Thanks:)


8000 dkr is not bad, it depends on whats wrong with it, and the condition. If its ok, all the parts are there? I think it will bee hard to find it as cheap in Norway. Maybe for less in USA, but add the freight and taxes it will be more expensive than the one you found.. But it depends on the condition..

Decided on the headlamp:)

Made new headlamp ears, with original f1 ears and some cheap universal ones:)











And yes I will clean up the headlamp:)

alt.. take some rs tubes..and put them over fork legs..vith some rubber rings as spacers..and veld these ears on and polish
its vill lokks as it sits right on..and there vill not be anything to skrev on,,just klean tubes..(.rustfri rør,,på dansk)
but maybe it vill make prob handle bar grips
there is alså the 400 four vay..hvere mountings are op and dovn on trippel mounts..
but its looks great that you are making

That would look a lot cleaner:) I might just steal that idea:) For now I am more free to move it up or down. Till I decide exactly where i want it. But thank you for the tip:)

This thread really inspires me to build a café racer of a part's bike I have  Great bike! Did the front rotor fit on the wheel without any modifications?

-Stian

[lordmember1969]

Hi Stian:) Thanks
Had to make a spacer to make the rotor fit the wheel. Used alloy and a lathe:) Ca 9mm thick.. Can take some close up pictures so you get an idea?

Anyone found a god bicycle speedo? Want one with big numbers that are easy to read to go into the headlamp:)
Thanks:)

[kajtek]

So not found any god yet, huh?

[kajtek]

no afraid not... im leaning towards the simplest acewell digi system or the koso db01-r. from what i understand a lot of the bicycle backlights only come on if you press a button, and the ones with backlights tend to be more expensive, so might aswell get a bike one.

Anybody tried to fit gsxr 750 85 mod. rear swingarm to the 750?

[lordmember1969]

Cut and ready to weld

[uthinkimodd]

Great looking build. With what you've done so far the swing arm shouldn't be that dificult. are you going to use a single shock or dual shocks? other than mounting it is all about spacing.

The plan is to go with dual shocks, and incorporate the oil thank inside the swingarm. Have now cut it down to 1" over the original size. Have to cut out and move the "brace" at the back a little, to clear the wheel.. Then build a reservoir there:)
