Default Re: GSX-R Front end conversion

Looking good, what you doing with the back wheel are you getting it colour matched to the front one ?

And just noticed where your bike came from, same place my GSXR and Liz's Duke did.

That undertray looks so sexy
Makes my hamicad look pants.
Where did you get it? Did the number plate hanger and light come with it?


Oh and what clip-ons did you use in the end? Do they fit ok?

I already have a K5 SV rear wheel, just gotta get a new set of tyres then put it on.

The girl I bought it from got it from there I think.

The undertray is a Pyramid that I picked up for something like £25, brand new on eBay! The bracket is a Dr Bike bracket from J&S £7 or £8 I think and the led rear light was £3 off eBay (it needs to be adjusted a little so that it lights the plate better and so that no light is emitted backwards.).

The clip-ons were TL1000S, I just need to put a thread through the locator bolt holes or perhaps in the top yoke so that they spin around the forks under heavy braking!

She does a little but she knows it's for a good cause, besides, now she'll be able to nag me when we go out for a ride together cuz of the Autocom. Normal service will be resumed shortly, only got a bit of tidying up to do, oh, and a GSX-R 1000 K5 shock swap (it's sat here in my house just screaming to be fitted!!).

Seem to remember it being a pyramid one but doesn't look like the one on their website. The one they show looks like an ermax one so guess it's an older design. It came second hand, although ot had never been fitted and it was already the right colour!

I'm not sure where I'm gonna put the connector yet. I need to see what feels comfortable first as well as putting it somewhere that it can't be seen!

My autocom instalation:

Rider- in front ,under the seat with more or less 20cm cord(the connector usualy stay at the height the waist), so no nuts/balls problem there..
passenger: just under the seat near the lock
