Here we go more pictures, I didn't want to bunch up this thread with too many pictures in a day.
Sexy rare vortex top tree triple clamp fitted for 95-98 1100, had some difficulties getting it off the stem and forks. Few weeks later I realized that it has different offset pattern from lower yoke!! Lower yoke is 750 and somehow they managed to fit 1100 top clamp and kind of bent the stem in an angle smiley-sick015 and pinch bolts were over-torqued and broke off..
Tried to get them out with autozone bolt extractor kit with hand drill... no success because their drill bits was fucking cheap and I couldn't give enough pressure to bite into high quality bolts and returned them and got money back.
At first I was skeptical but then decided to drill them with mill at my machine shop at disposal
Broke off some expensive bits in the process because of wrong speed, but once dialed in process went really easy!
Went ahead and ordered lower 1100 yoke so I can use that sexy clamp! However it was wrong part
nothing close to 750 or 1100 offset and width so I just returned it and decided to go with 750 stock top clamp that was included with $500 package...
I put untapped vortex clamp on Egay for auction and somebody won it for $60 last Friday, however I am still waiting for him to make the payment. He is kinda being gay for not footing the bill promptly since he has 100% feedback...
Anyways enough ranting.
When I put it on the wooden stand, I didn't feel any irregularities with moving the steering head, I already ordered the bearings anyway to freshen it up. Here is what old bearings came out
I would assume wrong upper triple tree clamp is at the fault of this bearing
Took out rear suspension assembly
Cleaned it up, roller bearings were in excellent condition
Ordered a bunch of stuff for my birthday/christmas
K5-K6 GSXR1000 rear shock, front complete 99-07 hayabusa 6 pot gold calipers, steering head bearings, non o-ringed drive chain, handle grips, and 1100 gauge cluster.
92 750 fork set and gel battery was not pictured.
I had 4 pot nissin with fucked MC and nonexistent front brake hoses, I picked up complete busa for cheap, cheaper than just buying MC and hoses for my 4 pots...I did some reading and learned that 4 pots are a better performer but 6 pots will be just sufficient for me and they look sexy
eventually will upgrade to braided lines though.
More packages
Racetech .95kg springs, 5W fork oil, oil seals, dust seals, inner and outer bushings, gsxr should ride very well with updated suspension!
Michelin power pilot 2ct front and power road 2 rear take offs, they should wear evenly as road 2 has more harder compound.
Picked up cbr ignition harness and k1-k3 gsxr600 coil plugs for cheap. 1.5 ohms per stick (part number #129700-4400)
I was looking for solo cowl cover, tough luck finding these..until I saw this on egay! Had to get it!
