Post by noshoes »

This was done awhile ago but I lost my camera cable and was out riding it , so heres some photos of my 90 1000..
The forks are off a 92 Fzr 1000,brakes are off 98 R1,EBC Pro Light contour,Ebc pads, steel lines,Technomagnesio Rims..Still waiting on new sprocket or rear magnesium rim and titanium rotor bolts.. Rear end has 155mm dogbones and Ohlins rear hrc46...The bike handles like a dream!!!!!

Thanks!! The 92 forks raised the front about an 1/8th of an inch, and Dr Jims 155mm dog-bones raised the rear about 1.5 inches. I got used to the new riding position after 10 miles.I couldn't be happier with the way it handles!!!! :bfg :bfg :bfg

@FZRDude: Done! (no problem)

I'll be fitting six calliper (?) brakes from a '94 / '95 model. Not completely sure though, I recently learned that the brake disc surface is smaller for those bikes... And I don't want to loose my Brembo Apprillia brake discs. Maybe it's not a problem, I'll find out soon.


Noshoes: what have you done about the bigger front end collapsing with the radiator mount? As long as there's no accident it's not a problem. But I'm afraid the front end will be permanently damaged in such a case...
