Looks a good start there Kev Beauty of complete bikes is you can recoup money by selling bits you don't need which always helps. And you've got the right man in Mutts to help you realise the dream !! Enjoy, and lots of pics of the build please Dusty

Hope you enjoy it. Half the fun is building them and the other half is riding them. There's also an inbetween bit where nothing fits together, nothing lines up properly and you feel like smashing the heap of sheeite but thats a teeny tiny part that I won't include.

Been doing my research on forks, calipers etc think im sorted now. R1 gold spot calipers GSXR 600 750 K4 / 5 forks
Should be close enough for the NC29 wheels and brake discs

Anymore info on the build? I spoke to Nigel NK Racing he said the NC29 fits without modifying the frame, looks like yours required some fabrication ?

Gsxr 6 K5 on mine Thats what im planning to use, the NC29 brake disc is 296mm , gixer is 300mm so radial offset should be ok. What triple clamp / yoke did you use? any pics? Thanks

Lower yoke is Suzuki top is unknown one that previous owner made or had made, wheels are rgv 250
Spondon 440 can make you some bespoke yokes that will suit and look amazing too
