ok so ive obtained a set of gt1241 turbos of a vw parrati but have to wait yet again from the good ol usa.
ok so ive fitted the redone top clamp with new risors and fat bar convertion in the following pics it is easy to see the difference in angle ,my wrists were killing me before.

ok so here are the gixer1300 fork fitting kit from sam from the TLPLANET!
in GITZYS blog he has an step by step procedure for fitting this kit
in sams kit is
2 x brake disc rotor spacers
4 x radial calliper mount bolts
4 x radial calliper mount spacers to space the callipers out from lower forks to clear the rotors
1 x axle spacer
top work as per norm albi ill be keeping a eye on this build
i remember thinking "fuck this comfy" when i rode ur TL albi
your right to go less angle on the bars, before it was like riding one of those kids pushies from the 70's
ok so under my top yoke is a fair bit o room and it looks soooo ugly
so ive found some alloy stock and poped over to GITZYS home and had a look at his stem seal from vandriver.
and decided I can make a better one for my application.

nice one albi, as a bonus it should also help prevent wheelies :)
ok today I finished of the seat pan so I can take to my mate big kev to do the rest of seat , I used the seat mount rubbers from my stock seat and fitted the side section that wraps around the tank to centralise it and also used the lock pin aswell , I then used 5mm rubber to trim the edges with so when the kangaroo hide goes on it wont rub on the edge of the fibre glass , I used wurth super glue.

yesterday I made my second version of the top stem seal as the first was made to suit slipping over the two top nuts , but it left a gap at the back of the top clamp and I didn't like it so I re done it with a smaller hole for just the top section of stem to poke through.
and yes im still not happy , when I get some more stock ill get a solid bar and not a block with a hole already drilled out hehe ,so you guessed it make a third one bit it will have the nut incorporated in it , so I will have the stem then the brg then washer then first adjusting nut and the washer ,then I will just screew the top stem seal down onto the adjusting nut and its all in one if you get what I meen

ours is from china or somewhere in asia , not bad for what we paid but if I had my time again I would have gone aussie made and handed over more mulla.
either way well worth it ,
opps sorry forgot link

we got "the rock" longer done but simular to the bushland.
Love them wheels mate
Apart from the the Carro's being sexy, the deep blue looks a hell of a lot better than the baby blue of the old wheels. Really nice.
Nice one mate, you wont regret getting the Caros
cheers boys about the wheels .
the darker blue is soooo much better.
Looking good Albi nice additions

at first I was WTF am I going to do here ? the ign uses a 100 ohm resistor here in aust as it doent use an alarm so the ECU needs to see 100ohm resistance before it switchs on !
went to JAYCAR and bought some resistors .45 cents for 5 ??
used a rocker switch that is water proof wired up bike ,and presto hidden switch "well not realy hidden is it!"

as it is plain to see I decided to redo paint ,it was soooooo wrong to remove pinstripe work but !!
all will be revealed later .
I had big surprise tho ,had the tank bead blasted and a huge repair was on the right ,so out came tools to smooth out tank and had to use bog "bondo" to smooth it out.
