I made some half shims for the top yoke. Too be honest I'm not to sure.

That looks awesome rod but I'm not sold on the shims idea I wouldn't ride it like that and I can be dodgy as fuck sometimes
Cheers Rod, yeah I made them from alloy and they seem to have bitten in ok..... but I know what you are saying
That looks wicked Rod, Just with the shims, there has been heaps of blokes swap out the front of there TL and shim the bottom yoke as they are 55mm, and people usually go with GSXR front ends which are 54mm or even 53mm with some really new ones, and they never have any dramas..
Looks great, paint and wheels looks sweet with it all together
And how do you go with your plate not being at the back any additon attention from the nanny state enforcers
Righto then how about using coke cans ....years ago I used to use them on my gokart to make the car by fit the barrel properly ...just cut into strips and fit at least that way you can go all the way roundQuote:

Looks real good Rod.
The wheels and forks really set it off.
Rod the bike looks great with the new forks and wheels mate, but yeah them shims arnt safe at all only being half. I wouldnt trust them.
Lookin most awesome brother! U still usin the same headlight???
I've got a different headlight mate.
After sleeping on it, I've decided to shave more off the shims in attempt to fit both sides in.
YaY on both accounts there! :DQuote:

Looks great Rod!
... would look awesome with a billet top.. would also solve the shim issue.
Good stuff mate ...you have come this far with it so you may aswell finish it off properly I reckon ...btw those wheels are pure pornQuote:

As Rod said mate, don't leave the shims as they are. Just get a thinner material to use and do it evenly all round
Ahh half shims.. I didnt read that bit.. yeah go wrap round Rod.. heaps better..
The way you've got them now would be trying to twist the forks I reckon.Quote:

looking good rod
definitely all-the-way-round shims
i've got half mm (i think) ally ones on the TL and have done thousands of k's riding like a pussie with those on
that said i dont think i would shim top and bottom yoke, but just one would be fine
hmmmmmm Shims........................
Looks good man. You gonna anodise the forks a difernt colour?
Not yet mate, the plan is to get it back on the road for some riding, then after NFR strip her down one last time for a complete facelift including a little powdercoating and some anodising.
