yes that looks like the place

Well, finally got around to converting the TRX to a "superbike" style to accomodate my partner, as she was obviously not comfortable with the low clip-ons.

Still got a few things to tidy up, lockstops mostly and horn wiring.

What da ya think?

No fairings were harmed in the conversion!












Needed longer brake lines, but with some careful rerouting, the stock throttle and clutch lines were used.

The front master cylinder just sweeps inside the fairing at full lock, but I am replacing the m/c with one from a FZS600 fazer, which is tidier and will give even more clearance. The clutch lever side isn't an issue at all. Fitting 2mm shims to the lock stops will keep the switch gear well away from the tank.

We had the chance to ride it at the weekend, and the difference in my partners' confidence was easy to see, she was chucking the thing around for fun. No stumbling and shuffling at lights or junctions.

So a result methinks.

that looks very good ,,it was seeing your bike that made my mind up to fit the R1 front end

Thanks Steve, and adding to the mutual appreciation society, it was your conversion that pointed me in the direction that I needed to go!

I've had to back the front suspension settings off a bit aswell, cos with a lot less weight over the front, it was a bit firm over the bumps.

Wheelies nicely too!

Oh and nice conversion as well, was that a run around P'boro or germany?

Just a couple of images to show the revised brake master cylinder setup. From a Fazer 600.

Much neater without all that plastic shit and rubber hose.

One very tidy bike. Nice work.

Just needs an Akrapovic 2-1 to complete the picture.

im a huge fan of that new fazer brake res.. how is it to the stock one ? same piston size / feel to it ?

not a fan of the bar ends..

[steve speed]

i have one on my bike and yes its 14mm piston so its the same as the r1, also if you look on the top you can take out the rubber plug and fit a std wing mirror

Mine (TRX) or the Fazer ones?

cos the TRX ones aren't "bar ends", well actually they are the end of the bar if you see what I mean, haven't trimmed them and installed proper "bar ends" yet.
