no that cant be it cus is the same calipers and rotors. just different year wheel.
95 on a 96. same ****.

i dont know. i gota dismount it next week to paint it so ill look at it then.
here are some piks of how it looks today, i took it for a ride and is running great.






and here are some piks of the front. sorry for the bad quality.






notice the gap beetween the right and left side. the left side (clutch side,. is def closer to the fork..... wdf.....

i dont know what it is. and you know how the end of the axle where the lil 2 holes are at the end of the shaft should show? mine are half way into the fork there has to be something missing.

lol. as ghetto it might sound, ill try it, because im a mechanic myself, and i lol at some of the things i do sometimes... but them street trciks are the best.

ill try it, because the freeking rotor ate the caliper so uch that is not even making noice anymore.
tomorrow im going to work on it.

hey guys little update!!!!!!!!!

i fixed the bike.
today i woke up, i put the bike apart, and i changed the oil, and changed the plugs to ngk iridium. =)
then i took off the front wheel and looked into my problem and found out why the rotor was grinding.... the brake pad clip had somehow bent and wouldnt let the pad back inside making the rotor grind against the caliper.

now the front is fine, i just need new rotors, but for now ill do. and with the lil tuneup . the bike is driving like a dream.

im just waiting on the damn headlight and mirrors to come in.

later guys thanks for the help!

just as a side note if anyone is interested in doing a inverted fork swap use the front end from a cbr 900 from what one of the honda techs i know says it should all swap over. you will need everything from clamps forks brakes and wheel. im lookin for my parts now actually. people just want so much for them.
