GT MONO conversion
Hi all,
after several months of search I had all parts collected to pull the trigger...
Exchanged the gearing to 15-40. After initial run yesterday I found out that the yellow warning lamp stayed on...I remembered Dietrich complaining about this as well. Will have to get into details next week. To get it track ready next steps will be exchanging tank and seat for the Sport Mono set up which is sitting in the shelf already. For street use iŽd like to stay with the GT scheme and even plan to get the sport spoked wheels converted tubeless. A second GT seat is waiting to get shaped cafe racer style.

Beautiful. I've had both the double and the mono swingarm and the mono is significantly better on the track.

Your posts confirmed my plans...will have a check soon!
Thanks everyone for your kind remarks. Forgot to mention the 4p-brembos plus braided lines which hopefully will increase breaking performance significantly.
