GSXR Forks project

[chi998]

Test fit the forks last night. everything fits good. Now I just need to buy some calipers and get the wheel and rotors spaced out correctly.

Sweet! [thumbsup]

Now I know why I like those. Diamond-Like-Coating on the fork tubes. Not only functional but cool looking contrasted against the gold tubes

That's gonna be a bad ass bike! That's a good idea on lifting the front wheel-- last month mine looked like a torture chamber:

The S2R is looking quite the killer! I love the gold contrast and bobber seat. Also the ingenuity in using your workout machinery. [thumbsup]

God, where is the nice looking Euro chick with the leathers and raquetball in her mouth? I see you swiped her out for the monster! [laugh]

I threw the raquetball out the door and said "Fetch! I gotta put my wheels back on!"

So do you 'have to' use clip-ons to make this work?
I can see that you clip-ons already, but want to know if you found it necessary.

no, stock triple and bar will work fine.

In other news today, there has been a dramatic uptick in pricing of Gixxer front ends on Ebay...what [laugh]

[chi998]

everybody is doing it [laugh]

I stole one of Ruben's stock forks last night so he has to buy gixxer forks now too [thumbsup]

Are you able to use a stock Ducati front wheel and axle? What about the brake rotors -- would they be spaced properly to accept the radial calipers from a Gixxer?
