Project 700ES ( Revisited )

[jwhelan65]

Rear 1150 stopper mounted and spaced

[jwhelan65]

Now its starting to look familiar again...

[jwhelan65]

The 1150 running gear should give it a whole new stance as well as improve the much needed handling and suspension.

The 1150 Suspension swap is complete, just need to button a few things up, bleed the brakes and she will be done.

Appreciate the offer......but I would have to get a new chain, new front sprocket, take the rear wheel off, and so on......

I will just live out my lust through your pictures......

Maybe one day,,,,on a cold and stormy winter night, I will pull it all apart....but I will have to do it one day, I still have the original parts on the bike.....

ES pegs are already pretty far back Joe. You going to ride this thing right, not just look at it?

Oh, looking awesome!

LOL..this is probably my favorite bike to ride around town. My only gripe has been the suspension which I never really addressed in the initial restore. Now with the Hagon Mono over the 3.5" rear and the 1150 front 2.75 with new springs and emulators it should be an absolute blast!

[jwhelan65]

The swap is complete

FRONT

1150 front 2.75" wheel, 700 rotors and calipers ( New rubber )
1150 triples with 700 forks mounted / gauges a direct swap to the 1150

New Sonic springs matched with Race Tech gold valve emulators
New Core Moto braided lines w/ ano blue banjos
1150 top clamp cover

Rear

1150 rear 3.5" wheel w/ new rubber
1150 rear caliper
New Core Moto braided lines w/ ano blue banjos
