If anyone wants to make an 18 inch front wheel I will likely be selling a spoke set to do it. I ordered enough spokes to make 2 wheels at the time.

Its still in place and is working fine. Not really noticeable at all.

Oh well guess ill take my chances without. How long were the bars if you remember?

Woodcraft and other companies offer clip ons for 1" bars. They sell bar ends that have a 7/8" diameter where the clip on pushes into the clamps, and the bar is 1" for the controls.

I made up the design for my new top triple. I printed it on my 3d printer before sending it to CNC so I could put my hands on it and see if I like it and it fits.

Ive put a different headlight on and a few other goodies. Ill post pics and reviews once they are completed.

Imageshack changed to a pay per pic hosting and jacked the photos up, so I switched it over to photobucket. Ill have some updates in a few days showing my new triple clamp and the new headlight/turn signals that I installed.

Spamy Full Member Offline SuzukiSavage.com Rocks! Posts: 224	Re: Spamy's Cafe LS650 Project Reply #88 - 10/15/14 at 12:34:03 I believe the shocks I used are 340mm, about 13 3/8 inches. I wouldnt want to go any longer. These extend about 1 inch, but I didnt use any of it because stuff was starting to hit other stuff. Thats a center of eye to eye measurement.

Here is a pic of the triple before I put it on.

Just gotta put new boots, forks seals, fork fluid and turn signals on at the same time.

This bike doesnt really have a great flat spot for jacking up. I know some of you guys have made a wood block that works well. I think Im gonna make a mold with clay, scan it in and make a form fitted lift block on the 3d printer. Tired of the tie down spiderweb in my garage.
