Title: Second SR500
Post by: guest2041 on June 26, 2016, 06:21:05 PM

This is my oldest SR500 and just needs the carb sorted, apart from that it's sorted!

When I respoked the wheels I fancied a Bluespot caliper up front, it is mated to a FZR1000 front disk and looks the business!

Morning Ron, yes mate very nice collection of mosheens you have there. Yes I agree with you on the blue spot front disc conversion, looks well smart. I assume it's the original sr500 hub??....cheers, Michael

Mi Michael,
original front hub and I just had to use spacers to get the disk lined up with the caliper. I think I ended up with 4mm clearance between disk and fork leg!

I couldnt put the disk any closer to the hub as the brake caliper would have hit the spokes. All a bit of a fiddle to set up but sorted now.

Cheers Brendan!

Do love the SR's, have all the standard bits for mine but changed this one around. Dont like chopping frames etc so I can always put a bike back to standard.
