Hey guys,
I'm onto another project and I need a few simple spacers made. Basically what I need is the spacers that some of you used on your GSXR fork swap. They need to be 5mm thick and fit between the rotors and the wheel on my 996. The rotors are the same 6 bolt pattern as on the Monsters.
Anyone here that can help out?
Thanks,
'Mash
I know Hooligan Machinist is, but he's lacking internet service right now...

Cool, if anyone has his contact info (phone #) could you please shoot me a pm with it? Or shoot me a pm and I'll respond with my info if you're more comfortable.
I've had them made locally, I can get some made and send them to you If nothing else works out.

I had them waterjet cut from 5mm plate, IIRC somewhere around 50-60 dollars including material.
I'm not a machinist, but I play one on TV.

That 996?
Yup! I get bored so I'll keep modding it until ti's sold. I'm not in a big rush to sell it anyway. If it sells, it sells. If not then I'll keep it. It kind of how I felt about the Monster.
so...
You're looking for something in the area of 95mm X 5mm with the appropriate bolt pattern, right?
Any particular material prefference?
Don't say stainless. I don't have any on hand in that diameter.

Yes, that sounds correct. I wouldn't have asked for stainless but I was thinking 6061 billet aluminum.
I'll see what i can come up with by the end of the week.
Any idea about inside diameter or counterbores?
PM sent.
go to a bicycle shop. You'll be able to get aluminum spaces for front chain sprockets. take teh M6 bolt with you and to be sure on the size you need. I got 5 mm spaces from them. They didn't have enough so they ordered them in from their supplier. took just a few days and I had all 12. charged me 50 c each.
i got this idea from they guys at Motowheels when I was doing my SBK fork swap for my M900

Nice! It's just like it's Christmas time..... Oh.....Wait...... IT IS!!!!! [thumbsup]
I can't wait to get the new forks on the bike. I just sourced the final part(s). Now all I have to do is make one spacer and put it all together. Well, as soon as all the parts get here! ;D
