Tews- have you solved the spacer riddle for your calipers mounted on the hayabusa rotors? I still havent gotten around to having them made. If you haven't would you be willing to have mine made along with yours. I would pay you for them as well as shipping if youre up for it. I dont know any shops thats would be willing to make me 5mm think spacers.

Just chimming in for a sec.
I used this style fishing led weights to balance wheels before. Work great, just pull the rubber from the center. And will crimp down on the spokes just fine.

Tews/Jojo - give me the dimensions of the spacer you need. I'll get it made up and send them over to you.

My buddy is in the midst of making some scampers for me for axles and calipers on a different bike and can easily turn out a few cylinders without a bother. They'll be turned from aluminum as a point of info. You can PM me the details of what you need.

Thanks! ill get those sizes for you later tonight when i head to the shop

Sorry for not responding earlier Jojo.. I have been busy as it's wrestling season here for my boys. Pretty much nothing has been done. I somehow forgot to mail off the manifolds with the rest of my parts to Mrieck. Sent those out and now waiting to see what he recommends....

Calj I have the spacers made already. I do need them machined inside a but to fit properly. If you can't get them for Jojo I can try to hook him up..

Let me know Jojo.

hey Tews, what are those pics of? Hows it coming along. Looking good.

Tews19 · « **Reply #282 on:** December 22, 2013, 03:41:58 PM »

10mm spacers for the caliper's. Need them when using the Hayabusa rotors to clear the spokes.

Aahh. Ok, Makes since. Looks like we all are knocking on this GSXR front end door.

Tews/JP - the dimensions I received indicated a spacing of 5MM, yet Tews you're using 10MM. Which is correct?

Mine only require 5mm since I'm using a different font end. They clear the spokes but are needed to center the pads on the rotor

Well no progress and there won't be due to a tragedy in the family. This won't fall the waste side but figured I would post as there will not be any updates for a while.

Hope you all have a safe and Happy New Year.

Thanks to everyone. It means a lot that this community has reached out.

My wife and I were expecting our 5th child. On Monday she had an ultrasound to determine the sex and to see how the baby was doing. Ended up not being good news and she was admitted into the hospital for more test. Wednesday we lost the baby but my wife is staying strong. Not sure if it is right to post on here what happened but thought everyone wishing us the best it would be appropriate to share.

As far as the build goes I will finish it but at the moment we have other things that need attending.

Once again thanks again to everyone for their support.

tweakin · « **Reply #296 on:** January 04, 2014, 03:46:56 PM »
