Just sold an old front end off an old road race bike I had!!  A certified check for $450 is in the mail and on its way to me!!  More $$$ to feed the hungry project!! :-D



What was it off of??


Have the cases split yet?

The front end came off a 2005 GSXR 750 track bike I had.  I was gonna put that front end on a project SV1000 I had.  Both the GSXR and the SV have found new homes and i had parts left over.  I'm sure Motorrad has a ton of parts from various projects he has had so he can relate to me..loll.  I have not split the cases yet because I am still working on either buying a case splitter, or building one from scratch.  I see the one you use and I am pretty sure its something you made yourself.  Soon as the cases are split pictures as going up.  Once again thanks for your help. 8-)

That's what I was thinking.  Was having visions of my OLD Ceriani front end on my 71 S2R racebike.  Long gone now...

Nice looking project you have going.  Those cracks were the same ones I saw in the sleeved cylinder I looked at this weekend on a bike that was a possible trade for my CB900F.  After adding up the cost to fix the damage I decided to pass on it.  Just out of curiosity, what does it cost to fix those cracks and replate?  And that begs the question, is it better to have it replated, or sleeved?

 :lol:...I know what you mean.  I did have a complete rolling chassis of a Yamaha RD350 that I was gonna build up a few months ago but someone ended up giving me too much money for it....I may be only 33 years old but I know my racebike history and I can tell you that I would not mind walking through some of your backyards to see some treasures from the past...... :-D

Backyard???  As in outside?  No, that's not gonna happen.  Backyards are for pools and swingsets, not for motorcycles.  At least not mine.

You at Miramar or Pendleton?  I have a few of them but don't know if any of them work on the 500 - I know I have one for a CR500.

I used to live at Pendleton.....I'm out now boss.  I live 3.5 hours north of Pendleton in a little town called Tehachapi.  Its about 20 west of Mojave.  I am in pristine riding conditions for both road racing and off road. :-D

Yup, I know where that's at.  A little far to drive for a borrowed puller I guess.
