a little sneak preview of the front end

[crazymofo]

i havent had a chance to do a single thing to the kat for the past few months, due to work soaking up 65hrs a week of my time grrrr... this arvo, i had a little spare time, so i got to trial-fitting of the front end im wanting to run on the ol kat.


details are,

92 GSXR forks and tripples, and front wheel

96 RGV250 brakes, now fitted with some EBC pads.

Billet machined tripple clamp to handle bar clamps.

7/8 low rise titanium motorcross style bars.

some universal bar ends (not pictured and WAAAAY to light!)


next on the list, is a S/S briaded 2 line kit, and a brake resivior cover, some new leavers, and modifying the standard zook bar end weights to fit up the the bars,

**and extended throttle/clutch cables (got any suggestions??!!!!!!)

anyways.. pics.. enjoy.









PS. im due for some leave from work shortly... i'll have more for yas soon!

cheers.joe.

That's lookin' good, but that front tire has a bit too flat of a profile for my taste!

Looking good. When can we see it done?

Cool project. I'm not sure I'd trust the brakes from a bike as light as the RGV250 to stop something with a Katana frame & engine, even with the EBC pads.

Good Luck!

hey cyber,

the rgv250 has the very same calipers as fitted to the 92 model gsxr.

the rotors on my set up are still the katana ones, but i have intentions to fit up some wave rotors all round.


rotary, i should a fair bit more done by the end of august... im working too much till then, and thats when my leave starts haha!.

its a slooow process but it is a full house build after all, and besides i dont get my licence back till NOVEMBER!! so i can afford to bludge a bit :P

cheers.joe.
