Any chance of another set being made up chaps? Be happy to pay for a pair, got hold of an arm and would like to stick it in at some time and if a pair of dogbones was already available......

Thanks in advance.

You'll also need two 2mm spacers for the swing arm to fit the frame and two spacers to get the linages the same distance apart on the KR knuckle as they are on the RGV one. I can measure these up if your stuck BTW?

Gonna have a try at my new pair tomorrow at work. The power station's maintainance engineer not only found me some bar today but also pointed out the plasma cuttter sat in the corner

. Shouldn't take long to get done

Measurements of all the bits would be a great help, cheers.

Some info posted on the Fitted RGV swing arm thread in Chit Chat. Fitted the 186mm long tiebars and they work a treat

dymags are gonna be found and some discs will obviously be needed so was thinking of getting pfm, same as what elf has. are they easy to find for dymag arrangement? im unsure of what forks im usin yet, possibly r6 rwu as i think there adjustable more than the kr. failing that ill get some zxr400, which model do you use? theres some zxr400 L forks on the bay atm. i recall H been mentioned in a thread about forks. ive got a nice rear shock coming with ride height adjuster aswell as rebound/compression etc. very little use aswell. i could end up using maxton kr1s forks yet as the fireblade calipers fit?

still after a rear dymag 4.5 are rare as hens teeth and fetch good prices..
the zxr400 sp are the ones to get with zxr250 yokes as you dont need to swap the stem..gonna get my front forks rebuilt (zxr400l) and i think the elf or someone got the bottom adjusters fitted to std forks and a cartridge kit..
Strangeengine got his done by maxton and thought they were awesome!!!
