This doesn't really live here guys, but here goes -
(Although it could provide inspiration i suppose)

Here's some CAD of swingarm setups
Stock wheel on K1/K2 swingarms - all OK
17" x 160 tyre on F1 swingarm - just (note that sprocket is out further by about 6mm on F1/F2 hubs
17" x 160 tyre on K1/K2 swingarm - no go (the tyre would foul the swingarm and also the sprocket / chain line fouls the tyre

I have a 17" x 180 on the CB13 and would like one on the CB750 but i think 160 is max (with F1 swingarm) without a lot of work (Looks like 150 would be max with a K1/K2 swingarm but i didn't draw that option)
With a swingarm swap 180 may be possible but the chain may foul the frame (not sure - didn't draw that one either)

I have a modified gsxr 1100 J swingarm....no problems with clearance.

Ok - now we're talkin'
The only problem then is sprocket alignment

Mick, can you give me some details of what's involved with fitting that swingarm. I want something simlar on my K2 but not sure what to look out for / which swingarm to get

Thanks
Brookesy

anybody recognize the tire brand on this bike?

PHANTOM SPORTSCOMP

Damn... I think that would be just a little too wide for my bike. I kind of like these Conni's, though:

Once a month there is a get together called Backfire here in Seattle. I took some pics Wednesday of some of the bikes I thought were worth remembering. Sorry if they are a little blurry, I took them with my iPhone.

When I right click and try to open in a new window (which usually works in cases like this) I'm taken to a Google Mail account login screen.

Also, reopening the post to "modify" reveals Google Mail addy also.

Sorry I tried to just share them from my email but I guess that doesn't work. I just modified the post and used my old stand by photobucket.
I hope that fixed it.

that red one back there is certainly worth remembering!!! where's the picture of it?

i've ridden one of those little CB1s... if you aren't aware, its an 89/90 cb400f... a nice little addition to the oversized crotch rocket lineup.
super smooth motor and revs out the wazoo!

oh, and becoming uber-rare... at least here in the states.

i like that this person took a modern mill and built this around it. also, the detail is visual candy. love to ride this one if given the chance!

MCRider · « **Reply #1545 on:** April 20, 2009, 11:35:30 am »

Heffay, I agree the CB-1 was a sweet bike. Under-rated and over-priced is what did it in.

But what we are looking at in the picture is a 650HawkGT. Several subtleties give it away, but the biggie is the CB-1 carried its disc rotor on the right side, the Hawk on the left.

The spokes of the CB-1 cast wheel were 3 single spokes, straight out fromhub to rim, the Hawk's are as you see there, 3 pairs in a swoosh pattern.

The Hawk was also underrated and overpriced. It has a very enthusiastic following, like our CBs.

I've got a lot of miles on my Hawk, 40K+ with some nice mods, so I'm a little prejudiced.

heffay · « **Reply #1548 on:** April 20, 2009, 11:44:22 am »

i've always wanted a HawkGT, as well... one of my MMI instructors had a hopped up 650 that he raced.
AND he was a large guy that did pretty well on it!
