One of my long term projects has been rebuilding/updating my 90 Connie. Thanks to this fantastic source of info, over the top generosity of others, and some great deals/finds on ebay, I have acquired enough parts to start my own upgrade project. I just about have the chassis/brakes sorted and am only needing some zx10b rods and I can start reassembling the engine. The project entails 17 inch wheels, inverted forks from zx9/7 combo, ZZR rear shock, 1052 build which will eventually have SISF's cams, jet kit, and a modified exhaust, stick coils, block off plates, cruise control, etc.. I did differ in the Mean Streak rear swap in that I did not machine the wheel. I used an unmodified wheel, caliper, and rotor from a Mean Streak. I boxed/reenforced the Connie swing arm and added a lug to bolt the Mean Streak caliper bracket down. Then all I had to do was have the caliper bracket thinned down slightly to match the thickness of the Concours caliper bracket. This will allow me to use a stock wheel, caliper, and rotor from a mean streak without having any machine work done, and, I can swap right back over to a Concours setup if needed.
