I had though RC51 was a direct bolt in?

Testing my memory now but I am positive the Hornet stem needs removing and pressing into the RC triples then it is a bolt on job. Those front ends will be getting scarce now - years back when I was sniffing around ebay for a set they were getting good prices for a set of forks that needed a recondition. Thus the tape measure look at more modern options.


I am pretty sure I still have a Hornet 900 stem in the shed that you are welcome to if you want it. Used - will need to be checked for true (I purchased used) but yours for the price of post if you want.

I had the underside of the top triple alloy filled and was going to file down the 22 mm handlebar mounts and drill to fit ones for a set of fat-bars. Never got around to it. Welcome to the triples if you want to.

Haha - I almost added that they were not on offer! Niccccceee front end too

Bet it is mate,hadnt been on the TL forum for ages but had a look the other day...way back when the GSXR front end as i did was the thing to do these days guys are sticking really late model R1 front ends on the things All good and nice to see blokes doing things different.

There appears to be a good supply of f-all km stock sport bike front ends in the USA as they often swap them out for spiffy top-end Ohlins when racing. And entire low km bikes get parted out all the time.

Probably good I don't live there - I'd have a shed full of 'one day' project parts and bikes ....

Ditto - PM me if you want it. Still have to pay shitty NZ post costs though!


Got a tidy tail piece of the body work in a box somewhere too ...... another 'project' idea that did not happen.

The swing arm was a long job with all the shimming but once done it handles alot better now,
Yes I'll keep the motor as is looking in to turbo at the min and a upside down front end

turbo vs supercharger? In that Rotrex make superchargers and I've always thought that power (instant from down low) was better suited to a motorbike - not that I have ridden either..... plus that sound.
