(This is the axis of wheel spacers?)
The spacers are just big washers really. They measure 30 x 17 (outer and inner diameter) and one is 2.5mm thick and the other one is 5.3mm thick. This works for my bike but the measurements may vary by a little bit on your bike.

No problem at all
Everything fits straight in using the standard TRX bits.

My suspension guy said that a good conversion is the Thundercat cartridges in the TRX forks.
New cartridges are about $400AUD, plus I need new std tubes $300ea from Tarozzi or $598ea for TiNitride. Gives most of the adjustment that YZF600 offer but retains the original TRX look.
First thing is to flush out the tank as there's a bit of sediment in there. Will try and do it on the weekend.

Hey Kayla.
could you upload your photos again ?

'Scuse the mess
Mmm... adjusters
YZF750 mudguard looks a little Bodgitt & Scarper at the mo- nothing a few minutes with a heat gun won't sort but it'll do for now
You should be able to see the new spacers between the speedo drive and spacer and fork legs. Can't get the last 10mm of the front scrubbed in
Gratuitous FCR shot
Polishing nerds- Yes, my bike is scruffy but it works and it's great.
I had to bite the bullet and fit higher bars as my back is a bit knackered at the minute. Hopefully clip-on service will be resumed soon.

Kayla, This is sounding a lot like mine, even looks like mine when i got it. Apart from my honda forks.
Will you go going on track with it?
All the best, Dave

So, um, if I procured a Thundercat axle and spacers, would this negate having to make spacers up to fit the trx wheel?
