Shopping list for 2011.....

[butcher bergs]

I like my stock front end, but would like to have easier accessibility to changing rebound and compression damping.

With all the worrying you already do, you wanna add suspension setup to the mix?

[OreoGaborio]

Has this question been asked and/or answered . . .

Are there other calipers that would be better and fit the stock forks with minimal changes?

Caliper swaps aren't lwss legal, but yes, you can get a bracket that adapts gsxr calipers.

I'm not sure actually. I don't usually ask what people they are running for suspension. I've ridden yours but Idk if you had the cartridge kit, same thing with noels bike.
My mwpt bike is race techd but not with a cartridge kit.
All I know is that just swapping to stock gsxr forks immediately shaved about 2 seconds of my lap times.
Tanzy has gsxr forks on his but he runs 600 forks that aren't USD.
I can agree that USD forks like mine may be a little stiff for the chassis, but the pros (to me) out weigh the cons.

I'll have to let ya take my bike for a spin sometime... Being a 2nd gen it's obviously gonna feel completely different than yours, but I think once you get comfortable you'd dig it.

It probably won't blow you away or make you change your mind, but Gino certainly liked it down at NJMP

Not looking to run SS anyway.

I assume that radial calipers are out due to the positioning.

[OreoGaborio]

Radial brakes need radial mounts on the forks. Not gonna find any adapters for that.

[OreoGaborio]

In other news... my winter shopping list is gettin bigger than expected


Needs:
LWSS legal motor rebuild
Brake pads
Fresh caliper bolts
Chain & sprockets (Tuono, too)
Front & rear suspension rebuild (Tuono, too)
Valve check (Tuono)

Wants:
Front brake master cylinder
Superbike lines

[Chippertheripper]

Funny how that happens, eh?

[The Snowman]

Mine got smaller. I really didn't want to undertake the whole front end swap. Instead I think I'm going to:

Get the SV Racing Parts Tokico 4 piston caliper adapters for the stock forks (info here: http://forum.svrider.com/showthread.php?t=120393)

Leave the 08 GSX-R radial master on and change the fluid to one of those mentioned in this and the brake thread.

Bring the bike to GMD to have the current suspension worked on, plus have the bike measured. (I never ad it done after I slid in T6 in 2009.)

So, all I need are the bracket kit and a pair of 01-03 GSX-R 600, or 00-03 GSX-R 750 Tokico calipers and new Galfer HH pads and not half as much work.

[OreoGaborio]

Or you can forget the calipers, too & still race lwss

Have to check w/ Dan on the size of the piston work he had done. Not sure if it's more than 1mm over.

[OreoGaborio]

Who's gonna check?

[KB]

Kb if you believe that a stock front end is better than a gsxr type front end then you are wrong. Unless ss is that important to you.

Not waht the fast guys say.

Oxx has a GSXR front end on the front of his scooter.

So, for the record, I've given up on all upgrade ideas. Just going to refresh what I have now. It worked to get me into the 26's. I'm hoping it'll work to get me into the 22's next year.

Good choice... save your $$

[OreoGaborio]

Agreed. The money's much better spent on quality seat time & instruction than mods at this point in the game.

Exactly. I came a LONG way this season and want to push that even further next year.

Besides, between the brake and suspension refresh, that's going to cost a bit anyway. Why make it more expensive than it has to be.

I think the SV will be over at Winter St quite a bit over the winter.

[csmutty]

You are making the right choice.

[The Snowman]

You are making the right choice.

Yeah, when I get on a buying kick, it takes quite a bit to get me to change my mind. Ask Annalisa.

I got enough people telling me that I was going about things all wrong. Guess I wanted to keep up with the Joneses.

What I really want is just to keep up with the Amateurs.

You will get there all in good time. I think the refresh will help and also twisting that thing on the right side just a little bit earlier and more.

Finally got to removing my suspension and cleaned it up. It'll be heading over to PK at GMD Boston in the coming week.

I need a motor refresh.

Probably rings, valve springs, valve guides, valve job, clearances, fresh fluids, clutch,fork and shock refresh, steering head bearings might be in mix too. Would be nice to get the bodywork repaired and repainted and mounts replaced.

Too bad I don't have any money, or a place to work on it.

Another 2 day school.
