Welcome to the site, Steve.
Great collection of bikes. I have owned a bunch of 400-4s, a fun ride.
Any pics of the little four?

My first street bike was a Honda 400 Four with the factory 4 into 1 exhaust 75 I think. I saw one in Walnecks a while back for $3500.
 
Looks great so far! Good work!!!!!

Please open yourself a photobucket account and upload all your photos there. Once they are uploaded you can link them here in all their high resolution glory. Keep going...and keep us posted...with photos...:)

rear swingarm swap

rear swingarm swap

Just removed the stock swingarm from my 83 gs11 and looking for some input.Stock swingarm measures 225mm wide and 05 gsxr measures 231.I was planning on removing 3mm from each side.stock swingarm bolt measures 25mm and new swingarm is 40mm i.d looking on a few web sites i cant find a 24x40x25 bearing. Any suggestions would be appreciated
 
All you need is a good machinist to make you a sleeve to go inside the new arm to bring it down to your pivot bolt diameter. Ray.

I second the call for a quality machinist. If you're serious about doing the fat tire conversion, you'll need one. Or the skills and equipment to do it yourself.

I'll third it.

I'm a little concerned abou that aspect. Nobody local has impressed me so far. I have a good welder, he's an artist with a TIG, but the machine shops I have dealt with... haven't found the right one yet.
 
If you can make a CORRECT drawing, with ALL dimensions, Greg B here is a GREAT machinist! Contact him. Ray.

after a little more measuring it works out that the inner race from the GS fits perfectly into the race for the gsxr so i am going to weld the two together,use the gs pivot bolt and spacer with the gsxr bearings and it looks like it will work.I ended up grinding the 3mm off the sides of the swingarm.We got 3 inches of snow today so i wont be riding it any time too soon.thanks for the advice

rear shock mount

rear shock mount

Finished my rear shock mount yesterday.Little bit different than what i,ve seen but i think it should be plenty strong. Welded on some steering stops to allow about 1/8 clearance to the tank.
 
Looks like a very sturdy mount. Nice job. I'm looking forward to this one; great bike! Also, nice collection you've got there. I'm considering a big-bore Speed Triple, and I've had 3 CB400F SSs in my day...one even had some Yosh stuff in the motor.
Keeeeeeeep on postin'! :D
