Thanks Ben! I couldn't resist and threw the tank, seat and tail on it. NOW it looks like half a bike :laugh:

I just have to have one of these!!!
with the tank and seat on it I can see the finished bike in my head....epic!

If you could just score a fork next week then you might meet my challenge.

Damn you Josh! Still thowing down the guantlet I see. Hey Ben, what model years GSXR forks do your top clamps fit, and how long are those forks?

You cannot acheive your best effort without outside motivation!

they fit gix 1000 from 03 -07...Im sure other ones as well....but wait if ya can....get a set of forks....but Im working on a set of drop top clamps.....with 1" more offset than the stock gix triples....
should be able to achieve stock ride height(if you want)....and steering radius should be the same as stock as well...or very close.
they will still have the headlight bracket built in and stock z1 guages will bolt up....just need to do something about the speedo cable....with the gix wheel

OK Ben, I can wait. I'll likely run an aftermarket speedo/tach setup anyhow. I like everything you said you're gonna do with your new triple design :woohoo:

SWEET!!:woohoo:
The wheel looks to be right in the center below the tail, but offset at the frame. No one will notice .I had to offset mine the other way to try to align it with the front wheel(which seems to be out of whack?)
The 94-97 zx9 forks are the longest out there.(that i know of)97 have triple pots, the rest have dual pots.
Now u just need a matching front rim.
I'll keep an eye out on ebay for u.
Great job.

Thanks Mark! I suppose I'm overly critical when looking at my own work. I'll check it with a plumb bob, but I still think the wheel is offset to the right. Maybe not alot, but not on center. Its not enough to make it handle funny, and like you and Josh said, there aren't that many people who'll notice from an asthetic point of view. But yeah, it does look effing sick! :woohoo: :woohoo:

Ahhh, nothing like a little levity to lighten the mind after some intense focusing/fabrication/crying newborn
