[FIGHTERMC]

[br

This is griffs blade project
929 blade frontend,05 r1 race tail
harris rearsets and much more
also single sider ready to go on and new headlight fairing
and then a spray job.
pic aint great cos its from my phone.

Cool.....the colosus of an endcan unbalances the bike IMO

[FIGHTERMC]

Your right jim
and when the sssa is on he is going to go for an underseat
or under the engine system.
also the swinger is a little longer so it should line up
with the back of the tail.griff is about 6ft4 and he needs
a big seat or he can't ride it.

And i thought it was just your quality photographic skill at choppin the heads off in pictures. He should be called HI-TOWER not Griff

thanks exile,i wish i could shrink in the wash,but im just too big...lol

thanks for the photo fra,i will update as soon as i put on the sssa ,underseat pipe and nose fairing.....

Nice one Griff. Keep us updated mate.

I know what ya on about fella, im 6.2" and swamped my old Blade. What single are you going for coz these normally reduce not increase the wheelbase, are you going for a 3 spoke rear ??

[FIGHTERMC]

This is the wheel he is going run exile
and its a vrf750 arm he is using,thought they were longer that the standard blade swinger?

[exile]

Me likes that wheel alot car wheel aint it ??? The VFR arm does look longer than the Blade, i know when they're fitted into Gixers n Bandits it reduces the wheelbase shitloads and has a tendancy for prolonging the front wheel tread

[catchmeifyoucan]

really like the wheel you got there MC, looks horn... griffs bike will look sweet once it's painted...

[Gix11]

What's he going to match that wheel with on the front? I really liked that wheel as well but couldn't think for the life of me what would match it at the front nicely.

Another 04-06 R1 arse end.... damn, they are gonna be everywhere soon (mine, griffs and... )

hi gix11,i will keep the 929 front wheel,but i will powdercoat it chrome

[damo1]

That wheel is the fuckin shit mate i would have loved one like that when i was lookin very tasty.[]

Right whats the deal with the 929 front [?]bolt straight in job[?]

Exile whats the deal with every body thinkin that the sssa changes the wheel base its exactly the same if you use a 00mod on 800 arm( it is anyway) and i know this because i was worried that it was going to be longer and me and Exben measured it and its exactly the same from center of swing arm bolt to center of the rear wheel.

[FIGHTERMC]

Damo the 929 is a straight bolt on mate

hi damo,ya the 929 bolts straight in,but if you get one,don't use the tapered bearings,makes the bike turn too quick,use the origional head stock bearings.much better than the std forks

[shift1313]

the orig headstock bearings arent tapered? i dont think ive ever seen a headset bearing that wasnt tapered, odd.

What are the specs on that wheel? I'm in the process of a single sided conversion on my blade and I'm still looking for the right wheel. I'm told a 17 x 7 rim with 38mm to 40mm offset and a 25mm spacer will do the trick.

The 929 front end is sweet, too bad I just spent a bunch of money to rebuild and respring my convertional forks.. Oh well, my LSL top clamp will still look good and the Race Tech springs should help up front too.

If you're using a Honda swingarm (VFR) look at wheels that will fit a Honda car as they are the same stud pattern.

[damo1]

Its not just honda cars(sorry Si) its any wheel that has a stud pattern of

4x100mm stud centers
