    RVG front wheel into 86 gixxer

    today i put the front end into the 86 drag bike that i'm building and decided to go to an 17" front rim to match the rear ( 03 gixxer swinger complete with 200 rear tyre )

    i didn't want to mod either the forks, the wheel, disks etc sooooooo

    i sat down and have drawen up a set of drawings that will be needed to fit the rgv rim ito the gixxer forks, without modding anithing i now have to make a new spindle ( axil ) new spacers to keep it central ( no speedo drive needed) and a spacer/adapter plate to fit the single six pot caliper.

    when i get a chance to do up a proper set of dragings i'll post them to gix and if he thinks that they are worth while i'll get him to put them into the how to section

    with a late start and not every thing going according to plan this arvo i got to th work shop late this arvo, and more bad luck ( no tips left for the lath the apprentice had broken the last one after lunch ) so of to the tool shop tomorrow to get some new ones.

    any way i got the adaptor bracket for the six pot caliper done in the short time that i had befor bruce closed the shop and it looks good mounted onto the forkes. ( the same bracket will do both sides if that is what you wanted ) i am going with only one as it is a drag bike and dont need the other side to much weight and drag on the disk ( brakes only slow you down LOL ) and since i weigh 110kgs i need to get the bike as light as possible.

    its been oe of those days, nothing going in my favor

    went over to machine shop and got another job to do befor my own and spent 3/4hour getting it set up when it should have been 5 minuts eventually got that done and did the new shaft only to realise that i'd made a mistake in the drawing when i was nearly finised, to late to fix it so tomorrow i'll have to get a new piece of steel and start again
    better luck for me tommorrow.

    I can see how you get the spacing right for the diameter of the disks...but how hard is it to get the sideways (width?) spacing right and how close do you have to be?
