    Bar positions

    I have an old set of '82 Katana clip-ons. Plus two pair of 1150ES bars. Which are lower than 700E bars, (but bolt to the triple clamp the same way) but the angle may be odd on the 700. Maybe if a ride happens this weekend, I'll bring them along so you can take a look at them.

    Project: Cool Kat II

    Looks like the shaft on the right one is a bigger diameter. Also looks slightly bent, but that could just be the photo. Also the section just above the lower eye looks different.

    More Photos More Photos Setting up the rotors to put the new hole pattern in them. Indicating the center hole. Drilling & reaming the new holes. Back on the bike. Now I need to design & machine the caliper brackets. I think I'm going to need to make a nice fork brace also. After all...

    A Little Farther Along, More Photos A Little Farther Along, More Photos I needed to face the backside of my spacer parallel to the side that the rotor mounts against. Used the same piece of material to make a fixture to hold the parts on the lathe. Drilled and countersunk holes, bolted to...

    Heli-coil in my drain pan. No problem.

    Updgardinr 1100ES Brakes

    Since the 750 forks are longer than the 1100 forks, & with the clip-ons mounted above the triple clamps, I end up losing about 1/2" of ride height. That's with Progressive springs with 1.25" long spacer. So I don't think it will be too twitchy. But I do plan on installing a steering damper as well.

    Updgardinr 1100ES Brakes

    The guy I got the rotors from said they were Brembos, but there is no part # by which to verify. But I can't see any reason to doubt him. The calipers I picked on CL for $75 for the pair. So major score there. The wheel is from a 750ES, and is going on my '83 GS1100ES. Bye bye 19" front wheel...

    Updgardinr 1100ES Brakes

    Having a nice 4 day weekend, I decided to get started on my brake upgrade. Here's where I'm at so far. The rotors have a much larger center hole than the hubs on my wheel. Plus I needed to move the rotor out about 1/8" (or 3mm if you prefer). Wheel is a 16 incher from an '85 750ES. So I...

    what did you wrench on today??

    This was actually Sunday night. Ray came over & helped me get my carbs synced in. Then I back ground some valves from a GSX-R head he's working on. Should be good for a few more CFM.

    Yoshimura GSX1135R (EFE) Project

    Make sure to use adequate layers of teflon tape on the petcock threads. Don't be tempted to use pipe dope. Especially if you might want to take the petcock out of the adapter. Ask me how I know.

    Another Brush With Death

    Don't ever rely on mirrors alone. Do a full head check. If you need to twist you whole body to get a good look behind, DO IT!!! Better than getting killed.

    ebay Dealers selling turn indicators?

    Check e-bay seller cyclepartsdirect. They are in Canada. I've bought from them more that once and have been very happy. Just sayin'.

    GS1150 case guards

    Those look like an after market version of what Suzuki offered. The ones from Suzuki an indent running the length of the guard. The fische shows one long bolt instead of U-bolts. No longer available from Suzuki, part # 94200-00811, they do come up on e-bay from time to time.

    Accessory Wiring (GPS)

    Thanks, I'm not crazy about the RAM handle bar mount, but it will work until I make something better. Did you come off of the fuse block for your 12V supply? The thing on the windscreen is a transponder for the local toll roads. Makes it so I don't have to stop at a toll booth, and can just...
