great looking sprockets. where did you get them?  Wish I had found that source before I did mine this year.  Is the weight difference very much from stock?

I reckon the rear weighs less than half the original, supposed to last longer too.
Looks a lot better too  :lol:

Using Legend TT yokes/triple trees on the front end conversion on this one, with help from ROB, the clock mount lugs get in the way of the cable routing, so i chopped them off and had them powdercoated.
When i`ve made sure they fit ok, i`m having them re done as the finish isn`t too good.

The yokes as they came



With lugs cut off



And back from the powdercoaters

Decided the wheels will look too black, so added a little colour!
Reckon they look better and will go well with the new paintjob i have planned  8)



And thats it for a couple of weeks, off on holiday in the morning  :D

Back from holiday, new front brake discs were delivered, but wrong ones.
Was hoping to have the wheels fitted this week, but have to sort out discs on Monday when shop is open  :lol:
Good news was both bikes fired right up after sitting for a couple of weeks.

rf9rider

New discs arrived today  :D

All fitted with new stainless, polished rotor bolts (cost a fortune!)

Just need to arrange for the mobile tyre fitter to come and fit and balance the tyres.
