Title: Hamman's Crazy Build!
Post by Hamman on 05/11/17 at 16:16:33

Thought I'd share along my build. Today was busy. Monoshock system installed, new subframe and test fitting the DT tank and brat/tracker seat. I still have a TON of work to do! You'll want to stay tuned on this, its gonna be rad ;)

Here is a little sneak peak of the a$$ end.

Hey guys, it is a basement/garage. It is under out house. Its about 1500sq. ft of open that my wife and I turned into a workshop :) I'll get some more pics up later. Ive got a lot of work to do on it today. Picture was taken after I cleaned up haha, usually not so tidy as I work. I spend half the time looking for the 10mm socket ;D

I just buy another small socket set when I can't find mine so one day I will find the magical place that houses my sockets and finally have 30 full sets again ;D

Hey guys, made a few forward steps yesterday. DT tank mounts done, High mount style exhaust tacked up and mounted, GSXR750 Upper triple tree installed and 1 1/8" fat bars mounted! Not sure how to add more than one pic at a time...

Title: Re: Hamman's Crazy Build!

More pics. The handle bar clamp main bolt goes through the upper triple which than has an added cross member, so it isn't just pushing on the aluminum triple clamp.

Nice job on the pipe and sub-frame. The fork tubes are different sizes. Are you making spacers/bushings to get the upper t-clamp down 37mm or are you replacing the lower as well? Are the clamps the same center-on-center?

Title: Re: Hamman's Crazy Build!
Post by Hamman on 05/13/17 at 10:59:09

Everything is being replaced regarding the forks. Upper and lower triple, new bearings/bushings etc...Nothing from the savage regarding the front end is being used. All will be from 1999 GSXR750 with all balls bearing kit and a 17" front wheel ;)

Then I'm already loving this build [ch128077] What are you doing for wheel hubs?

Looking good, can't wait to see more!

Thanks guys ;)

Updates! Installed the GS550 rear wheel. Direct swap, super easy. Finished the mono shock and Hi-mount exhaust. Waiting on forks and more goodies to come in! Made handlebar shims to use the 1" controls on the new 1 1/8 bars with 7/8 control areas. Made new cables and everything is on track!

While early in it's design and build cycle, I've got to say that this is a very cool build. Please post more, and often.

Have you already, or plan to extend the swingarm a bit ?
I picked up a set of "extenders" from RYCA a few years back.
I think they add 1-1.5" and seem to be a fairly simple weld-in piece.

Title: Re: Hamman's Crazy Build!
Post by Hamman on 05/17/17 at 16:27:04

Looked into it, not sure what to do yet regarding the swing arm. Not sure if I'll extend it or not. Im liking the length and theres almost 2" of space between the tire and the swing arm.

Very interesting build got my attention

Looks awesome so far. Would love to see the attachment of the subframe to the main frame under the tank if you get a chance.

Is that a tail light housing at the rear of the hoop?

Title: Re: Hamman's Crazy Build!
Post by Hamman on 05/19/17 at 08:52:09

Of course, I'll get some more shots. Yes, the tail light is in that small housing I welded onto the rear hoop to make it more stream line. It is a small LED tail/brake light from DRC.
