very odd gsxr 88 fuel tank question

[dingo]

hi guys , heres a question you dont hear everyday, gunna KREEM the inside of my tank, filled it up with a heap of nice shiny nuts , bolts and screws to lift some of the crap off the inside , tipped em all out bar 1 screw, its stuck up the top breather bit,lol , has anyone cut a tank open and can tell me where the hole is so i can get it out? been trying to get it out for bout 3 hours now and my arms are bout to drop off.

[Docktor]

thought the top breather screwed out ?. cant ya do that and poke a stick/wire/magnet in their and annoy it til it comes out ?.
did ya count em as ya put the bolts n stuff in ?. i wouldna thought of counting em, ......... doh

[dingo]

way too many to count ,haha , i just poured shitloads in. i already have the breather out, doesnt even seem to be getting to there, its like there is an 'S' bend or something in there, feel like a kid trying to get the last coin out of the piggy to go get a lollie

[dingo]

feel like arnie but its out now, was just at the end of my patience and had to ask. had so many questions latly i should just start a build thread O_o . i wont start a new topic but if anyone reads this will my '88 front wheel/brakes fit on a '91 USD frontend?

tie em all to a string like a necklace in future.

was gunna rope a chain but i figered it wouldnt get into the corners, knowing my luck it would have turned into one massive knot inside the tank even though the rope is spose to prevent that.

Yer .... You will need the axle and spacers from the USD front end tho.....

[dingo]

thanks latheboy, i had done a lot of searching and reading lastnight to try and find out , found lots of different combo's
but none to suit what i needed. i can get the axle and spacers, i take it the bearings are the same size and will my speedo assy. fit?

will let you all know ralph, seems to be good so far, it came up quite nice after the acid stuff considering the amount of rust and size of the tank, swirling the liner round now , seems to be thinner than i thought and is hard to coat the sharper edges, see how it goes anyway.:)

Need the axle from the USD F/E but wheel, R/H spacer and speedo drive from the 88 swap straight in.

Did you get the clip-ons and front guard as well as you will need them.

Any of the hydraulic shops around Mackay should be able to rechrome them.

Have a look at the manual and strip them down. When you have the lower leg out, remove the small grub screw from the inside face in the bottom alloy section of the lower fork leg. Clamp the leg into a vise by the bottom alloy section and warm around the point where the chrome tube goes into the alloy bottom with a heat gun. Get it hot enough do break the loctite free. Then, use a strap wrench or similar and screw the chrome tube out. Do the same to the other. If you can't do it, the hydraulic shop might be able to do it just tell them about the grub screw and loctite. Hope this helps ya.

Hi OZ, dunno bout the front guard , may try and sort something else out there, and i got some dirt squirter fat bars and risers, once i get more of an idea where it is that im heading i will definatly use your advise. talked to a few people here and they dont seem to do it for the public anymore, may just be talking to the wrong people too, i will keep searching, still a while off for that yet.
