521master Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 the need to start a thread has finally hit me as 1- i havnt found another as modified online and 2- for motivation from others i picked up my ascot from the second owner his uncle was the first and he had learned how to ride bikes on it (so its not perfect) he also had a 2000 yamaha 650 cruiser with rod knock i offered him a trade my labor for his ascot and 2 weeks later he accepted! he had no idea of my intentions and was a little sad the first time he saw the bike but now cant wait to see it finished either so far i have installed 04 gsxr swingarm and mono shock-gift 01 gsxr inverted forks-gift 04 gsxr wheels-gift 01 gsxr rearsets-gift future plans include finishing it as i still need alot of little parts and dont really have the cash on with the pics although i didnt take enough how it started out test fitting the swingarm/rear wheel front end installed which involved pressing out the steering stems and modifying the ascot stem to fit the gsxr lower triple (note hammer for rear shock) i had started to take a few more pics at this time here a few of the rear shock install top mount lower mount both mounts (shock removed for welding) ride height after shock install plate brackets for rear sets (both are the same) right side on right on the ground and left on the ground hope you like it so far like i said i still need stuff like clipons,upper triple,passenger pegs,my sprockets,chain (going to gsxrs 525),rectangle headlight,front and rear rotors,brake lines and the list goes on im sure this build will take a while as im already 10 months into it but check back if you like what you see!

thisismatt Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Don't fault me 'cause I came over here from your 521 thread, but that top mount looks pretty sketchy, leveraged perpendicularly like that... :confused: Quote Link to comment
