Re: R1 forks

The blue spots are lovely, my wave discs, which were new but there when I bought the bike, do give a little light buzz at speed when I get hard on the brakes, but the are still all bedding in, and hat may go once a few miles are on it, but those brakes do work well, and feel powerful yet progressive...

Re: R1 forks

The r1 forks I have 99 year, are about 12 to 15 mm longer when lifted until they just clear the handlebars, I am making 20mm risers for the bars, thus enabling me more adjustment with fork height. I think this length difference is actually insignificant, as my r1 forks have a little more sag than th...

Re: R1 forks

I thought both ends 1.25mm pitch . Looks good .what length hoses are you ordering? Mine will be a bit rough and ready compared to yours :( Mine will fit without machining but disc is not quite central to slot in caliper. You are right on the thread pitch, my brake lines are fitted at the lengths I ...

Re: R1 forks

Maybe I got that pitch wrong, will look again.

I'm using two hoses, splitting from the master cylendar, right leg is 75cm, left is 95cm, I hope that works :D

Re: R1 forks

Yes, my forks and calipers are now on, the calipers when in just right with no spacers, but I have aftermarket discs on there. The brake pipe is not going to work, so I have ordered some new ones that I have measured up, the master cylinder banjo bolt is 10mm and 1.5 thread, the yam calipers want a ...

Re: R1 forks

I will do some measurements and pop them up here regards spacer positioning of the wheel, and bearing to spindle, and knock some up this week, most likely Wednesday.

If you want some just shout. :)

Re: R1 forks

Alternatively, having made some 22 to 25 mm spacers, with a 3mm collar to hold them on the bearing face, and enough length to position the inner spacing tube ( in the hub to relieve side load on bearings), I could knock up some for you, and make them the right length to position the wheel central in...

Re: R1 forks

My yam spindle is 22mm diameter too, I have had to turn up some packing spacers to fit with the raptor bearings, but I have found the bearings have a little bit of wear in them, so I'm going to my bearing factors to see if the have something that will fit the wheel and spindle without my using the s...
