Episode 25 [Inazuma 1200] Super Light! −108.5g Suzuki Rib Material (Aluminum) Rear Brake Torque Rod Build

Using Suzuki’s signature rib material to make the torque rod aluminum (*’ω’*)

The torque rod with a rod end (spherical bearing) mounted quite far from the brake disk seems to be accepted these days, but…
The pad wears unevenly, right?

The more I look at it, the more I realize how well manufacturers really do their work.

I cut one side of the plate, bent it, and welded it.

Since it’s my own bike, it goes fast ( ゚Д゚)

The GSX-R750/1100 GR and GU models use this rib material.

K-N won’t work.

You could also use it for a hanging muffler bracket.

Since they’re hard to find lately, you could use this area as a base too.

Super light! −108.5g

You shouldn’t be buying titanium bolts one by one, folks.
Swapping steel for aluminum is actually more effective in terms of weight savings alone.

Wow! Pretty subtle ( ゚Д゚)

Well, ultimately the torque rod won’t pull the caliper anymore, but for now…

A bit down the road I’ll be listing the support caliper and torque rod on Yahoo Auctions again, so if you’re interested, help yourself.

For the rear I’m using a ZZR1400 caliper. Of course it stays 220mm.
