oil cool GSXR frontend ?? Are you talking about their anti-dive front end that they came out with? Nice set up!
Its an 86-88 frontend from a GSXR1100. Yes, it does have the anti dive adjusters on it as well. Decided not to block them off. We initially tried using the Katana 600 frontend but the Busa wheels wouldn't fit in between the fork spacing with the rotors on the wheels. I didn't think it was wise or legal to go without front brakes
. We then checked the width of the GSXR frontend and it was perfect for the Busa wheels. We now have to make a hanger for the front brake caliper. We determined that we have to use the Busa caliper as well due to clearance issues with the wheel and rotor. Spacers were machined to allow use of the GSXR axle in the Busa wheel bearings. The same was done for the back. Since the Busa uses an electronic speedometer, the wheel didn't have provisions for a mechanical speedometer. I did some Net research and found a company in California that sells electronic speedometers. It uses a magnetic pickup to send a pulse signal to the computeized speedometer unit. A magnet is attached to the wheel or rotor and a fixed pickup is then attached to the fork. The unit is digital and has a tach, signal indicators, high and low beam light, clock, hour meter and some other features. Its cool setup and cost less than $135 to my door.
We pressed the Honda stem out of the triple and had it pressed into the GSXR triple tree. A bit of material was machined off for it to fit the GSXR tree. Although it has a good press fit, we will pin it with a set screw for safe measure. The top plate had to be bored a bit for the Honda stem. We used the Honda stem so there wouldn't be any issues with bearings or fitment in the neck.
We are using the stock Honda round headlight to retain the old school look. The signal stalk will be shortened a little and small signals attached in place of the lolipop Honda signal.
The project is on hold for a little while for my buddy to recover from some minor surgery. As work moves forward, i will add more pictures.
Feel free to ask any questions or offer any advice you can give us on making this project a success.
