Justintoxicated Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 Well the lockup knida fits but I will have to really grind my footpeg down to get it to fit in the notch in the lockup cover for the footpegs... I will have pictures of this cover that is supposed to fit the footpeg soon. Seond how are you all bending the brake levers to get them to fit correctly? I can't think of a way to possibly bend it and clear the peg and cover... I also have a set of fullbore fonts I'm trying to put on and they don't fit either, I tried bending the brass mount for the stock plastics and wires way down, but they still bottom out on it and I can't get any of the holes to line up. I think I'm going to send them back to fullbore for another set. Hopefully it won't take another 6 months for the front plastics like it did for the rears. Anyone else have this problem? I have a brand new frame so thats not the issue... Please help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilarious Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 Yes, I had to grind my footpeg also. And as for the brake lever, you just need to adjust it at the rod on the master cylinder. Here's a pic, may help you a little. :beer: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chase@miamiatv.com Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 i had to grind mine aswell....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justintoxicated Posted October 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 (edited) Well my setup is a bit different I guess. When I adjust the brake lever at the mastercylinder to clear the cover mod, the brake lever is a considerable distance below the peg. I can't possibly use it in that position. If it is raised any higher, it will smack the case. Since the case also sticks out more it is also less area to hit the pedal I also noticed it seems like the Direct Drive Lockup is causing the clutch to wobble. I checked all my plates and they are in there nice and even. If you look close you can see where I ground down the peg to fit in the notch, but It appears it still needs some grinding... Will IMS footpegs fit or would I have to grind those as well? FULLBORES: Quite a dissapointment. I waited about 6 moths after putting the cash down, just to recieve the rears. Only to find out the fronts I got months ago don't fit... Also gave up trying to get the full bores on after about 4 hours. Anyone with Fullbore fronts have any fitment issues? The rears finaly came in after 6 month backorder and they fit like a glove, but the fon't are not even close. When I mount the front 4 bolts thr back sticks up and out over the top of the tank. I Bent the shit out of this part to get them to fit and no luck! Probably have top replace this part now if I even want to put the stock fronts on. I bent the brass mount to the point where it can't be bent down any more. it helped but it's not hitting on the washer for the radiator mount... And they still won't go down low enough to allow me to mount them to the fuel tank... Edited October 9, 2006 by Justintoxicated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Blue Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 My cover is different but I didnt have to grind my peg I used some washers to space it away from the cover. On the fullbores I had all I had to do was cut the litte brass fingers off and they fit good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanYE west Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 I just used some spacers that came with my carrier for the brake plate and shimed out the peg. Fit perfect. For the brake pedal I just stuck it in a bent it till it fit the way I wanted it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odaen Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 both of my lockups were mattoon covers, and my pegs cleared them fine. I did have to adjust the angle of the brake lever though using the adjustment on the master cylinder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it does mount the radiator to the steering stem holder. So it is required to cut/bend the brass fingers off and to bend the brass mount for the stock plastics down a bit? I contacted fullbore and I am waiting to hear back. I don't think the plastics will fit even if I remove the brass fingers. It seems like they are now hitting on the the washer where the radiator bolts to the steering stem. And I have a feeling that even if I removed it they would still not drop down another inch on the fueltank so I can mount them there... I talked tot he place where I got my lockup and they said it is possible to require some grinding. I'm now wondering if IMS footpegs are even an option. It also seems to not be balanced perfectly and I don't know why.... - Talked to custom creations and kevin told me it may appear that way at low RPM because the arms are slightly disengaging at low RPMs? I'll have to take another looknext weekend. I believe mine is a mattoon cover but I have already ground down the pegs quite a bit to get them to fit and they are still rubbing on the notch....I'm thinking the notch should have been machined a bit higher up on the cover. Maybe my footpegs just have more welding material on them? Wallrat did you re-weld the crappy stock welds? heh. I need another solution for the brake lever, it cannot possibly be bent enough to get it back in the sweet spot and having it sit lower than the bottom of the peg makes it extreamly hard to operate. Anyone selling a brake lever custom make for a lockup? Edited October 10, 2006 by Justintoxicated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bansh88 Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 Are you talking about the small piece under the handle bars that originally had the grill shround screw into? That needs to come off. Otherwise, it pushes the Fullbores up too high. The Fullbores sit MUCH lower in the front than stockers. My fronts were a bit of work to put on. I had to try different combinations of bolt here, loose there and it took my buddy and I to put the right pressure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok I heard back from fullbore, they told me to remove the brass piece (which is not really brass), and that once a year they get a call from someone like me that tells them they still don't fit and that sometimes the washer where the radiator mounts also has to be cut down... (And of course that person is me...) Anyone with follbores have a front set with gromits and plastic Sleeves in them? My rears came with gromits and sleves (which required longer bolts (I used Clutch case cover bolts I had laying around from my POS bolt kit.)

My rears came with gromits and sleves (which required longer bolts (I used Clutch case cover bolts I had laying around from my POS bolt kit.) Well I hear I may need to purchase a new brake lever with the lockup specialy designed for lockups...I should have gone for the 10 plate clutch The new brake lever is $120 plus shipping. Fullbores still don't fit after removing the fake brass piece the stock plastics use to mount up. What are they gloing to suggest next another new frame? The fullbores are now hitting on the frame mounts for the stock plastics. I don't really want to cut them off my brand new frame just yet, especialy considering that it appears once I remove those, the plastics will still not fit and hit on the radiator itself.... You would think for the amount of money they cost that they should mount right up like the rears did. I'd consider going back to stock plastics if I had not trashed the brass color piece with the fingers, purchased a chrome tank cover, and billet grill for them as well as the rear plastics Edited October 14, 2006 by Justintoxicated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justintoxicated Posted October 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 I got the fullbores on... Had to cut the bottom part off the brass thing to keep the steering stem in place. Now the fullbores rub on the factory plastic mounts that are attached to the frame, and on the top of the radiator.... But we managed to stretch them and drill some new holes closer to the end of the plastic and got them on there forcefully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animalman294 Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 Yeah, I was going to use spacers to take the peg out further............... :beer: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
