Gitzy's GSXR

[Gitzy]

Lol nope not gonna snap anytime soon, def better in ally buuut since I can't really see it to appreciate it and front end weight isn't an issue for my lady like riding skills this'll do.

So I got home yesterday and it fit a treat but the flat position of the actual headlight plate maxed out the adjustment for the headlight so it was too high up so time for mark II bracket, just had to angle the plate down 38 degrees and voila.. took the opportunity to make it a bit better shape too cos why not..

Mrk2 much cooler

[BANDITROD]

if it was me I would try to hide the bracket a lot better instead of it being square try making it v shaped to still make it ti the bolt holes if that makes sense then it would be hidden

[Gitzy]

Look up a post or two Rodney ^^^

New one fits a treat, obviously needs paint.. etc..

[BANDITROD]

oh coolI didn't see that pic hahaha

Mk3 would be to have the light mounting plate adjustable with bolts, unless you reckon you have nailed it for angle first go?

Oh, and also, (I'm sure you have this covered) beware of solid mounting. Vibration will rattle globes and other things apart, not to mention the vibration noises. I have learnt that the hard way over the years. A bit of rubber should save the day.

Not a truer word spoken......

I hate it when everyone can hear my vibrator noises.
I mean, vibration noises.

Looking good Gitzy.

You keeping the tail ??? Would you like a single seat full carbon one ??? I have one on my K2, but am looking for a pillion one so I can throw my lady on the back. I'll do a trade

Cheers, Jed

Looking good gitzy

[Gitzy]

Indeed rubber will be involved Si :-)

Nah keeping then seat Jed soz.

Made some little indicator brackets to fit the headlight..

[Gitzy]

Purchased some MAB's from bunnings, MAKE A BRACKETS never heard of em but pretty handy if you want to shape something..

The gauge bracket will have to wait this one will do for now for NFR.



I will however make a new exhaust bracket this one is just temporary.

[Gitzy]

Also the ol water bottle trick worked for 6 years on the R1 so I thought it will do the trick again here..

[Gix11]

err...... Do you think that those exhaust hanging brackets will late more than a couple of K's mate?

[wackyrider]

I'll second that...

They're not gonna do much. Bit of vibration and I reckon they're gone

Peoples peoples read between the piccies..

This'll hold I reckon.

[Gitzy]

Hang on I see my error in my own quote, I meant template not temporary..

[hooligan]

i use them on my bike for heaps of stuff. Usually for things that don't weigh much though.
I have the pre made right angle pieces as part of my bracket for my oil cooler, has been fine for maybe 5-10 000ks.
depends which way the load is being distributed.
Gitzy's template exhaust hangers brackets aren't definitely better than mundy's balsa wood dog bones.

[Gix11]

Template makes more sense! I thought you meant temporary just for this ride and you'll sort it after NFR. What surprised me more was that it was on YOUR bike! Engineer par excellence doing this!?
