        Thanks I love it ... and the 153bhp she kicks out at the tyre!

        The Fork tube clamps were from originally MPS but I made the head light bracket out of Ali plate.

        hope this helps pal,

            I picked up a set from Streetworks for $60,

            This is more what I wanted, cheapest I've seen them though was $189 just for the brackets. I still want to use the 8" headlight and not have a problem hiding wires.

              mmmm Nice lookin' though, here's the link for for the ones I used (much cheaper to!) They didn't fit the h/light to well so hence making that.

                I kept considering those but couldn't seem to find the size I needed. I would ask the sellers for measurements without the rubbers and they all came up just a bit short of what I needed. Now I wish I had just gotten the biggest they had and gone with them. Mine should be in soon. About all I need now is a fender. The '88 axle on my bike now is about the only thing iffy and I need to have stops welded to the triple and some stock welded under the upper yoke to mount instruments.

                  your right they are a smidge short but very hard to tell, the biggest pain I've had is the clock mounting, Ali is not good due to clock weight an vibrations I'm going to rig up the "standard" bandit gear, including the bushes!

                          Goodness man, what all have you done to it? I'd love to have that much power in my 1100.

                          nm, I didn't see the rest of the thread. Awesome bike man. I originally wanted to to with that look for mine, but since I have a late model sport bike, and I'm planning a big trip, I am gonna go ahead and keep the confort beast for now.

                            All tuning was done for me by Sean and the guys at Big CC www.bigccracing.com It made 125 bhp with the standard GSXR carbs but as I said before they were rich at high revs so the decision was made to go Mikuni RS WOW! these things are amazing!
                            Even the guys at BIGcc were impressed.

                            I've tried to upload some more photos but the files are to large I'll get some more shots and load m up.
                            Forgot to mention some of the smaller mods such as foot rests, indicators, casings, switch gear etc but these will show in the next photos ... this bike really has been a labour of love if it wasn't one thing it was another .. if you have a vision though you gota stick with it.

                              I've got RS34's on my 700. For a bolt on item they give more bang for the buck than just about anything you can do.
