Band/Gixer Conversion (week 2)

[jwhelan65]

jwhelan65, Your bikes are LUSH.
Your 1100e was one of my inspirations early on. Have you had a chance to ride it yet with any of your changes?
I am noticing how incredibly easy it is to roll mine around on the radials now, I have a small lip, an inch or so high, going into my shop. Rolling my bike in before usually involved rocking it back and forth to get over this lip if I didn't have the momentum. Now it rolls over it like it isn't even there.
Anywho, I think it will be great to see you wrap up the 1100. Your attention to detail is phenomenal.
Cheers, Erick

Thanks man

Have not had a chance to ride it yet but it does tractor around the garage much easier, much like a new bike. I am hoping to have it on the road by spring.

Joe,

The TL1000R rear brake line on my Bandit swingarm is made by Goodridge.

It's between 27"-28". Like I said in my PM its a little long so maybe 26" would be perfect but measure your two lines up and decide.

Is that with the GSXR master or a bandit? does it matter?

I don't think I ever had a Bandit master so it was either a GSXR or a ZX12R or a hybrid. I'll have to shoot a pic an post it for you. I had at least three different masters at the time (not including the wife) so its hard to remember now.

LOL! I wasn't thinking I am using the ZX12R its mounted to the rearset.

Joe, Here is the master cylinder I'm using. On one iteration of brake set ups I revised the 90 degree elbo that receives the fluid from the reservoir, just can't remember if its this one. If this is what yours looks like then its a stock ZX12R master.
