Chrisso's XS 1.1 B.C. before Chrisso

[Jonesy]

G,day, back again

Brakes
Front:
 calipers and master cylinder were taken from an RGV 250 Suzuki. the Left and Right mounting brackets were dummied up in MDF and routed and jigsawed till they was just right then the resources of a goverment defence facility were used to cut the outline with some fancy laser cutting technology from 12mm aluminium plate. Then these were thrown into a milling machine for further finishing......and can I say K'n awesome improvement in braking power!!
Rear:
Standard caliipers were powdercoated with a silvery sort of raw natural metal colour and basically turned upside down and Under slung (all the rage at the time from new bikes out of the Japan factories) and a new torque arm was cut out of stainless 3mm sheet and used the existing mounting points

Hey Bryan......Never heard of frelling? before. What is that

G,day
Thought I'd like to share a few things done to the bike in picture
Wheels:
Front
lifted straight off an XS1 650 ? Axle, speedo drive and discs bolted straight on. memory is a bit hazy but I dont recall having to use any additional spacers or bushes to fit between original forks
I discarded the original Rim and spokes
Rear
A donor bike gave up its original back wheel which I took to with a 9" grinder to chop the hub out.
Hub was put into a lathe and turned down to get a nice grinder free finish.
Next some 8 or10 inch round stock aluminium was machined up in a lathe ( I looked at a lot of spoked hubs for design details) then into the milling machine with an indexing attachment to drill all the spoke holes. Each hole is also counter sunk for the spoke end to sit in
The hardest part here was counter sinking the inside holes so a standard drill was ground down and converted for the job.
The new aluminium hub was shrink fitted to the lathed up original hub and then for added security was scotch keyed in 3 places.
Something I didnt realise until into the project was the centre line of the rim of a standard mag wheel is offset to one side of the hub centre line by about 10mm's
A wheel lacing specialist assured me he could spoke up a rim to be off centre and he did
Front rim was kept original 19 X 110/90  and the rear was changed to 18 X 130/80 and kept the original rolling circumference of the 17 X 120/90

If any  f you have any interest I'll add some more later
