I´ve started my SP1 conversion and have come across a rather odd thing.

Cbr 954 Upper - Fitted

CBR 954 Upper. 2.5mm difference.

At first I thought the worst. F%&k the forks are bent!! Then, the triples are bent! But no all is straight and proper. This I found out after I took it all apart checked everything and then put on the SP1 upper I have.

SP1 & CBR Uppers

Here is the SP1 upper installed just to check that everything is fine.

Then I measure everything and there is a 2.5mm difference between the fork clamps and the steering stem hole of the two uppers.

I say odd because I´ve never heard this mentioned by anyone who has done the conversion before.

So is this a known issue and if so what did you do? The only remedy I can see would be to grind 3mm away from the front of the Upper´s steering stem hole to allow the stem to pass through. This I am thinking would not cause any structural problems as the upper is not fixed as such to the stem, only tightened down around it, its not an interference fit. Plus asthetically it will be covered by the top nut so wont be seen.

Anyone who´s done the swop care to chime in?

Bren

WOW!! I´m impressed :blink:

Just been through your build on your home site. Didn´t understand a word but the quest for pictures kept me going, through the entire 45 pages :blink:

Like your solution for the coolant overflow bottle, simple but smart.

You lads really like the Smiley´s :mad: :dry:

Real nice.

Bren

Glad you´re OK. Time heals and drugs help the time go by.

I´m sure you´ll fix it up better than before. Real shame, it was such a looker!

Bren

Ohlins all the way. :biggrin: Can't wait to get the forks on. :491:

Rusty I know you got a 6th Gen, sorry 6.5 :cool:, but where is your compression damping remote adjuster fixed? The hose looks very short?

Bren, waiting on "his" Öhlins

Congrats!! Looks awesome :blink:

Come on who´s ordered one? Share every glorious detail.

I wish, I wish, I wish.....

Bren, wishing

I know I won´t be buying this kit, only because I don´t think I could ever justify the cost to myself or my family.

Having said that I cant wait till the reports start coming back from people who have bought it.

Also I dont think anyone buying one will in the long term lose out. Why? Think about it, how much publicity has this had and with such a small possible customer base it had to have as much as possible. Now there are people , who like me, would like this option but cant accept the cost for whatever reason, private jet already costs too much in fuel haha.

We will forever be looking on E-thing for one of these things to come up at a halfway reasonable price so we too can have the privelige of 140hp and vitually no front tire wear

To the lucky few, or many, who have placed an order, I envy ( I mean of course hate) you. Dont forget to show fitting How -To´s, ride reports etc. DONT BE LAZY!!! We need to know!

To Toro1 hope it goes well, glad you got enough people together to get this off the ground, maybe next bonus time.

Luck to all.

Bren :laugh: :laugh:

can anyone tell me how to get the map out of a PC2, for a fiw 98 5th Gen. I have a custom map which I find pretty good.

Max Power-101.02hp

Max Torque-55.45ft-lbs

Then I can upload it or send it to anyone interested.
