Re: Yamaha YZF750 Swing Arm

I should add, with the swingarm hooked up to the linkage the arm shouldn't hit the bracket, but for piece of

Re: Yamaha YZF750 Swing Arm

From looking at the first picture it looks like the upper bridge work on the swingarm is hitting the bracket where the rear brake light switch goes.
Not a big problem, just have Nigel re-locate the bracket, not sure but the rearsets Nigel makes for the RZ's may have a place for the switch to mount
to.

Re: RGV Steve closing shop?

I'm still here, haven't closed shop. I'm doing more production work then bike stuff, but I still do bike stuff when I have the time. Lost some fence panels but that's minor, now I see there's another storm brewing out there, weather channel is showing its track for the next 5 days to be pretty close...

Re: R6 Yoke Differences?

Lets make this a little easier, you will need the 3MA lower triple clamp with the steering stem, you will need the R6 upper and lower triple clamps for the year of the forks you have. 3MA stem gets pressed out of it's clamp, R6 stem is pressed out of it's clamp, 3MA stem is re-tro fitted to the R6 l...

Re: Triple tree offset

Solo, Don't think there's many people using the old stuff any more, most guy's are using the newer '06 and up R6 front ends. Only issue I've heard from one or two guy's is the R6 doesn't turn quite as far to the left or right as much as the stock RZ front does, thats simple enough to fix by just rel...
