I had to respace it to center, and make a rear disk spacer and adapter.
The sprocket had to be spaced out .090 " and the disk .834 ".

Actually my wheel and front brake setup weigh about the same.
Have you done much riding to see how the dual disks feel in comparison? Are they more linear and less "grabby"? Can you feel any difference in handling (particularly over irregular surfaces) from the slightly higher wheel weight?
I had a line on some ceramic disks, that weigh next to nothing, but they got away.
Weather has been crappy on Palomar the last few weeks, so haven't run the bike hard, yet.

Nice. What model bike did the rear wheel come from?
[QUOTE=Adelaideebr;8351]I think a CBR 1000. Doesn't matter since I modify wheels to fit my various projects..

Got ya. Thanks!
This may be a controversial opinion around here, but I think they should at least consider a dual set-up on production RX's (if not all bikes). The rim brake may be a good idea, but I think it hurts them more than it helps them. The perception (rightly or wrongly) seems to be that the current brake doesn't work well enough for racing. And since they won't have the money to prove that wrong on the race-track any time soon, I think they should give in and go with a set-up that will be more generally accepted.
I currently have 2 sx and 1 rx.__
Cheap on ebay.
Wanted to make at least one different, though all have my Akra / HMF homebrew exhaust.
Well here is a photo of the offset and cantered bearing cup holders and bearings, ended up with .7 of a degree in rake change keeping wall thickness safe. I only found metric bearings that were suitable, so the steering stem is now at 25mm Diameter instead of 25.4(1 inch)
Will post my possibly some what subjective findings once I have gone for a decent ride.( waiting on a decent steering damper I ordered).

Nice work!
So we went a different route and used the RSV4 triple tree and made inserts to retro fit the steering stem from the EBR. Here are pics of my race 1190rx with RSV4 front end.
The Forks have Ktech Internals, Brembo GP4RX calipers,Brembo RCS19 Master, Spiegler lines, Ohlines Steering Damper, RSV4 factory front wheel (forged aluminum) and the Brake Tech carriers come back with the CMC rotors. Will weigh much less than the front end of the EBR and have improved braking and feel. Just need to dial it in before the first race!
We are making a block that will act as the steering stop and then a bracket to fit around the right fork to accommodate the Ohlins steering damper in the OEM location.

we just finished the top bracket for the damper. Will post pics asap

A block for EBR triple trees and Ohlins damper?
