Nice one Charlie I will look into those tonight , thanks a lot for your help

Hi Charlie , would it be possible to list the 8 bikes that had a 245mm rear disc or front for that matter , dish or bolt pattern won't matter as I'm going to machine an adaptor to suit but the 245mm is the only measurement I can't Change as this is the distance from centre of axle to extreme of...

I will look into the xs750 disc also thanks Jay

Hi Charlie , that catalog you speak of would help a lot , I've ordered a Ducati rear disc but if I can get something to fit without machining an adaptor plate that would save time and effort . Is it possible to email the catalog ?

[BHi peeps , I'm fitting a rear brake hanger off a Ducati to the XS and need a disc with a diameter of 245mm of which I've a few but all have a far larger hole size in the centre which would require an adaptor of some kind making up . So can anybody shed any light by either :- A / Give...

The old spindle may be an option but swapping wheel ain't as want mags front and rear to match , may just have electronic speedo as cable type are hassle anyway . The brakes issue is most important to be honest , think I will try pick up some cheap 320mm discs with the required offset and go...

Hi all Managed to press XS stem into gsxr yokes and got it all fitted , sorted steering lock , now I'm using XS wheels I'm having disc issues in that the Xs larger discs aren't big enough for the gsxr brakes . If I swap to gsxr discs I will have to adapt some mounts no doubt to suit XS wheel...

Sorry Leo I misread what you said previously , I'm not the sharpest tool in the box

lol sorry I ain't had a PC for about 10 years , I'm using my Iphone to try and upload photos if that's possible ?

Your shocks look fine but just not the look I'm after on my bike , chrome in the Damp old UK pits about 10 mins after fitting lol . £300 uk pounds is still low end cost as wilbers shocks $1500 and ohlins the same , I've had cheap gas shocks on another bike and they were pants to be honest ...

Yes but the Hagon ones are pretty boring looking don't you think ? I know its about how good they work but I'd like them to work as good as they look , regards mark

Sorted it now but cheers all the same , as for pics I've tried posting before with no luck , ain't you got to load them via photo bucket or similar first then on the site ?

Ok cheers Leo for the advice , so the answer to the question is sort of If I buy shocks listed as sport derived bike they will be stiffer with less sag . Its only the fact I don't want to waste $600 on shocks that ain't right , but hey it's all a learning curve I guess on my first build :thumbsup:

I've managed to get it to work with a single tab and will grind big ugly crappy old ones off I think

Hi all I'm trying to choose some shocks with a longer travel of 360mm for my street tracker project but shocks of this length that will fit are designed for heavier bikes . XS650 is 200kg or so and the bikes that have these shocks ( YSS TOPLINE RANGE ) are about 260kg and these are adjustable...

I will check mine tonight , mine is a special though I'm certain it has axle on bottom centre but can't be certain

Hi all , So I've now sorted pressing the XS stem into the GSXR bottom yolk or triple tree for USA folk and now I need advice on a system for a steering lock as xs lock to lock tabs don't line up . Any pics would be extremely useful

I've now carried out my original plan by building the lower end of stem up with weld and lathed back to new larger diameter , pressed it back in and worked a treat . Don't get me wrong it's not as nice looking as the cognito one but it cost me nothing and to be honest I'd rather spend the $250...

Cheers everybody atleast I now know Im not going mad and it does require more work as I thought I might have an odd sized stem , I thought about heating the metal and widening with a tapered drift also as somebody mentioned or my other idea was to layer the stem bottom with some weld and lathe...
