Great looking Kat..
It's been a real pain to extend the front forks as for some reason the inner tube extension started to seize when I took it apart after a blank test.
It proved impossible to refit it without taking it back to the tool and die maker
He also added a groove to fit an O-ring on the extension tube as the oil would seep out during riding!
I believe the better ( and much cheaper...) solution would be to use a Bandit 1200 front end as the inner tubes are much longer.
Of course you will miss the tuning capability.
For the rear it was quite easy as the GSXR 1100 K wheel with it's drive and disk just slotted in with some extra spacers.
The chain has to be converted to a 530 model with a 13 mm offset drive sprocket.
The rear caliper from the same bike must also be used.
The caliper's reaction bar is attached to the centerstand frame support.
All in all not very complicated but time consuming for suresigpicJohn Kat
