    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Nice, even with modern forks and wheels I feel a GS looks better with dual shocks... of course just my opinion :)
 
I think the easy option these days is the Mac 2 into 1. Not sure if there's a 250 version but there definitely is for the 400/425/450.

As for where to buy them, not sure exactly... :cool:

narrow it and bore out the 14 mm pivot bolt to 16mm. need to have my rear hub turn down to get the chain as close to the tire as i can, Running a 5.5 wheel with 170 tire. then on to the front offset sprocket.

It's easier with a 160 on a 4.5"...

The 170 on a 5.5" will probably be marginal (as to whether you can get chain clearance where it goes to the right of the frame at the front of the swinger). :)

170 is a little stretched on a 5.5" anyway. I had the 170 / 5.5" setup on my 750.
 
front end

front end

you mentioned on the front end using a 91-92 gsxr 750 front forks but you played with the bearings a bit. im building a 250 myself and would like to do the same thing. Are they a direct bolt in or with different bearings are they? how exactly did you do it?

Did you have to switch the stem adn upper triple as well?

what all did you switch?

Thanks

Ok I give up... not seein' nothin'... :confused:

Do you have a link to the pic? Maybe I can copy/paste into my browser directly...

Edit: Just went back through this thread and now I can't see any pic's you've posted earlier even though I definitely could when you started the thread! Weirdness...
 
Pete,

can you see the image in MY response, post #34?

The images are hosted in 323D's GSR album,so I'm having a hard time understanding why you can't see them.
 
I didn't realise they were in the album, just went there now and I see them, but don't see them in this thread :confused:

The tank looks good, very familiar but I don't think T500... more like one of those early step throughs I think...
 
time to start back up on my build shocks should be here in the next few days. Anyone know what is the max i can go on a offset front sprocket? I don't want to stress out the bearings
 
New shocks are in el cheepo piggy backs.
