Short hiatus

Just wanted to post an update that there haven't been any updates for a while. It's been raining cats and dogs here in Pittsburgh pretty much ever since the snow quit, plus I've been real busy with work. I have gotten in some parts to rebuild the XR's top end, and need to pull the carb off to see what it needs. Hoping to post some more progress soon.

Well, actually there is some progress. I measured up the distance between the triple clamps on the GSXR front end and the disance between the XR's triples, and it's less than a half inch of difference. That's a good sign. My next step is to take some geometry measurements on the stock bike and then make a model of how the geometry will end up once the GSXR front end is grafted on, to see if I'm close to where I want it to be.
