The new wheels have arrived! And they are lighter than the EPM's Looking good! I'm very anxious to see these on your bike. Are these 87 GSXR1100 wheels or EFE wheels? Thanks!

Those are GSXR1100 wheels, don't know which year. Currently I have to kick myself to get some parts machined to get the front wheel in the Marzocchi. After I bought a replacement set of carbs I discovered that one of the inlet rubbers had sheared, but managed to acquire a set of good used rubbers, including the correct clamps, so it (hopefully) won't happen again Sadly I don't have vacation anymore and I'm busy getting courses for my master's degree, so I'll have to divide my time

These could be either GSXR750 or 1100, years 86 or 87. The only difference would be the width (wider on 1100).
Thanks!

what can you get away with in your rules starting too look good though.

what can you get away with in your rules starting too look good though. Thanks! The rules state 18 inch wheels, RSU forks, no floating brake disks(have to change that) and stockish looks. There are other classes in which you're allowed to change almost anything, but those guys run GSX's with GSXR running gear and 185 PS at the crank. I don't have the money to achieve those numbers, so I'll try it my way. Finding cheap (but good) period parts and tune the engine myself There will be an update soon, a mate is adjusting the Ducati spacer to be fitted in the GSXR wheel. When that's finished I can design and make the wheel spacers and fit the front wheel. Then I'll be able to mount the front forks and still move the bike around (the workshop isn't mine alone, so can't leave the GSX standing).

So I got the spacers that fit inside the wheel, already looks good! : Now I'm figuring out the sizes for the other spacers and I made brake caliper brackets, so I can mount the Brembo's on the M1R. Made this in Solidworks, and did some simulation. Is has a Factor Of Safety (FOS) of 3.8, so I'm happy (this is with 6082T6 aluminium):

What front rotors are you going to use? Maybe you first get these befor you work on adaptors for the calipers.
(I'm gathering parts for a similar racer, I take it by the rules you mentioned that you want to take part in the IG CSBK Vintage Class in Germany?)

That's the raceclass I'm aiming for I'm using the original GSXR disks, at first floating, but as soon as the rest of the bike is finished I'll make them rigid, as per the class rules. You're right that you have to have the disks first, but luckily I have What kind of racer are you planning to build? GSX/GS of something else?

What calipers will you be using? When I understand the rules correctly the GSXR calipers are not allowed? I'm quite interested in that because I will use similar running gear like you. As I never rode a motorbike different from a Katana, I'll build a Kat, obviously...

As I never rode a motorbike different from a Katana, I'll build a Kat, obviously... The bushes which with which the disk is connected to the disk-holder are loosely fitted now, if I'm correct. If you make those rigid then you should have rigid disks(i.e. disk that cannot move). I'm using the Brembo P08's you can see on the pictures. These are often used in classic racing and are cheap and I'm told they are very good. Only thing better I can imagine would be AP Lockheeds. The P08 calipers are used on many motorcycles, so they're easy to find (BMW K75 for example, and they work good on the K75! my dad has one ) The P08's are twin piston calipers. A racing Kat would be awesome! Will you start a topic here? Or maybe on the IG CSBK forum (I'm also on there, just not really active )

Thanx,
when I start on the build I will open a thread here, no question.

I couldn't get the last bracket I designed to fit, so I decided to approach the problem a little more scientific: Let's see what I design now
