Talk about it here if youd like.

Need swinger ideas...220mm gap

 

[yantosh]

will the frame need much modifying to accept the new motor ?

 

[jed.only]

SRAD or Bandit12 wheels?

 

[medimicated420]

The frame is 1.5 inches too narrow
Wether it'll be evenly shaved both sides will remain to be seem once rear suspension is finally set up and can see chain run

K6/k7 gsxr is 227mm
Prolly heading that route


And these are Srad wheels

 

[Mista M]

Curious as to what the weight comparison is to the old 400 motor to the new gsxr mill.

Can't you just have two "top hat" spacers for the swingarm pivot instead of one really long spacer? If you make them a bit longer than the bearings, they'll enter the inner crush tube a bit and keep it from flopping around a little.

Later, Doug

 

[jed.only]

you can use srad, busa, or TL rotors. just FYI, went through that mess. i have a single rotor that is black centered, pretty sure its srad.

 

[medimicated420]

Two tophat spacers could replace the originals.

What I'm wondering I guess is how important is that spacer/sleeve inside the swingarm between the bearings?

3mm of play could be a lot of it takes stress is what I'm worried about.

And Jed how much would ya want for that rotor?

 

[yantosh]

is the spacer tube inside the swingarm not a crush tube, the same as in a wheel, if you have the new top hats have the same outer dimensions as the originals, just with a smaller bore it should be spot on , no?

i take it the 7mm is being removed from the frame?

 

[medimicated420]

If I don't have to worry about the middle spacer even better I was just worried that the 3mm of play inside could somehow damage the axle

Two tophats would be easy and ideal

 

[yantosh]

just make one of the tophats 3mm longer , would be better without it floating about , i thought thats what it would have been as standard

Merry Christmas guyis

amnd yan this is what im trying to mimick but with a different swinger. same widht cept mines23mm axle

seems easy enough, narrow the arm, press the bearings further in and make two top hat spacers, i'd make the spacers from a decent quality steel, the outside dia to suit the bearings, the inside reamed for the spindle and stepped at the end to locate in the crush tube. it'd be best to have it all done at once, have the modified arm sitting as the new top hats are made, that way it can be assembled and checked that the space between the top hats is enough to stop the arm itself being nipped up and stopping it rotating around the spindle


does that make sense ?

 

[crystal_skull]

just got one too
subbed your build thread

:doh: now be my hero and show me the way lol

 

[medimicated420]

YES! good to hear crystal now theres what? 5 of us? lol


And Yan I think il be sticking to your plan and just getting having the crush washer sit over the tophats just a little bit

Thanks guys! final measurements need to be done
unfortunately couldnt buy the socket i needed these past two days. damn holidays

 

[yantosh]

nice seat unit man , you could pop the cover off the R6 seat and plastic weld pieces of another seat base to fill the gap. Radiobloke had to do a fair bit of that on his big bird build , he might have an old build thread on here

 

[medimicated420]

I do quite like the r6 seat on there, but the more I look at it I feel like this is gonna have to be a full on custom job (im thinking steel rod base with mesh and fiberglass reinforcement), using the r6 seat I know I cant fill that hole (lol) perfectly...plus I do like the r6 seat shape. if it went with the seat contour slightly more id be golden though

This build is already consisting of all my FAVORITE components from different bikes... started as a what-parts-I-have-on-hand kinda build but the goodies list on this build is quickly becoming alll the components ive dreamed of having....I dont think im going to settle on any part of this bike

 

[shinyribs]

Congrats on the welder dude. Tried to rep but I'm dry.

"in the seat exhaust"

 

[medimicated420]

thanks bud nothing crazy just a little century/craftsman built 110v gas mig

still need to get a argon tank
