-Erik- Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 Hi all, I have just purchased a trackday '99 gsxr750 srad wich has been standing in the corner of a garage somewhere for a while. I'm freshing it up to have some good fun but I have a few questions for the suspension guru's. A mate of mine had a cbr600rr Wilbers shock laying around. It's too short, but with the bike I got a box full of parts wich contained a few top shock mounts. I assume the one I am holding in the picture is the original one, can anyone confirm/ or measure an original one? If I use the longest top mount, the total length is perfect. Second, I suspect the spring of a 600rr is stiffer, I have 2.5cm sag with me on it and 0.8 with the bike alone. Is this wirth trying or a new spring? And as last for the shock, do damping charesteritics vary a lot between diffrent bikes? In other words, revalve or just try it? Anyone has an clue what make this wheel is? I only have one rear and maybe like a set.. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superdunc Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 The wheel looks like PM chicane of mid90's AMA vintage. Good luck finding a matching front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooby601 Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 The wheel looks like PM chicane of mid90's AMA vintage. Good luck finding a matching front. Looks like it is, have been a few for sale on gixxer.com but they are mainly in the states so shipping will be a fortune........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Erik- Posted June 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 I'll keep my eyes open for a wheel but as I see the prices I think I will be running a stock front wheel, it isnt that pretty for such money. This wheel is actually from a WK Endurance Tl1000r I found out. Anyone some advice with the suspension? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorenzo Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 Only 1 bit of advice about the suspension: Don't rebuild it to the stock srad length. If you're going to be changing shocks around etc, many people run the stock shock with a 12mm spacer, making the shock a bit longer, as it aids turn in etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Erik- Posted June 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 I have seen photo's of the bike (I worked in their shop), but not on computer, in an old album I have the Yoshi clipons, master cylinder, some discs etc. from that front end I think (and some fairings) the front end is nice piece of kit, maybe over my budget , do you have a link of parts and prices you got?

speedy sie Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 oh....can i have some pics of the fairings?? i payed 2000 euro for the front end a few year back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Erik- Posted June 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 indeed above my budget, I paid 250 for the whole (bit crashed) bike. I was thinking something like that, tasty parts come at their price... The only fairing I have at home is the front mudguard, I will look but I doubt they are in the original colours..

Mark/Foggy Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Now this is why I love it in here. Sooooo, Herman has a kit box for an S-Rad and I know how to reach Herman. I'm guessing that'll cause a bit of Zombie Threadism. Busy winter ahead for me then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Erik- Posted June 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 to be clear: I'm not selling someone else's stuff, just mentioned I thought he has them (dont want to get into trouble, he's not 'openly' selling them) becoming a parts topic instead of suspension Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
