    PS, do you have a part number for that sprocket? the biggest I could find in 520 for my wheel was a 45 tooth?
    What wheel you got?
    My wheel is a 98 Bandit 1200, I believe I purchased the Supersprox on here from Katman. You might look up the Bandit application, as long as you are using the GS hub it will bolt right up.

    Your rear sprocket...what tooth count? I am looking at the same brand in a 45 tooth count 520 chain.

    I love the color of your bike as well!

    Hmmmm. Possibly later on. I just took some aluminum plate, traced them out and welded it to some clamshells from some aluminum tubing I had laying around. I do not weld aluminum very often, so I had to use the old die grinder quite a bit to get them shaped up! I still have the templates. I could cut some out pretty easy of you want to weld them up your self. I really wanted to do a clamp but that would take a lot of machine time which I do not have... that was the quickest way i could come up with to get them on the fork tubes.

    My risers will be here first of the week. On the GSXR top triple clamp, I machined .250 off the bottom so it would drop further down on the tree. This allowed me to drop the forks down as well. Was able to drop the forks somewhere around 3/4". Will measure more exact tomorrow. I will incorporate the switch into the gage cluster bracket so it will remain in the stock location.

    Speedo???? for now, my Garmin placed over the stock speedo will have to do untill I can find another gage cluster to hack into and place something inside.

    The ignition does not fit the new top clamp, so I go to the machine shop tommorow to make the gage cluster bracket and mill the top clamp ignition piece off.

    I want to maintain a stockish look and the front light etc. So I made my own brackets and coated them with KG gunkote as well as the triple tree.



    I pulled the light forward some from stock so I could drop the factory gage cluster a little deeper.

    Clearance with 4 into 1 headers. I will loose a little in the rear but not much. A 180 tire is almost as tall as the stock 130. Might have to build new headers, but ...
