r1 front end

[sd1]

When your on full lock does it come close to the fairing? i noticed the steering stem does stick out the bottom about 10mm, doesnt make sense, as it all look absolutely fine, when the steering is in the straight ahead position, its fine, its when its turned full lock, or nearly full lock should i say.

Cheers for pic mate.

is it just me or does the fairing on this bike look a little different shaped.

That's what I thought, hence the question about Foxeye 600 or aftermarket fairing.

With the steering stem protruding from the lower yoke (clear to see in the photo) the rest of the stem-bearing-spacer geometry should be correct, unless there's something really weird in the bottom bearing area.

it looks like the fairing is 'different'

Here are some pics of when I converted my Fazer.













PS Looking at sadlonelygit's pics I'd say the position of my bottom yolk is the same.

Here's the link to my conversion. Might help shed some light.

It sure looks smart with that R1 front end on.


I first started using these triple clamp forks and upside down forks in my days as a downhill mountain bike rider and mechanic,


we would spend £1000 on a set of Marzocchi monster Ts or rockshock , yes, just for a mountain bike, :eek


The importance of the right spring,oil thickness for the rider was very important as them riders in the elites do bloody motor.


We were lucky as it was easy to source all weights of springs, colour coded,,damping on compression and rebound.

I can believe that manuel.

My first wage packet of £19.20 went on a Champag sadle stem for 17 quid. A lot of money 30+ years ago. Then my mum went ape shit because I'd spent 'house keeping'. WTF was house keeping when you were sixteen.  :lol

And these days they do crazy things on those bikes.

i sold this front end and its spot on....it also just scraped my fairing when on lock which i fixed by removing a small amount of inner fairing with a file..job done. heres a pic when it was on my bike, and the only way the bottom clamp could sit any lower was if the bearing wasnt seated correctly. The R1 bottom yoke is wide than the fazer.


.....ive never sold anything that wasnt spot on btw.....some folks are a bit quick off the mark  Makes no odds to me if others clear and others dont...unless someones got the details of all fazer frontend conversions to hand which i doubt  :z

[rjd1]

cheer`s bud i will recheck bearing`s
and get file oooot

[devilsyam]

mo clearence issues with mine either

Most of the owners that have done this mod are on this site and have never reported any issues with touching the fairings, the original modders went into great detail with a thread build on using r1 yokes and many have copied there method without issue, I myself have done 3 conversions my own, my mate, and a punter off this site, all happy bunnys and perfect fit.

So something is not correct !!

Now if there fairing is perfect I would buy a bottom r1 yoke and press a fazer stem in to eliminate bent bottom yoke.

...........stuff.............

i think the painters must be in

and i wasn't having a dig tommy, not yet anyway!

[tommyteeman]

the bottom yoke in kartmans pic looks different to the one i used although it is sitting at the same level.and the pic in devils yam post are totally different. If you look at the pic of the bottom yoke i had it seems to have a little more material beyond the clamp bolts,its that casting line iirc that rubs the fairing, its very little, not like you cant turn the bars or nowt, might be wrong like but thats what it looks like. If the yoke was bent I would have noticed when they were fitted to my bike(if they were bent i would sling em in the bin).

[Kosmic Kartman]

The hex bolts on the bottom yoke are also recessed. Could be a combination of this and and a slightly out of align fairing. Do the indicators sag down slightly when viewed from the front. If the mounting points for the side of the fairing are bent in I could imagine that this might also compound the problem of the yoke rubbing.

[tommyteeman]

could be, the fairing on rjds bike also looks slightly different at the bottom, looks like it has a taller lip section.....the pics sadlonelygit posted look like the fairing has been filed at some point, not saying he did it cause he didnt but it has a flat filed look to the fairing instead of the round finish it should have, what do you reckon ??
