I drilled the top GSXR triple clamp for the handlebar mounts to get an idea how it will look & fit. There is a good chance I can use the stock top triple clamp and steering stem based on the rough measurements of the XT frame.
I took another trip to Zdeno to find a new, smaller rear brake caliper. I didn't have any luck but I did come a cross a 6 piston front caliper off a 1999 Kawasaki ZX7. I traded in the 4 piston caliper and the rear brake system I had previously sourced plus a couple bucks $$$. This will give some more power than the 4 piston unit I previously had and will match up much better with the large master cylinder I'll be using.
Looks pretty good... I gotta get a front tire on there soon. I almost have the front disc mount designed so I can send that out to get machined soon
