them so I'm not sure why mine have become a little wobbly Quote

Wee Man Posted October 23 Posted October 23 The ISR's look a bit bonkers, that's why I like them. They work well, feel decent. I've never owned Brembo, so can't compare. Quote
bunk Posted October 23 Posted October 23 My ocd LOVES those isr's, perfect mirror image going on. Quote
Rncv Posted October 23 Posted October 23 Interesting, always keen to find out what others are like. I'd like to know if AP racing ones are decent too (the price deffo is!) Still trying to find a brake setup that will lift the rear wheel. Currently have brembo rcs master with p4 brembo callipers, although they are good the rear still won't lift Quote

I'm talking in terms of having more braking power than I have means of stopping it happening - if that makes sense? No doubt if I intentionally wanted to lift the rear it would go. Quote

I used to lift the back end regular with my old standard B12 when I was younger. @Rncvthe brembo master cylinders on the Harris Turbo Magnum combined with the R1 calipers are excellent Quote
