Re: NEW PICS!

Wow, I wish I could get a sportier swingarm that would mount right up to my 81 GS750L. But sadly its tne deposed "L" model that nothing seems to fit.

I don't know how well the forks will work yet... I don't have a wheel ready. I need to lace the wheel up (4.25 rim - 2001 sportster aluminum hub - 20MM bearings) to see if it will clear the calipers. I also have not recieved my front tire (140/70-18 Avon Venom) because it's back ordered. I'm hoping the front tire/wheel will bring it up a little and not ruin the trail on the forks. I'm also hunting for CBR 954 triple's like Katman has. They are supposed to add an inch of height.

I rode it today, the front end is scarry. It's sagged so much it makes the front feel "heavy" and the single disc has way to little stopping power. I've got some jetting/tuning issues too, no power over 5K.

Anyone know if the GSXR speedo drive works with the GS speedo?

Hey PhiloFab, How did you mount the license plate like that?

I just made a little bracket and welded it to the frame. Here are some new pics.

That's beautiful man! Hey, thank you for posting the pics of the rearsets. I would like to copy that on my bike. Also, if you plan on running the bike with just the headers like that could you tell me what your carb jetting is?
I run pods on mine and I'd like to run it with just the 4-into-1 header but I don't feel like messing with the jetting if someone else already knows the good settings.

Thank you thank you,

Right now I've got 120 mains and 15 pilot. Stock needle on the KZ VM carbs. My coils/ignition are trashed so it does not run right. I have a DynaS + Coils on the way, I've also got a electrix stator + reg coming if it ever comes off backorder. I plan on putting a 4/1 header on it and building it back to the rear wheel. I think I've got some stock GSXR1300 mufflers laying around I might put on it.

I wish my 140/70-18 tire would show so I can put my USD forks on.

Dude, that is streetfighter to the max!

I'm super jealous of the rearsets...

Awesome.

Man that is turning into a sweet bike! Nice work on the welding and fabrication. I can't wait to see what's next.

Hmmm...Sounds good. I've been trying to figure out how to get a Hayabusa can to go onto my MAC 4-into-1 header.
So far It is looking like I will have to have a custom mid-pipe created.
I searched the junkyards but could not find a midpipe with a 2.5 inch connection to the header. I've got Dyna coils on my bike too. Far superior to the stock coils. The Electrex stator and R/R work out great too. They were the first thing I swapped out on my bike.

I might move the controls up, or I need to lift the bike a few inches. I got a little to balsy into a left corner while the bike decided to run good. I had my boot under the shifter so I could upshift out of the corner and pow... new scrape mark on my boots. Didn't hurt much though.

Maybe it needs GP style shift....

Nice Job Mate

 

[Detman101]

Any updates Philofab?
The bike looks great. I should have mine back on the road by this weekend at the latest!!

 

[philofab]

Got the Dyna ignition and coils on, my electrix stator and reg are lost in the mail.

Still have not made a seat.

Still no front tire.... 140/70/18 Avon front tyres are unobtanium.

So my akront rim + sportster hub and GSXR 750 forks are still sitting against the wall .

On the good side riding a 90 HP bike with a rotten front tyre and no fork oil is improving my skill.

I need to get the bike done... going to ride it to Paso Robles on memorial. 6 hours might make me have a sore butt...

 

[philofab]

oh... the 93 gsxr forks came off Britt Turkington's Supersport bike and the forks have been reworked by Lindemann Engineering.

Just need some 954 honda clamps now.... or see if forking by frank can make em longer.

 

[philofab]

I've built a seat.

I've built a seat.

I built a seat for it after being pulled over 4 times... the last cop called my bluff. ARS 28-964B says it has to have a seat... but not what they want in a seat.

I also installed my new stator + reg.

I'll post pics Mon if I have a chance.

 

[andyjohnson]

philofab,
great bike! over the next few months I'll be doing a similar project with a GS450. How much hacking/drilling did it take to get those rearsets to work? Also, did that kz seat give you alot of trouble?

well I'm using a '92 GSXR 1100 front end with my '82 Katana and the speedo hooks up just fine, you just have to calculate the difference in wheel size into the speed you're supposedly going. the old wheel was 19" the new one is 17" so the difference is like 12% or something. If my speedo says 80 I'm really going 70 or something.

Sorry for replying to this old post, just saw it
