R6 Radial forks/yokes now on, along with Fatbar conversion...
Next step, RSV swinger

Shweeet

Yep VERY nice, sadly they are not overly cheap nor easy to find second hand just yet. But a future upgrade once you have billet yokes to suit their diameters as I do.

nice....

wish i had a second trx to turn in to a similar beast....

good choice for your rear..RSV..a nice swing and will have the five spoke rear wheel to suit the r6 front...
Should end up nice and tidy
Havent heard anyone explain the change over to the radial r6 front tripples...care to ?

sorry, guess I should've done

R6 steerer tube is larger diameter than trx so a couple of spacers needed making up so the TRX stem would press in and that's it.
If you fit clip ons then all is well but to fit fat bars you either need taller risers or you need to chop 10mm from the top of the stem as it fouls the bars.
I just drilled the top yoke to fit the bar clamps( Renthals that I had lying around from a CRF)
With a little bit of messing/fettling the ignition block also mounted to the R6 mounts but no steering lock although if you really needed it( I don't) then that could easily re used
Currently using all standard cables etc but clutch is a little tight so an alternative is on way

Very nice.
Mate are you interested in selling that fairing bracket or are you going to use it?

To be honest I'm probably gonna cut it up.. Unless somebody has a bent one I can use. I need the main box that bolts to the frame and a couple of spars for my headlight mount

There was one in the for sale section last week

Nice, like the look of it

Going for an non radial UPSD R1 fork when I have the bike back home next week.
Nop problems with it its just at my brothers.

B-art

Nice! Good look with the RSV swinger - it's quite an involved job for a TRX but the end result will be well worth it when finished.

I do have a bent one but need a straight one. I have emailed the guy with the bracket that is for sale. He hasn't got back with the freight cost yet. I guess I will wait and see. Cheers

ooops

sorry..... i still have the bracket... i forgot all about it....

send you pm in a min...

Hmmm
Just taken out the TRX swinger and lined up the RSV...... tbh, it looks a doddle
pivot width is nigh on the same, pivot bolts same diameter as TRX
Just requires one bush machining up where the dogbones join the arm
should have it on by next weekend

sounds interesting...any chance of some photos..?

Just a thought.. dosent the Aprilia RSV rear swing have an offset to the centre line for the dog bones link ,,and looks a smaller width too..still a worthy project...you saying the pivot width and pivot axle are the same as he TRX ???
How about the measurement from the pivot centre to the wheel centre..?..and id assume the rear rim to be 17'' times 5.5inch.??
interesting
