just got the windscreen but if the size is any indication it appears it will offer about the same protection as my hayabusa sheild,which pretty much blasts you right in the chest unless your tucked in

Just finished making up a temporary headlight and windscreen mount as my GSG bracket is about 4-6 weeks away.Mounted my Easton bars and risers(thanks Isleoman)installed the F-16 fairing and rear sets.waiting on new Vapour dash.I am happy with the look so far.5 months till spring I should be done

Can we see some close ups of how you mounted the F-16. Is it just two bolts or are there 2 more mounts? I'm going with this style fairing for my GSXR; it is a little larger off a Ducati. If you go to my Siggy and look at

offset sprocket

offset sprocket

I know i have seen it on the forum but cant find it.Who is the supplier for the offset front sprocket ,I have .700 offset from front to rear offset with the rear sprocket flipped so with a 5/8 offset sprocket i will be pretty close. I can gain about 2mm by trimming the inside bearing spacer . It would be so much easier if i could get an offset rear sprocket but i dont see any on the web. Anybody have an idea where i might find one

Ha! If I can ever get it done.

I still have so much to do and no money or time. I have the paint purchased but I need a booth and some time.
I have the carbs, but need manifolds and a fuel cut-off to get it running.

I'm close, but.....

I got my offset sprocket from Kosman Specialties. http://www.kosman.net/

Call over there and talk to Sandy Kosman. He'll hook you up with what you need.
 
To my knowledge, no one makes an offset REAR sprocket. Kosman, PMFR & other drag race companies make offset FRONT sprockets but not rears. Ray.
 
D&G chassis

D&G chassis

Just got off the phone with Dave from D&G chassis and he is making me a 5/8 offset 520 16 tooth sprocket. It was great dealing with him as all other sources i spoke with only made 530&630 offset sprockets
I would highly recommend him for oddball stuff
 
How much? Are you just using the sprocket by itself or adding a bearing support too? Ray.

U sure it will fit? Normally 17" conversions have to be 530 at least and most go 520.

I have seen 5/8's offset 630 gears on ebay. here is a 15 tooth.

85 plus shipping sounded good to me. I was not going to use a bearing support what do you think,I was thinking with the 5/8 offset i should get away with it

Sounds like a fair price to me for something that's a custom, one off piece. As far as hanging the sprocket further out from the trans bearing I, PERSONALLY, won't do it without a bearing support. It isn't a whole lot of money for something that will pretty much ELIMINATE trans bearing issues. It also looks pretty cool if you polish, chrome, or powdercoat the plate! Just my take on it but I HAVE seen trans bearing failures & it CAN wreck a set of cases. Ray.
 
some progress

some progress

fabricated bracket and installed vapour dash ,installed busa switces and front brake master,gsxr750 clutch lever.installed D+G offset sprocket,removed gear position sensor .fabricated rear set mounts.now i just need all my ordered parts to show up .waiting on chain and rear sprocket,gsxr1000 rearsets,rear carbon hugger, new LED signals,alarm/starter and the elusive GSG headlight mount.Tore the whole harness out and started modifying it. I will not be using a key swith it will have a remote starter/alarm to arm the electrics.Sure seems like slow progress but with three kids and a wife it is a juggling act foresure. Would anybody know where i might find a wiring diagram for my 83.I am using one from a 1980 gs 850 which seems pretty close
