It seems that the oil cooled board is going down hill we need to spice it up, come on you guys let put our heads together and thing of some good mods.. and some good convo's i think if we try hard enough we just might be able to do it !

 

[Mr Gixxer]

okay here is the stock linkage

and here are some bits that Doug machined up for me

I am happy to report that it all worked well, and I now have a 92 1100 swingarm on my 88

 

[GixxerRacer371]

Thats some nice work there Mr.Gixxer! Are those custom length dog bones to go with it?

........oh and you have mail regarding the SRS link.

 

[Mr Gixxer]

yup custom length

mine came out to 209mm center to center

when Doug did his 750 it worked out to 200.8

somebody else will probably get another number

 

[GixxerRacer371]

Thats interesting how they varied by so much.... thats a big difference considering that dog bones play a big part in your ride height and just a small change there can sometimes have a big effect on it.

 

[Mr Gixxer]

the shock length , linkage and swingarm are different on the 750 from the 1100

that could be it

 

[GixxerRacer371]

Thats true.... I didn't know they were different bikes. So do you have a wide wheel to put in that swingarm now?

 

[gixxerfever]

very cool bro it should look great soon

 

[suzukiltd]

I did the same mod. I just need to figure out the proper length for the dogbones. I am using the stock ones off a 92 750, but they are shorter than the length Doug gave me. I will see what happens.

 

[Graham]

-5mm on the bones is roughly +25mm rear ride height.

 

[jp233]

nice work, Mr Gixxer!!! And Doug !! what rear wheel are you mounting? are u going with 17 or da old skool 18 rim ?

 

[skidmark]

I can't wait to see this bike!

 

[Jimmyhat]

DUDE I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU BUT MY BIKE IS GONNA BE HONKING CRAZY WHEN I AM DONE // TALK ABOUT MODS FUCK THE BIKE IS GOING TO BE UNRECONIZEABLE LAST YEAR PEOPLE THOUGHT IT WAS A TL ?
THIS YEAR IT WILL LOOK LIKE A 91 FRONT WITH A 99 TAIL.
I CANNOT WAIT RIGHT NOW I AM POLISHING THE CARBS SO BRIGHT THAT YOU CAN SEE YOURSELF IN THEM, LIKE A MIRROR.
NEXT OTHER PARTS OF THE ENGINE AND IF ALL GOES WELL WITH ME GETTING THE JOB IN TOWN AT THE ELECTROPLATING PLACE MAN MY BIKE WILL BE TRANSPARENT CANDY APPLE RED OR BLUE?
CHROMED BITS AND PIECES AND MANY BLING BLING THINGS.
CANNOT WAIT TO SEE YOUR FACEZ HAAAAAAAAA
