What are you going to use as a rear caliper? A small billet Nissin caliper would be nice.
Have you managed to get a hold of some HRC wheels? I assume the rear wheel for the 500 was specific to that bike?
I hunted high and low for some factory Showa forks and came up with nothing so we had to make something up.
We needed Showa, 43mm legs, caliper mounts for 290mm disc and a number of important dimensions. In the end we found using Honda SP1 fork bottoms would give us the 43mm legs needed, and with removable caliper brackets also sorted the issue of using 290mm discs. However SP1 forks are too long for the 500's so we've messed about with some HRC RC45 parts and put together the forks there now.
I had to machine new internals for them which are away being anodised at the moment but they look just about right and are now dimensionally correct.
I'm really pleased with the end result and they match the rear shock perfectly. They also use the same spacing and off set as the RS250R rather than the wider set up on the later 500V's. _________________ If I have to take the carbs off once more...
