Ya I'm pretty excited. I read a lot of bike magazines, and look at other builds and I haven't combination of vintage race, fi, and modern wheels/suspension other than the occasional Japanese builds you find on the Internet that are not in English. . I'm still a little unsure I made the right choice on going modern but I'm sure after driving it I will happy I went that way.

First package came in. Front and rear brakes w/mounting hardware, masters and reservoirs, full clip ons, rear sets, forks and associated hardware, front axle, horn, steering stabilizer (can I mount that?).

Wow, this will be very sweet. Congrats on the find. Les's stuff is the schiznitz and Leon's frame brace kits are great. Using them both on my build. Good luck, I am sure you'll find all the help you need on here....especially to spend your money!!

Thanks man.

More stuff came in. Works performance shocks 07 R1 swingarm w/axles and 09 R1 front fender. All I need now is the wheels. They should be here anytime. Then I need a weekend to start it all.

how wide is the pivot of your r1 swingarm?
i am doing an r6 swingarm conversion right now for chonus and i had to mill .3515 off of each side to get it narrow enough to fit it into a kz 1000,plus bore the bearing bore out deeper to move the bearings in to narrow it.

25.9cm outside to outside exactly. What was yours? Also the R1 pivot axle seems a lot wider than the the kz pivot whole, but I haven't pulled the KZ one yet. Did you have to modify the axle? Does it look the same as the one in my pic?

P.S. To anyone I'm looking for a front fairing that will match the bimota kit.

Didn't know they made this.. but it's so sexy.

Here it is without the fairing.



No viper fairing. (I think it is ass).

I was thinking of this one.

Yeah they were always ahead of their time when it came to chassis work,they were the 1st builder I ever saw use the engine as stressed member of frame back in late 70s early 80s

What about the Yamaha TR-1s? It's one of the reasons why I'm building one, that and its fun to have a v-twin that inst a Harley.

I was referring to the inline 4s,all those other motor styles don't count! :woohoo:
