Stu Pidasole's Build

here is the donor bike my parts came off of...

Joe, don't you have a late model ZX swingarm and wheel?

The reason I ask is that you are buying the cush drive and rear brake hardware from the GSXR....and you have a ZX wheel and swingarm. I forsee a high probablility of part incompatability on the rear. Unless of course you already researched it and eveything will bolt up without a hitch. Otherwise, you may want to renegotiate your purchase to not include those rear end parts.....just in case.

sneeky basterd...switching the videos after I posted....that just makes me look like the idiot I am..... :laugh:

you scared me adam.....video has been edited...phew!!!

heres my forks.....kinda tells ya what kind of shape all the parts comming to me look like.

just sent $ to PA for parts. hopefully ill get em right after the new year.

well today i made room for the spacers that go in the swingarm and ride in between the arm and the frame....

now i just need a sleeve made for my kz bolt, and a longer bolt so i can snug it up................

figured i would throw the tree up here before i tear it down....

Joe i will place a few links here in regards to our conversation


here is the members profile that may know a machinist for the items ...he also has a killer build and you will wanna read it from front to back...the theory behind each mod is strong imo...finished product he has on the little items is where it's at...i cant find his build thread in name but will try more..Adam may know the L.A folks too

i will put a few links here for you to check....

and another...Dutch if you see me linking your stuff ,hope you dont mind,your build came to mind as Joe asked me some questions today on the phone..i have not done any conversions and only retain ideas ,so could only parrot answers....i thought yours and few others build could better steer him towards some answers..he said he had not seen those threads so i am pasting some members stuff into his thread to help him get ideas and solutions

Joe,

Here's a pic of the handlebar risers

Keep up the good work Joe! Very cool!

Not to hi-jack but Larry, where did you get the risers from? Those look sweet, are those machined into the upper tree?
