Anti - dive blocking plates

It's first Gen gSXr as is the wheel and fork...

Salty Monk is right
First gen GSXR !
Beware that the 1100 and 750s had different disk sizes ( 310 vs 300) and you need to have the matching caliper.
Also the spindle diameter went from 15 to 17 mm in 1987.
The good news is that this must be the lightest production wheel ever produced for a 750/1100 bike
Most classic racing bikes use these wheels here in France.

Been thinking of putting one on the skunk with stock (haha not quite) fork at some stage... Replace the 2.15" x 19" 650g one. That's a 2.5" x18" rim isn't it?

Did you use the gsxr speedo drive and cable with stock GS gauges?

[John Kat]

That was my first idea but...the overall width of the wheel at the axle level ( including the speedo drive) is slightly too large to fit in the std GS 1000 fork
I believe GregT worked around the issue by trimming the GSXR speedo drive but I don't know how it can be done?
The GSXR speedo drive is specific to this model...
The wheel is a 2.5*18 fitted with a radial 110/80*18 tire that complements the 4*18 rear wheel currently with a 160 tire ( but that's too wide for a 60 profile tire)
I'm currently using a GSXR speedometer but you could use a std GS 1000 instrument panel as the speedo cable will fit
Here's what it looks like:

I'm using the 2.75"x18" front wheel with 110/80-18 tire. Need to use a bandit speedo cable as it is long enough to go between the GSXR speedo drive and the GS speedo.

All in all I think the speedo is about 2 mph off at 60 mph (reads a little high)

Thanks... Something to remember. When I FINALLY clearcoat my wheels I can mount the Avon Radials that I've had on the shelf for a year...

I'm going to run the 3.5" 1150 wheel with a 140 Rear Radial & the 2.15" (yes it's right on the limits for width) front 19" GS650 wheel with a front 110 radial.

.......On that cross drilled hole plugged with an allen screw, is to allow flow of oil, ...
from demonspeed......."I usually suggest that the plug face down so water doesn't collect in the top of it but either way does not affect its operation."

Finding the 4 bolt pattern ones for the 700/750 has been a challenge

And the eBay items and web site go

Well Crap, time to make my own I guess

I have the guys email address..
Anyways, the old 1150 is alive again.
I ditched the leaky PDF valves and installed (demonspeedracing@gmail.com) block off plates. they allow oil flow which was redundant for my application, as I also fit a pair of Racetech gold valves. and straight rate springs (1.018 kg/mm).
After fooling around with the emulators and preload spacers, I settled on the lightest emulator spring 2 turns in and 2 inch preload spacers which gave (coincidentally) 50mm of static sag.
