I came to the point where I have to decide what to do with the upper triple clamp. I've seen where people have modified the GSXR triple but it looks a little dangerous to drill and mount risers and bars because the casting was not designed to take loads in that direction. The thought of pulling away and finding the bars not connected to the bike anymore concerned me so I decided to design a custom triple to be a direct fit for this fork conversion which retains the steering lock, stock instrument panel and bars.
After making all the necessary mearurements and designing the model Erin's dad made the triple.
With 100kg pulling on the handlebars the testing has shown that the triple has a factor of safety of 15 which means that it should be able to handle more that 1.5 metric tons pulling on it before a structural failire would occur.
I mounted rare earth magenets in to holders and bolted them into the enter of the rotor rivets.
I got the magnets and holders from Lee Valley Hardware (www.leevalley.com)
Magnet part number 99K31.01 ($0.24 for 10)
Holder part number 99K32.51 ($0.39 for 10)
I drilled and tapped the holders and bolted them into the rotor rivets with 6-32 x 1/4 lon stanless caphead screws.
