I’m Konstantine Tumbinsky and this is fork installation on caferacer K1100SX
We’ve already shortened and modified OEM forks in single video at our channel
We cut all useless mounts and made good quality powder coating
Also we installed spoked wheels from BMW K1100GS in single video at our channel
We made custom black anodized triple tree
There are seat places for Motogadget motosign mini panel and tiny speedo
CNC LSL headlight brackets and ABM adjustable clip-ons will be installed
To set spoked wheel, custom axle was made
First install triple tree
Lubricate bearings even if it’s test assembling
Upper bearing and cap should be heated up to 80 degree
First install upper triple clamp and after locking tube
Tighten locking tube with 65Nm torque
Install the nut without tightening
Clean all surfaces before installing fork legs
OEM marzocchi fork is 41.7mm diameter
It’s impossible to buy parts for such diameter, so the only way is to cnc cut 41mm parts
We reduced offset of triple clamps (-4mm) to make bike more maneuver, as it is built for street riding
Despite the fact that this is test assembly, we advice to do everything neatly as you can damage the parts
We shortened the forks, so they don’t stick out of the upper clamp
Fork caps should not to be recessed into the upper clamp
First tighten lower clamp to align fork legs
To achieve a uniform compression over the entire thickness, it is better to make several approaches
After tighten central nut with 65Nm torque
Next upper clamp
Before installing front wheel, install spacers from both sides
Axle is installed from right side and fixed with axle bolt (33 Nm)
Next tighten left fork leg’s bolts with 14Nm torque
Pull down several times the fork to set the right fork leg
After tighten right fork leg’s bolts with 14Nm torque
We will change them to new stainless steel ones
I install adjustable clip-ons to move the bike and to estimate the rider’s position
ABM makes high quality clip-ons with all adjustments
it’s very useful for custom bike, as it’s very difficult to simulate rider’s position at the design stage
They have precise notch for accurate symmetrical installation
Tube has 5 degree angle for fine-tuning
Also ABM clip-ons look nice!
I install headlight with brackets to look at the bike’s shape
CNC LSL headlight brackets fit perfect between triple clamps
We choose LSL Eighties headlight, as it has proper design for our project
OEM calipers were already rebuilt and refreshed in single video at our channel
First time we get opportunity to look at the assembled bike with forks, modified gas tank and tail
OEM rear shock is a bit short, but we will change it to YSS, which is longer and adjustable
It's very expensive, so we will buy it after test drive
