Project 700ES ( Revisited )

With the brake stay issue resolved the 150 slid in with ease..

[jwhelan65]

Pay no mind to the temporary caliper bolt

[jwhelan65]

Should look killer and handle so much better..

Coming along very nicely.....

I love that sprocket and chain you got going.....

and that phat tyre,,,,,,that is looking great...

I would have loved to put that on my 750, well at least the sprocket and chain, mind you not in blue.....unfortunately I am cheap bugger.....LOL

Thanks man, all much needed upgrades for this thing

Notched a stock one to achieve the same with a stock caliper...

Nice job on that Dan.. I think I am actually going to cut and weld the bandit stay to keep the caliper parallel with the swingarm although its not really necessary just might look better.

I have full 1/4" of clearance from the B12 stay. With a 130 in the stock set up it was about 1/16", the 130 barely squeezed in. With this set up I am pretty certain you could run a 160 with no issues..

Yes I don't think you'll get more than a 150 in the way I've shown. I used some fairly thick plate as I wanted to make sure it didn't twist....

The other way is to cut the ends off & weld to a custom tube. Not sure about the 700 but the 750 stay was a bit shorter than the other GS's so there *might* be room to put an S bend in a stock stay.

Bandit stays are cheap and easy to find, actually the stock caliper works as well with this set up.

Here is the mod recipe


3.5" 1150 rear wheel
150/70/17 Dunlop GT501
98-02 Bandit brake stay
1150 rear caliper ( the stock caliper works also )

Plug and play, no cutting required, however you may want to shorten the stay for cosmetic purposes only

Wow, that looks really nice. I have the same model bike but mine is a long way from looking like that. how bad was it when you got it? Oh and where did you find the four to one header? I bought one from ebay but it is way too big to fit on any 700 i know of.
