Project 1100 Bandit/Gsxr conv

He's right, the wiper grooves are the give away. You got right on the left and left on the right. If you look closely you'll see ON L and ON R stamped into the discs. The stamping is around one of the slide pins that attaches the disc to the carrier.

ahh thanks Billy..

It's an easy mistake to make. I had to look very close to find the markings when I had the GSXR rotors on my bike.

I love the champaign bodywork!

[Macguyver]

Shwing!!!!

Wow.


Your build looks amazingly clean, and it looks fast just standing still!
I am really diggin' the new stance. Very nice job.
Did I mention it looks fast!

Stellar work man, just incredible.

Looks fantastic. Stock but still hotrodded.

Can't wait to get some paint on my bike so I can start seeing the whole picture.

Cleaned up all the frame mounts for the engine, thinkin on polish and clear. Yeah I know, a bit anal but hey.. its apart and I am waiting on parts.

Ya see folks, it is a sickness.

In many cases, it starts with powder coating the frame.

Then as time persists, no bolt is clean enough, and waiting on parts becomes the norm.










Electroplating has become my best friend.

That's when I observed I had a problem...




Looks good Joe.

They have these on ebays for less, just wait for it to get close to time out and bid. $70 to $75 shipped. It has already been real handy on obsolete parts to say the least.

But, if you want to get dangerous....

All sorts of interesting toys here.

Looking GREAT, Joe!!

I need to get cracking on mine....a new (to me) truck purchase, and prepping for a trip to Labrador/Newfoundland have put the GS ont he back burner. BUT, now that the trip got scrubbed, I need to get cracking!
