Well finally the lowers came in today so I am almost all set to start my build. Once my triples get machined up and anodized I will be in business. Here is a picture of most the parts.

Current list of mods i am about to attempt
Buell XB12R front forks
Buell XB12R brake
Buell 1125R front rim
ZX10 rear shock
Machined billet triples
SWAT clipons
Yoshi RS3 exhaust
New paint job.

Yes, i know there is only one clipon and fork. The others are at work where the triples are being machined.

Cool. But you have a tire leaned up against your white couch. You're in TROUBLE!

 

[sidepipe79]

with a black cat and a black dog there is no such thing as a white couch. That tire is probably the cleanest thing to lean on that couch all day.

This will look good! What color do you plan on painting the bike? What wheel will you use in the rear to go with your buell front?

Custom triples? nice.

What are you doing about the short length of the fork? I've heard that the Buell forks are much shorter than the SV and GSXR forks, which will affect turn-in quite a bit.

just chiming in so i can check this out when Im not at work. Sounds like a cool build.

 

[sidepipe79]

The triples will accommodate for most but not all of the length difference. For the rear wheel I am going to paint the stock one to match the front for now. I am out of money on my budget for now so the rear will have to wait a bit. The plan is to put a F3 wheel on back painted blue.

The bikes paint job is still in the air for the moment. Flat white with the diamond blue wheels and strip. That is the blue off of the 1125R.

How will the triples make up for most but not all the length difference?

 

[7Zark7]

I would assume the triples will drop down at the ends.

_____/ ____ \_____
______/ \_____

Well, that didn't work out at all :/

 

[sidepipe79]

that is exactly it. I have them offset a bit at the ends. too much and we get interference.

Now i am just waiting on some machine time and we wil be on the road.

 

[dan46n2]

nice- cant wait to see pics!

that's what I was thinking. I was thinking of asking a buddy to machine some for my GSXR forks like what your saying Zark.
