I've had a pic of your Yosh replica as my computer wallpaper for about 6 months now - love that bike, and it's been a huge inspiration to do mine up. :-D

How much clearance do you have under the lowest part of your header? I agree the V&H 4 into 1 isn't well suited to this application. I'd love to wind up with a 4 into 2 into 1 with a Yoshi canister on the end.

Hey PJ,
getting a brand new aftermarket one. Cut down "Eddie Lawson" style, should finish it all off nicely. Only been waiting 8 weeks for it to be made!!! Costing about $200 US with post but fed up trying to find a good second hand one, could have cut down the std seat, like I did with my first GS way back when....... but thought I would treat myself for my birthday. Will get some pics when it's done.

Rims are '87, forks, triples and brakes are '88 1100. Was worried about ground clearance after hearing stuff here, but looks ok to me!Mike

Text messages with my youngest brother Daniel right after he was paralyzed:
Me: Hey Dan-O. Just wanted to say howdy & love ya!
Dan-O: Howdy and Love you too. Doing good, feeling good.
Me: Give 'em hell, Little Bro!
Dan-O: Roger that! :)

What did the clearance under your header measure out to?

Dropped about 1 in. or a touch more up front, but rear was almost the exact same, despite the difference in rims size, due to different tire profile (130/90-19 vs. 160/60-18 ). Woohoo!! Radial tires!Last edited by Cassius086; 05-09-2007, 04:40 PM.Mike

Yeah, I can't wiat to get it all buttoned up! Mounting the brakes and new pads, and a new battery tomorrow. Hopefully, if all goes well, I'll be able to finish the bracket for the ignition and the gauges, too.Mike

Hi PJ,
Seat didn't arrive again!!!!
Got dragged out shopping after work and it's all dark out there now.
I remember measuring the height of the frame lower cradle before and after and there was only half an inch difference (lower) after the mods. Main thing is to get everything like footrests up and out of the way, which you are doing. The exhaust headers are tucked inside the "triangle" of lean but the end pipe is too flat and needs tucking in. Sleeping policemen are not a problem though I do go over them quick to hoik the front up a little hee hee!!
Will measure tomorrow.....hopefully
:-D

The lowest part of the frame is 8" from the ground right now - is that about the same as yours?
Thanks!

It's been ****ing down for the last week or so constantly here and the bike is safely tucked under wraps until I get warmed up a bit..!!
My new seat has arrived and I will get it fitted and some measurements done after I have run the kids to the dentist.... ahhhhhhh the joys of being a parent!!

Help!!! I finally picked up a 04 gsxr 1000 front end off ebay. One of the outer tubes has a dent right at the fork seal dust cover. I pried the cover off and found no damage to the inner tube. I was figuring that i could fix the dent by knocking it back out but a friend of mine says that I am better off replacing the tube because the dent may have knocked the tube out of round and the fork seal will not seal properly if thats the case.....any suggestions?

Yeah, I don't know if it's repairable or not, but it seems like you should be able to get your money back from the eBay seller?
If you can't get a refund, you'll probably just as well replace the dented fork tube as the seals do require a precision fit, and you wouldn't want it to start leaking, plus it's already been weakened from being dented.Last edited by Guest; 05-15-2007, 05:22 PM.
