I'd rather read about Triumphs than Gay Marriage....

Wicked cool build.......thanks for sharing, and please keep it up ;-)

Got another heads-up from a gentleman on the Triumph forum.
He said to use the '06-up GSXR 750 fender rather than the Hyabusa one as it looks cleaner and only requires a little mounting tab added to one of three mounting points on both sides of the fender.
Of the over 200 on Ebay for sale, I found one with a tiny scratch for $21 delivered!
It is supposed to arrive before the end of the month.

I'd rather read about Triumphs than Gay Marriage....

I'm struggling to find a difference between gay marriage and Hinckley Triumphs....

They stopped making real Trumpets when they packed in at Meriden (though some purists might say they stopped in '51).

And fair does to Les Harris for keeping things going.

Received a '07 GSXR750 fender today to add to the mock-up situation.
I still need to get the correct length bolts for this and that including the calipers.
I need to cut part of the Hayabusa fender mounts and make adapters for the fender.
I got the wheel spacer situation under control and test fit the parts.
The axle and spacers are just in for these pic's.

That shouldn't be too hard to take care of, and it looks like it belongs there!

[JimmyR]

Wow. I love it when a plan comes together. I also love it when you find out that stuff from different manufacturers fits together. Cool!

[7981GS]

I got the replacement oil cooler to replace the stock broken one.
It is from a 600(?) Katana. It is exactly the same width as the radiator and should hold about another half quart of oil.



I also started on the top tree handlebar mounts.
Instead of cutting the lower mounts from a GS top tree and drilling/mounting them through the TL top tree,
I am toying with cutting the clip on mounts from the old Triumph top tree and drilling/mounting them to the TL part.
I gain about a 3/4" riser and can adjust the bars to fit me.
I am also thinking of using the GS front motor mount rubbers as caps for the pre-load/dampening adjustments from the Busa forks.

TL top.



Old Triumph top.



Cutting these ears off of the Triumph part.





Mounting something like this...

Today, the 2006 GSXR 600/750 front fender showed up.
I am going to use it instead of the 2004-5 GSXR 600/750 front fender.
As you can see in this pic, the top (2006) has a shorter bill and includes little lower winglets that wrap around the fork lowers.
I think the '06 fender looks much better myself.




Opinions?

Hard to say Eric, although I think you're right... a mock up would help

[7981GS]

Let the destruction begin!

Started with this...





In order for the '06 GSXR 750 fender to fit, the lower front fork mount needs to fall in line with the top.
Everything to the left of the white line on the left leg has to go! And vise a versa on the left leg.









This ridge on the rear mount on the fender has to be trimmed.





Continued...

[7981GS]

I will be making an aluminum strap fit mounted to the forks that will be drilled/tapped
to meet the mounting holes on the leading edge of the plastic fender.








More later.
