Topic: GSXR Front end build questions.

[Hotwheelbill]

I am building a 1976 CB750 and using a 2004 GSXR 600 Front end. I am not doing a full strip down build, only 10k miles on motor. I have forks, triples, fender, wheel, full brakes with brake lines up to bars. But no master or clutch control. I do have throttle, but no switch housing. I am not using blinkers. I am not using kill switch on the bars. I am not using HiLo on bars, no wires to the bars.
So, what do I need for clutch, gas, and brake to keep it clean? Also, any headers that will NOT work with these forks? And last, headlight brackets that fit these forks? 
Thank you for your input.

The clip ons are standard 7/8" diameter, so just about any brand of cable operated clutch lever works. For the brake and throttle, same. You will benefit from shorter cables and brake lines though, and I'd suggest an electronic front brake switch in lieu of the stock pressure activated switch.

Nissin brake MC and remote reservoir are popular and affordable. Or step up to a Brembo, Arizona or ABM if you're feeling sporty. A 14/15mm MC is probably preferred for dual disc on a modern front end.

As for tire clearance against the exhaust, that depends greatly on your wheel size. The MotoGP Werks is very popular and well regarded as a quality Yoshi replica. Fork diameters are easily measures with calipers (41, 43mm?) and that's easy to find ears you like for a pretty standard 7" headlight bucket.

Thanks. Good info for my start. I can not seem to find a price for the exhaust. Difficult website.

If you don't need a "vintage" look for the front brake m/c use the stock gsxr unit (made by nissin)

You will also need a longer stem for the trees to work. For headlight ears you can make a set or spend an arm and leg for "street fighter" ones. I think the forks are 54mm.

And the correct offset on the triple clamps based on what size wheel he's using and where the rake ends up with the shorter forks,handling is often overlooked for the "look"....Anyone can stuff on a GSXR front end, few do it properly....

"14/15mm MC" is Bigger better? I found these....

That is true and it was the look that sent me this way. I will want the bike to ride and handle , but just getting it to running condition for now and using what I have as much as possible.
