What kind of clearance at the exhaust collector?

[Guest]

Don't know exact clearance cant set it down till i get shock and lower link mounted or figure out some stands to set it at ride height.

[Guest]

More pics of upgrades
this is at static height 6.9 degrees up on swingarm 5" clearance on collector









this pic is material i got at alro retail store to make swingarm pivot bushings its 2"x.500 wall DOM




Teardown started to get old pivot bushings out

What is the idea of the pivot bushings, I thought the stock swing arm axle would fit the new swing arm, looks like that is going straight through the new swing arm.

Bike is looking great!!

What is your headstock rake? You can adjust it by raising and lowering the rear end. Somewhere in the 23-25 degree range is good for handling - quick steering but not nervous. A little bit of front wheel weight bias is a good thing, like 51-52% front and 48-49% rear.

I had a machine shop make me a pair of swing arm pivot bushings and a new swing arm bolt. We cut the old ones out and welded the new ones in. I went from a 750E to an 1100E swing arm.

What shock are you going to setup for? Are you using stock or aftermarket.

[Guest]

Stock 95 gsxr1100 shock. Front rake is 24 degrees.

[Guest]

Looks great. Our conversions will have one thing in common, Alro supplied steel. I work at their Oshkosh branch.

[Guest]

The Alro retail store here is awesome keeps me from having to scrounge around at the scrap yard. And only have to buy what i need not full pieces.

[Guest]
