That's where my challenge is at the moment and I need some inspiration.

MotoFXR's will rule the world!
I'm keeping an eye out for a GSXR front (if one comes up at the right price) what did you do to make that fit?
Its harder to lose weight than gain horsepower.

The sprocket carrier was easy, just used the FXR carier, which is exactly the same overall depth as the GSXR carrier just the sprocket sits further in ont the FXR, with the GSXR spacer, cause its got the right ID dimension.
hope that makes sense, will get a photo tonight for ya.
Front end was real easy, the GSXR stearing stem uses the same headstock bearings as the FXR (well the 88 model does anyway) and is long enough just to bolt straight up
Yea I took a bit of a gamble and brought an entire bike minus the engine to get the wheels (for the right money of course), didnt know at that stage that the entire front end would be transplantable, it has turend out to be quite a good buy.

Compare Pornography now to 50 years ago.
Then extrapolate 50 years into the future.

Well the conversion had its first outing in anger today, and holly shit what a difference this has made to the bike!!!!!!
I had thought that the wheels may have been a little wide for the kart track so didnt really know or think that there impact would have been that great but holly shit if you get the opurtunity then this mod is well worth the effort that is required.

Do you know if the 88 and 89 model GSXR250's have the same stem and forks?
Who You Calling a Pig
As far as I am aware, I have been having look at a few photos online and they look like the have the same front braking set up which to me indicatates the same forks. I have read that the only change between the 89 and 88 was the 89 had a 18 inch rear wheel.

Cool, thanks!

Well, can confirm that a 89 GSXR250 stem will slot straight into FXR frame. My top clamp came with an ignition key setup that I'm gonna use so had to grind off a bit from the steering stem, so the top clamp would slide down.
