VTR250 radialization +α

This time, the VTR250 used as a foot bike was radialized? The following is a list of the products that we have made.
The calipers and masters that I was saving to use for something.
Finally, it will see the light of day.
It took about six months from conception to porting the brake calipers.

Place and dimension the caliper to be used.

 

Tentative use is made with a piece of wood to check position and clearance.
(This is the hardest part. Additional processing and development later...)

 

Drawing is made and a fabrication shop is requested.
The processors are quintessential professionals. They change the material depending on the part to be used.

 

Tentatively assembled the finished product. The measurements were not correct, so additional work was required.

 

One installed. New brake rotors, etc.

 

Radial brake master is also ported.
New mirror holders were installed due to lack of mirror holders.

 

I'm using radial calipers, but with supports.
It's just a fake radialization (^o^;)

 

Then the tires were converted to radial.
Dunlop SPORTMAX GPR-300.
I was torn between this and α-14, but due to the nature of the vehicle, I think I'll go with this one.

And +α, I'd like to change the front fork oil for engine oil.
I put in 10W-40.
I was thinking of replacing the spring because it felt like it was bottoming out, but for now.
We experimented to see what would happen with high viscosity oil.

Brake master & caliper:
The braking power was increased as expected, but the lever touch was improved.
It was a happy miscalculation.

SPORTMAX GPR-300:
Not to mention better grip since they are new tires.
It has become easier to make adjustments to the tipping point.
The previous models were worn unevenly and seemed to fall down suddenly, but now they are much better.

Front fork oil:
I was thinking of replacing the springs, but this might work too!

It's been over midsummer every day, but take care of yourself.
