So Ive hit a bit of a stopper on the new wheels. Spoke to Ben the other day about it and he gave me some good ideas. Ive also thought about fitting up an 07 GSXR rear swingarm to see if I can upgrade both ends. Soon as it lands I'll have more details.
Studied the service manuals on both bikes to see what I could come up with. I'll lets you's know soon enough.
I will be taking pictures when I start to pull this thing down and attach and make new parts.
Sounds good Lukey! U got a sweet deal on those wheels hey!
Yeah mate, $1799 wasnt bad I thought. Just have to get the rear to fit!Quote:

We may need to start talking about the parts you are swapping out I have a frame in need of everything so I maybe able to help with a shed clean up at some stage :D :cool::eek:
Cheers mate, but the next batch of mods should make this thing look and ride even better then now!Quote:

Im likeing this next stage of youe build mate, the new forks and clamps with the wheels are going to look porno
$1800 sounds pretty bloody cheap. can't wait to see it all together.
Been off to visit Ben today, dropped off my old triples for him to remove the steering stem.
Anyhoo, before I did that, I snuck the 2007 forks up in my old triple and put the new wheel on.

Also after removing the front end, I took off the frame stay lugs, they wont be needed anymore!

Got some S3 discs for the new front wheel, waiting on stainless bolts to attached them still.
Once I get the triples and have it all set up, I'll move onto the rear wheel and new swingarm.
Ooohhh looking good mate I'm hanging to get my wheels for the bandit should almost be here I reckon
Anyone looking at a pair of wheels, this is where I got mine from http://www.ebay.com.au/sch/wemrosept....c0.m270.l1313
They sell mainly Harley parts, but for some strange reason have a heap of wheels in for sports bikes.
Fuck that's cheap
looking awesome luke and christ thats cheap as chips for rims
Cheers Kev, but wait till you guys see what Ben has for me! I got an email with the design I wanted and he is a master of creations! Im so looking forward to showing you all! New pic's will be up soon!!! Also got a pro-bolt delivery today, so the new disc's will soon be attached to the wheels.Quote:
