New guy to Buckets

[richban]

Did yah weigh them? I have an MC21 bucket build on at the mo and am thinking of new forks. The MC28 forks I have are nice and light a 7.5kg with clamps and all. But not very adjustable. Will need emulators. Was wondering if something like what you have could work but a little concerned on weight.

No sorry I didnt but ill have them off again this weekend.
The tripple was lighter than the mc14 tripple but idd say the total would be about 9-10
PM me on Friday to remind me to weigh them.

The guy that sold me the forks will sell the clipons for 100 including freight so that solves that problem.

4 wheel bearings worked a treat. Need to remove 2 mm from rt side spacer to get wheel dead centre. Managed to get the new muffler mounted also. Made a template caliper mount adapter. Needs to be 15mm thick and larger around one of the mount holes on the final product. im not sure if ill find 15mm thick ally this weekend. If someone has some at home PM me. Also fitted an old man comfort seat to further raise the distance down to pegs. Clipons should come on Monday so should be ready for the next meeting.

Looking good!!

Managed to get the front brakes mounted and wheel centred. Had to remake wheel spacers to move wheel across. Went with 5 pieces of ally for the caliper mount. Making 5 plates took a while and taping threads also. I made one spare plate because the caliper is single side pots so may need add a plate once pads reach half worn as the caliper sliders only have about 4mm travel to max distance but shouldnt need it I hope if I replace pads often.

Also need a front guard and it looks like ill need get a Aprilia one for the mounting fit.
Managed to get my kill switch into the centre of the key barrel holder and the old front number board bolted straight on.
Clipons and braided line to fit tomorrow.
Also need some allen key bolts to replace the big hex heads.

Im using the aprilia triple clamps and aprilia axel so its stock width for a aprilia. Its the tripple clamp shaft and crush tube and axel spacers I have modified. Forks are still Aprilia stock spacing.

Theres a Aprilia RS250 front guard on Trade Me, but I guess its not carbon enough for ya?

Its a rsv1000 showa fork set up. im not sure the sizes are the same. The showa forks are 53mm. Ill see if they match. I sent the fork guy a email to see if he still has the guard. He has also just sent the clipons to me but they havent arrived yet.

Rsv aprilai 1998-2003 and tuono 2003-2005 fit these forks.

ok but the guard firs around the front wheel which is 250 sized?

Simon from down South has this guard at 120 which hes just confirming is for my model or a damaged carbon one for 50 that needs work.

CBR250 17inch front wheel with 90/80/17 tire so I would assume the higher wall slimmer tyre will fit ok.
