Just a sidenote, you can't hang out with us at the pits if you ride a modern 600cc

Dragbike Team D-Cut is too well known for riding old sh1t, so even our "friends" have to keep up the image

Well I won't tell anyone if you don't.

I stopped talking to people years ago

I ordered steering head bearings yesterday, expect a roller in two weeks.
Pics coming if things go as planned.

Forks fitted. Swingarm next.

Sam.

Yeah and it fits surprisingly well

Sam Green Racing · « **Reply #33 on:** December 14, 2011, 08:12:51 AM »

What colour will you be painting it, Kwack green perhaps?

Sam.

There's nothing like a good slider clutch for short wheelbases and good traction.

I'd prefer painting it Kwack green with blue and white stripes but I'm not sure if Jere agrees.

I was thinking something like Wayne Raineys GPz superbike was.

Juha,
Take a look here for the GSXR parts your mate needs.

Let me know if this is what he's looking for and if i can help in some way.

Fitting the GSX-R 750W swingarm was easier than I expected, thanks to two factories either working together or copying each other

Sam Green Racing · « **Reply #41 on:** January 25, 2012, 05:37:40 AM »

NO PICTURES...means it's not been fitted.

Sam.

Leino · « **Reply #42 on:** January 25, 2012, 11:55:42 AM »

Now I have proof

I measured the wheelbase today, 1500mm as it is now, a bit less when lowered for drag racing, 1500mm is the limit in Streetbike-class

Leino · « **Reply #43 on:** January 26, 2012, 10:14:28 AM »

I thought I could use the stock Kawasaki suspension hardware but no.
Luckily I have some GSX-R parts laying around and the puzzle called "J's Garage-Kawasaki" goes on after some machining and a few beers

dragracer · « **Reply #44 on:** January 26, 2012, 06:17:28 PM »

Good work there Juha. Wow, they limit your wheelbase in street ET ?? Should make for some interesting passing on a short wheel base bike with lots of power.

Retro Rocket · « **Reply #45 on:** January 26, 2012, 06:51:36 PM »

What are the wheels and sizes Juha.?

Yeah, 1500mm is the maximum wheelbase unless bike is longer as stock.
My Suzuki for example is limited to 1510mm, that and 1327cc engine makes riding the contraption interesting, you are right about that Frank

VFR 800 3½" x 17" and ex-Mike Rieck CBR 900 rim, 5½" x 17".He used it as a doorstop or something

They are going on hold for the first season though, need custom made oversize brake discs etc. to complete the build up to the standard I have decided it to be, so when Sam races the bike it's gonna have stock ZX-9R front rim and GSX-R 750W rear rim.
Sizes are as above though.

Juha

Thankyou....

My brother stopped by yesterday and he was very happy with the rebuild so far.
Well, he better be as he ain't paying me and worst of all didn't even bring any beer... no fuel for the builder and that's extremely impolite
