Froudy's GSX14

[Basil Brush]

Yeah. I realised this soon as I unbolted it! Oddly enough it's as clean as a whistle. It's the lower bolt that's minging. I'm gonna pop to a bolt factors to see about replacing with some nice allen bolts both lower shock mounts and lower torque arm bolt.

Hi Basil.

Thanks for the compliments..I'm happy with the end result
I don't mind working outside if it's dry, you can spread out a bit more than in a confined shed or garage.
We partly rebuilt my lads DRZ400 in the dining room. With Mrs F's permission of course

The levers on mine are cheap Chinese items from e-bay..Brilliant for the money. They've been on a while now and the finish is still as good as the day I fitted them. One word of warning though..Clutch lever on span setting 1 might not activate the clutch switch!!
Easily remedied with a small piece of rubber super glued to the lever.

Most stainless bolts have either been purchased locally or from kayfast1 on ebay. As Barmy said though, you won't get the various stepped bolts, unless you get someone to make some up for you.

When I lived in an RAF house we rebuilt my wife's bike in the dining room using the (firms) dining table as a workbench, even sprayed the frame, tank and side panels in the spare room (had to repaint that before I left  ).  Cant do that now that we own this house.

A question please Sir.
Where did you get the clevis pin from for the rear brake?
I've checked the Zeta website and there is no listing for the GSX14.
Thank You
