Nothing major to report, other then I removed my rear set mounts (I just didn't like them) and I redid the mount welds again as I didn't like it either.. lol I have a new game plan on those, will update later on that..

I did add a new tool to the garage.... Was holding out for a Handy Airlift I got my eye on, but for $200 bucks I couldn't pass it up. Will certainly help out finishing this project.

I had considered ZX10 forks at one point, but decided against them due to the ride hight. I'll be curious how low your bike sits with those forks once the engine is back in :woohoo: Looks pretty nice so far! Hows the engine coming along?

Ok, Ok... before we got to far ahead of ourselves here, there are some positives and negatives to this piece!

Positives: Nice machine work, well optioned, will help pick up some height in the front, etc.. Overall, very nice piece.

Negatives: It doesn't fit my bike!!! LOL

It was actually built to accommodate GSXR front end, so the fork spacing is about 1mm off on both sides and the stem is about 2~3mm off.

I got it to test it out and see if I could get it to work and I probably could but it would require some machining.

My options are return it, keep it for the next project or perhaps sell it to someone who is running GSXR front forks.. hmmmm

So I can't take credit for this nice piece of work.. :)

Absolutely take credit! LOL. If I didn't already have some custom triples, I'd be all over it! What year/model forks is it machined to fit? I bet there is someone on this forum that will snap it up in a second if you can't use it ;)

I have a spare set of OEM triples from my '06 GSXR 1K forks (if that top clamp will fit) that I don't need. You'd just need some gixxer forks :)
