OK lads & lasses, because my 7/9 is a single seater, the Doris (Helen) needs a bike to ride to the WSBK @ the Island in a months time, she needs something that goes like a stoned snail & steers like a soggy sponge so I'm throwing a GSXR 1100 together for her (GSXRs ARE girls bikes after all)
It'll be a tightarse 3WF (3 Week Fighter) build, I can only afford a couple of hours a night to work on it & I'll be using whatever parts I can find hanging around the workshop so I don't have to put my hand in my pocket too much.
There are a few misc Gix bits & bobs I'll need along the way & I know lots of ASFers (Shano, Deano, Gibbo, Latheboyo, Oldskoolo, Kevkatanao, etc) have stuff left over from their builds so I'll be asking here first.
First item on the agenda is wheel spacers - I'll be using an SRAD/TL/Busa 6" rear wheel & I need the spacer that goes between the sprocket carrier & the drive side wheel bearing & the spacer that goes between the caliper hanger & the brake side bearing.
Alternatively, if anyone has these spacers but wants to hold onto them, If you can give me the dimensions I'll spin them up on the lathe at work.
I'll also be looking for a 750 swingarm in the near future (not urgent), If I remember correctly the 750 item is heaps shorter than the 11 job so it'll make it a bit more nimble & therefore easier for the girly to handle. The swinger I'd want is not the box ended one, it's the later type that has the cutouts where the wheel adjusters sit.
Stay tuned for more 'wanted' posts as I start assembling the thing.
