Band/Gixer Conversion (week 2)

Wow,
That is a good deal. I already have a set of 17" Corsa III's ready to be mounted. What do you think about how they would compare? There would go on my GSXR Street fighter.

Just picked up another set of Bridgestone BT-021s for the suzuki and a spare set for the FZ1.

301201 Bridgestone BT021 120/70ZR-17 2 $109.95 $219.90
301214 Bridgestone BT021 180/55ZR-17 1 $133.95 $133.95

The Diablos are a great price but I have to weigh in the cost of tire changes. I would think I would be changing the diablos more often. I get about 6 to 7K out of the stones.

jwhelan65,

I have the same front suspension that you have but my wheel looks different. The spokes that I have on my wheels are what you would say "spinning or directional" but I see that yours are straight. What year wheels are you using?

Peace!,

Supavert,

Both wheels are from a 98 Bandit 1200, I mounted the GSXR rotors to the front, the Bandit rotors have a different pitch and will not work with the GSXR calipers.

jwhelan65,

What size is the bandit rear wheel?

[Supavert]

I'm sorry I ment to ask how wide is the rear wheel? and what year?

Thanks,
Supavert

98 Bandit rear wheel ...pretty certain its a 6 1/2 inch

Gauge mount

I finally worked out a temporarily mock up for the gauge and ignition mount. Used 1/8 inch stock alluminum along with some factory mounting hardware that came with the top triple. The bracket is simply a mock up but seems pretty secure. Have not installed the rubber bushings or second set mounting screws on the under side of the triple.

[jwhelan65]

A few more pics...just a mock up until I can permanently set them. Decided against the machine work to save some green.

Very nice!!!

Looks great! You have mentioned that these are 1983 gauges (16-inch front wheel I believe), and you are using a front 98 Bandit wheel (17 inches). Will the speedo be fairly precise? Just wondering ...
Thanks!

Thanks Quex, pretty certain the speedo will be off...not sure how much though.

If possible, please let me know the speedo differences, if any.
