Can't remember now but think it I took 5mm of the cush drive rubbers, machined both sides of the sprocket carrier and the wheel as well as the bearing spacer, turned thee back sprocket round and used a 525 chain. From memory I gained 8 to 10mm clearance with a 190 tyre. Pic with 1 standard cush rubber fitted for example. 1 Quote
clivegto Posted September 5, 2024 Posted September 5, 2024 New tyre fitted, gone for a 190/55 17 this time. Pic of cush rubbers fitted to wheel for @jonny1bump 2 Quote
jonny1bump Posted September 6, 2024 Posted September 6, 2024 Interesting to see alternative way doing things. Quote
clivegto Posted September 6, 2024 Posted September 6, 2024 (edited) Pie run to butcher up north west of me to scrub the new tyre in. 46psi seems a bit hard round our local roads. Reduced to 38 late in the afternoon (might try it slacker that that) which was loads better for my riding style. 55 tyre is smoother in quick corners but definitely more unstable at high speeds.

caferacerdan Posted September 8, 2024 Posted September 8, 2024 46? I don't think I've ever ran higher than 36 on my lot...but then again back tyre's don't last long for me for some reason...never been through a front tyre though Quote

The tire shop must looked at your bike and thought it was gold wing with 6 months of luggage and a rather large passenger and riding mega slow or something for that pressure. 3 Quote
Dezza Posted September 9, 2024 Posted September 9, 2024 Sounds like the tyre fitter may have forgot to reduce the pressure after seating the tyre post-fitting. Quote
DAZ Posted September 9, 2024 Posted September 9, 2024 What tyres did you use before ? I had Dunlops on a speed triple and thought they had quite a firm carcass compared with the metzlers which felt plush on bumpy back roads .... Quote

Michelin road 5 before that Metzler Z8 and before those Pirelli Diablo supercorsas. The sports touring tyres last longer have good grip in the corners and better grip in the wet than the sports tyres. Although riding a turbo bike in the wet is a bit like riding on ice 3 Quote

clivegto Posted December 2, 2024 Posted December 2, 2024 (edited) 2 seasons riding the Harris and taking it to a few shows with the Oldsckoolsuzuki Crew now so thought it was time for a few little winter upgrades. First on the list was the wheels which are a standard gsxr1000 bronze in satin from new witj a few scratches which had been bugging me. Took the wheels out last week popped the tyres n discs off then removed the cast lettering from the spokes. Dropped them of on Friday at RAW coatings near York who to my surprise rang me up today to say they were ready so of I went to pick them up. Am well chuffed with the finish and only 48 quids per wheel. Edited December 2, 2024 by clivegto 5 Quote

jonny1bump Posted December 2, 2024 Posted December 2, 2024 Getting the wheels super smooth is quite time consuming job. Quote
clivegto Posted December 3, 2024 Posted December 3, 2024 Second thing that had been bugging me was the anodising fading on the front brake reservoir and the clutch one too. I ordered a pair of AEM factory titanium integrated reservoirs to fit the Brembo RCS. Bit pricey but there lovely . I'v also ordered a pair of Metzler roadtec SE01's for the wheels as well. 4 Quote
