Congrats on the 'new' bike Kit.  Looks like a cool project in the making.   

Hey patrons of the South Side Dive Bar...  swing over and checkout my 'lowbrow' style interior in progress on my old beater:

I haven't really seen anyone do this before.   Just my own tip of the hat to the Kustom Kulture tradition and it makes driving around in a p.o.s more fun.   Leave comments.  I put a zombie head in there!  What other kewl images should I add?

[Spikeybike]

mmmmmmmm...tree nuts

[Industrial Cafe]

well! I've sold almost my whole front end. only 3 small pieces left.

I'm so close to doing a thread on swapping a gsxr1000 front end to a cb750 it's scary.

[Spikeybike]

if you still gotta 750 caliper , i'd take it off your hands

  Hi IC, i have the GSXR 1100  front end on mine and all i had done was the honda steering stem pressed into the Suzuki clamps and it all bolted straight up....The Honda stem was the same diameter as the Suzi one.

and  blather i shall, in great detail!!

I want others to have a step by step how to, in case they want to attempt it.
I'll even be bringing my camera to the machine shop when I go.

Have you measured the diameter of the suzi neck?, its a shame you had to destroy the Honda clamp to get it out...Are you only modding the front end or is this a new style build?

what do you mean by neck?

the suzuki pin is 30.5mm at the bottom and 29.8mm at the top.
practically the same as the honda one.  maybe a hundredth of a mm difference.

I don't know what you mean by new style build... I had to cut out the pin because it was welded in at the bottom.  then I'll press out the suzi pin and press in the honda one.

please clarify.

[Industrial Cafe]

i want to use the cb750 pin and bearings so I don't have to #$%* around with spacers and machined caps.

i think it would be called a 'king pin' by the old terms of automotive suspension.

[Retro Rocket]

Sorry dude, i meant are you changing the style of your bike or are you just changing the front end..?

Mick

[Industrial Cafe]

oh, no- just the front end.
I'm keeping my custom seat and dunstall tank, along with the stretched swingarm and cb900f shocks.

I think it'll really come out looking good and riding really well.  (i'll probably need a steering damper)

my original idea was to put dual discs on the front and be done with it, but then squirley did that 550 and I said "WOW I gotta do that"
I also want to go 18x3.5 in the back with a 140/70/18

it'll still be cafe style, but it'll stand out a little more.

[Industrial Cafe]

I still have some 76 forks, but I haven't done anything to them, they're ugly but they work perfect...
