Raptor Chapter

"Creating some" sounds like you've got the skills and kit! Keep up the good work.

Looking good Geoff, I can't wait to get mine finished.

I think I would have stopped at first attempt. Nice

Geoff Where are you getting them from?

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.

I've just made some My left spacer is 14.7mm (fat part) and extra 15mm to enter bearing ,that brings the discs central measuring from inside disc to outside of stancion with digital calipers.I have made the right spacer too long and will cut down to suit the spindle (when I get another) to get corre...

I had a look at bearings and couldn't find one that was 22 x 47 x 12 so spacers are the way to go. I was told all the calipers are the same (again to be proven) but I reckon they are 2.5mm too far into the wheel centre and they mount inside so 2.5 mm needs to come off and there is just about enough ...

Well usual story he said(lol) they were off a 2000 model. What is the spindle size on yours?

That's weird because my calipers are offset the wrong way meaning I need to machine some off the calipers as they are too far in already. And the raptor bearings are 25mm compared to 22mm on the yam so need a thin walled tube to space that out. Unless my setup is different.

Hi folks in progress fitting r1 forks just a couple of questions.
1 when using original wheel and yam spindle what setup have people used for spacers.
2 the caliper is slightly off centre to disc did you machine the caliper or live with it?
Ta muchly

Oil companies can pretty much call oils whatever they like .fully synthetic semi synthetic doesn't really mean much. Using a true fully synth in an old motor is probably a bad idea as the film strength is better and so can get past the rings more easily. But if it's had that since new or reasonably ...

Omg I thought you were kidding

Mine looked horrible when I took it out of the tank ,water had got in and corroded stuff so it is probably a good idea to get in there and have a look.

Cool will down them later. I had something already booked for that weekend( baby sitting one of the grand kids) so it would have been a lot more exciting to have been with you rabble( is that how you spell rabble?)

Haaa
