MrFluffy, you're spot on, it's from a ZRX1100, the builder did mention that in his build thread. Unfortunately, it's on the Zephyr Zone website, which won't let guests view their forum, and the registration requirements are stricter than most. He's wanting something doing to the forks next :bugeye: not sure I'll be good enough for that job... |

Does he want you to adapt the zrx yokes or make new ones up? Mostly the factory yokes have a pressed in spindle with a collar on the end to stop them pulling through. I pop the spindle out downwards in the press after a fettle to remove any keeper welds if its a steel bottom yoke. Then turn a new spindle to match the dimensions of the yoke and the original yoke spindle dimensions and press it in the yokes. Apart from the single point fine thread for the top bearing clamp nut and getting the areas where the bearings sit bob on within limit and fits its not a tricky exercise. |
