Project 700ES ( Revisited )

[jwhelan65]

So here it is all mocked up, surprisingly it was a fairly straight forward swap. The only real modification needed is to have the front wheel spacer cut down to size. The front fender will require some center spacing as well but nothing to difficult. Here is the build list..

1150 complete triple clamp ( 700 clocks are direct bolt on )
1150 front axle and speedo drive
1150 steering head cover
1150 2.75" front wheel ( swap from the 2.15" on the 700 )
700 joint air valve ( its tight but it will work )
700 front forks and calipers
700 stock rotors

With the exception of the recession of the key ignition ring the stock look is maintained. The only way to fix that would be to swap out an 1150 lock kit which I may do.

With the suspension improvements and the 1150 wheel swap it should give it a much wider taller stance vs. the previous squatty skinny look.

Pods are great with the pipe, but a PIA to get them right.

I hear ya....but I got a pipe and stock air box and it's a PITA to get right as well...LOL

one day I will have to try....

it was suggested to me to just take the air filter out, and test.....see if it improves...

anyways back to your rebuild....

coming along nicely.....

Hard to see the spacing but I have the outer axle hat sleeve in backwards so I could piece things together. Allows for a 120 up front...

Hope to have the spacer cut and fitted this week. As soon as that is done I have a pile for the powder coater. Anxious to get it back on the road.

 

[jwhelan65]

The inner right bearing spacer from the 1150 will need to be reduced 8.5mm to line up the front wheel..I think, still doing some measuring....

 

[jwhelan65]

Wheels and calipers back from the powder coater along with new Core moto braided lines and color matched Supersprox..

The front 1150 swap to a 2.75

Front 700 calipers matched with the 1150 rear, hanger,and Bandit brake stay.

Very nice.....

You are putting my Yamaha resto to shame....I unfortunately have had no time to do anything that is bike related, too many projects around the house at the moment, but I am almost done, then it's back to the bike....

Keep up the good work....
