A continuance of work continuing from the last time.
I change SR500 to 17 inches.

Originally, the H-rim 19 inch of the initial SR was fitted with Brembo’s large diameter disk.
Incidentally, it is 18 inches after the early days.

I hang it from the H steel of the ceiling and pull out a fork.

I also put a jack under the engine.
I made it fail-safe for when the string came off.

Because the new outer tube (although it is a used item) is the painting,peel off the clear with a release agent.
A genuine product seems to have painted clear on an aluminum base.
But, the second-hand goods, scratches are included while the former owner is using it.
In that condition it may shrink when painting from the top.
So, I need to exfoliate the paint or do sandblasting.
This time, I decided to exfoliate with a release agent.

I think I make another set 17 inch, disc brake suspension.
So I exfoliated three of them of one right and left + one in total.

The caliper has already ended the overhaul.
I wanted to use Brembo, but I will use genuine parts for the time being.

↓It is the parts which came out of the used advanced age-type fork which took the outer tube.
It is still beautiful and can be used.

I thought that the inner tube used the thing attached to this SR 500, and to change only outer only to an elderly type.
However, since the inner tube attached to this had point rust, I decided to buy Y’s Gear’s disk kit.
Actually, I do not know whether the inner tube of the low year type and the outer tube of the elderly type fit.

One side of the inner tube is 17,712 yen.
One side of the whole fork is 36,720 yen.
Both the caliper and the inner tube are new. And there are a meter gear and the master, and 76,000 yen is cheap.

During the work that I changed to 17 inches, I discovered an oil leak.
The cause seems to be behind the flywheel.
I think I want to exchange from the outside without disassembling the engine.

I changed throttle to ACTIVE two pull.
The master will change to radial of NISSIN.
Some wires became slightly remaining.
Though I bought 700mm, I look good even if another approximately 100mm is short.

This air cleaner is not an article for exclusive use of the SR.
But, when attaching a CR carburetor, since it is an ellipse, the surface area of the filter is large so that it is convenient.
The manufacturer is K & N, the part number is RU – 2750.

The adjust bolt of idling is convenient if I attach an extension wire.
It seems to be called a remote idle adjuster.
It is on sale from BITO R & D.

The rear is attached without difficulty and the work is completed.
It is cool when it is high grip!
When changing SR to 17 inches, superiority feeling is different.

Today is up to here.

Next time I will do the front.
Because it is necessary to change the outside tube of the fork for an old thing, it takes time for a while.
I want to paint it in black.
I combine a caliper and a hub with used fork this time.
It may be better in terms of certainty as it is newer to buy Y’sGear’s disk kit than searching for a used.
I can save labor. But,I have to buy a hub.

Or make the original vehicle of the old age base as the base car.
But, there is not SR500 when it is an advanced age type.

Because I disassemble a fork, I bought a spring of HYPERPRO.
I want to take specifications to be able to turn at the corner comfortably.
Because I am going to produce the second 17 inches, I think to paint the hub and this fork at the same time.
