To remove the old one I ground off the pin heads then pushed them out using the tool

there is no need to use the rivet pusher if you grind the old tops off. all you do is use a screwdriver to pry the plate off

Oh yeah, I didn't think of that lol

Have finally got everything I need for my bar conversion (except the time to do it now )



New brake hoses, throttle cables, bar grips

Wasn't sure if I was going to need clutch or choke cables though

nice one.


according to mr suzuki they are different part numbers and from experience i would presume so.


you can get away with cutting the ends of the bars to get the standard naked cables on but IIR you cant use/do it with the sport ones.


Renthal bars are very wide.

Yes they do seem particularly wide and I vaguely remember cutting some renthal bars that I fitted on a naked many years ago.

I've got brake hoses and throttle cables from a naked and just ordered some naked clutch and choke cables.

The top yoke is lovely, can't beat a bit of cnc machining

Not a lot, after finally ordering new tyres for the GSXR, and waiting a week for the rear to arrive. I set about to swap them over. I quickly realised that I'm a numpty.
It's the first time spannering on the GSXR, and I don't own a 24mm hex key to undo the front, or have a 36mm socket for the rear. Bugger.

Amazon should deliver then Monday.

I did however dust the cobwebs off my long forgotten Cube road bike.

Been meaning to post this, more for riders with new bikes as there’s been a few lately but probably give you an idea for how much to cut for shoulder width.
His accent sort of grates me as a bit false, I’m sure he’s British or something originally but mostly good advice anyhoo

he has been at the game for a loooong time and his knowledge of suspension tuning is superb (2 clicks out). he is a bit vague at giving the absolute information but if your clever enough you can work things out.

Yeah I found him
Useful a couple of years ago with his tyre wear advice . He reads tyre ripples and snotters like a mystic with tea leaves .
He used to do paid for videos but looks like he’s made a lot of it free lately as the self promotion probably makes him more money these days
