MONSTER brakes in the day, In retrospect I would simply go USD forks, 17"wheel & have better/stiffer/tunable front suspension. luck G
          G, i ended up with the 296mm rotors and have changed offset spacers, calipers and brackets a number of times. I like the look of spokes and this bike will be ridden hard but will not get near a track.

            The PO filled it in but apparently forgot to do the tail piece. I plan on changing the color of the bike soon and i will fill the tailpiece in to

I have managed to acrue spares of all the nec. painted bits & have the winter to prep them for fresh paint. am leaning tward black w/blue but vacilate, what ever will be stock scheme. I club raced this bike for 3 seasons in the MRA but could never win the #1 plate tho I'm sure a better rider could have. I like this bike, hope you enjoy.G

              I don't agree with your 'nothing special' thought. I like your bike a lot! You paid attention to key components of deep-motor work AND suspension. Well done!

                And it's almost as evil brother

                Oh man, that red roller is exactly what I'm looking for, to do a cruise-night, pro-street bike. I've got an 1150 motor waiting for something stretched with a stock tank. BIG tire would be fine, also.

                    Cool Custom!

                    Capt., are you still interested in the gSXR front end?

Im currently looking for front forks in good shape so i can do a dual disc front end, and gs1100 swinger.
                      Beautiful bike. El G.

                        What is that you are using for air filters?

                          Hey Greg, sorry about that. I think I'm going to hold off on doing that front end swap. Thanks for all the info though.

                            Some foam filter material. I'm trying to locate either some NOS pods (which I'm pretty sure is next to impossible) or find a K&N oval set with the same dimensions, or see about getting an oval to round adapter crafted so I can use a regular round filter.

                                If you get someone to make an ovals to round adapter LMK, I may be in for one too. Maybe something from the two ovals to a single large oval that a common K&N will fit.
