no class Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 What is your project ? Do you fancy spoked or mag wheels ? Quote Link to comment
micktodd Posted November 6, 2017 Author Share Posted November 6, 2017 ive got some gsx1100g to pick up think they will look good on this Quote Link to comment
boilerdude Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 so you got a shafty that was missing a front and you're putting slabby front on it? Quote Link to comment
canamant Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 The units on teh front of the forks aren't adjusters in the normal sense, they are solenoid operated compression damping units which operate on the brake light system. Blanking plates are available on the Bay of E. I don't know whether the plares have a small bypass channel in them or are just a blocking plate. On 750s, they are multiposition compression damping adjusters and from what I can see on mine, blanking them off would more or less cause the fork to hydraulic with only the blow off valve to relieve pressure.

gsx Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Bandit 6 wheel fits slabby forks but looks a bit lost , used Nissan 4 pots after reaming out the fork mounting holes a bit and using a washer under each bolt to space them over a bit . 6 bandit wheel did look shit though !

RF600 front goes strate into a b6 and uses the same discs, brakes, spacers etc but its a 3.5" rim so a 120 front tyre instead of a 110 Quote Link to comment
