All 20- RVF800RR Build No response with exhaust info. A little frustrating, but oh well. I’ve got plenty of things to work on!! So I believe I made a friend at my school who said he would be willing to do some sketches kind of like Truckinduc…
- RVF800RR Build Awesome topic!
- VFR800 track project Gents, I've been away for a while... I owe you some pics, will try upload in a few days :) If it's not too late, DON'T bother with the GSXR/CBR stem swap, I tried exactly this a few weeks ago. Sadly the GSXR stem is…
- VFR800 track project Dammit kostritzer, now you're just teasing! OK, may re-consider the new post... :)
- Front end conversion - was yours worth it ?? I'm going through a GSXR1000 K7 conversion (see VFR800 track project thread). So not exactly in your scope by the sounds of it... The way I see it there's no limit to what you can stick in there, just find something you…
- VFR800 track project Finally, here are some long overdue pics. The front wheel is the original six-spoker, It's only been fitted for show! I can't use this wheel as the discs sit about 5mm too far apart - at the moment they clear the forks…
- VFR800 track project Baileyrock For Sure! I've got a set of K7 750 forks w/wheel, calipers and rotors all ready to go. I too figured that the lower tree bearing was the same as the Honda, but never tried to sorce a upper bearing yet. So…
- VFR800 track project Hehe, cheers guys, glad to hear it! :rolleyes: Hmmm, new thread? - Not sure there's enough here, progress has been way slower than I'd be proud of... OK so the bearing you'll be after is an NSK HR32906J - it is a taper…
- VFR800 track project Jokes aside, things have been a bit slower than planned but the new news is I have the GSXR forks in the frame! So that's GSXR1000 K7 forks, running 50mm upper and 56mm lower triples and 28mm offset. The lower steering…
- VFR800 track project Hmmm, all quiet on the Trackbike-front? I've bought up a few more ebay parts... So time to take a poll- I can either go with a GSXR1000 K7 or CBR1000 RR5 front end. The decision will dictate front wheel selection, as…
- VFR800 track project :biggrin: I might call you GenGEn from here on. Just to confuse you even more while you're nice and vulnerable; A recent Performance Bikes magazine had a reader bike snippet of someone who squeezed a Gen4 engine in an…
- VFR800 track project kostritzer Can't help you with the forks, other than suggesting that you bore the lower triples from 54-56mm. As for the front wheel, how about an SP1 front? They're a six spoke design, and they have to weight less than…
- VFR800 track project Cheers for the feedback! Yeah, I was worried the 6-spoke front is a waste of time. Dammit, I just can't get past the fact that 3-spoke wheels are about as exciting as watching paint dry! But you're right, I'll be on the…
- VFR800 track project NEWS! I've been looking for forks for a while, now I got two sets! 1 set off an '05 CBR1000RR, the other off a GSXR1000 K7. Thanks Fleabay! I bid on both thinking I might get one if lucky, and luck saw the humor in…
- VFR800 track project kostritzer Yes, I forgot about that. I really like the shape of the tank, I think it would look good with the 5th gen frame. Maybe a "dummy" RC51 tank with a fuel cell underneath would be the way to go. I've always…
- VFR800 track project kostritzer I'll definitely try to weigh the arm the next time I have it off. Actually, I need to remove it soon to mill the old lugs off so we can take measurements for the new lug. Wish I had the old VFR swingarm to…
- VFR800 track project kostritzer Those measurements seem to be pretty close to what these guys are getting over on the superhawk (firehawk to you brits?) site. Here's a link just for reference…
- VFR800 track project OK, I've received the CBR954 swingarm. I made some measurements: LENGTH 540-565mm (centre of swingarm pivot to centre of rear axle, accounting for 25mm rear axle movement) WIDTH1 190mm (measured between pivots to…
- VFR800 track project kostritzer I've gone back and forth on the swingarm for this bike. I have an 05 600RR swing arm that I was looking into fitting, but I think its a bit too long compared to the SP2 swing arm which is maybe an inch longer…
- VFR800 track project kostritzer Not much of an update, but I've machined the spacers for the swing arm pivot, and aligned the wheels. Hey all, Best Thread ever! I have signed up just so I can join in. I have similar plans with my Gen5, with…
