I think I paid £40 for my original unit a couple of years ago, and that was removed fron a bike which was going to be tracked from new.

Even if you had to make/modify a top mount to fit a GSXR shock, that is far easier to make than a lower adaptor. All you would need to do is bend up some flat bar, drill 3 holes, 30 seconds to weld in the mounting bolt and you are ready to go.
I could make a lower adaptor in about an hour if I was doing a batch of 10 in a mini production line using a jig that I made to hold everything in place, to avoid having to measure every part before it was welded in place. The first one I made took about 2-3 hours and I binned it as I wasn't happy with it.


Kayla, they certainly are a pain in the hole to make. I made about 60-70 of them in a couple of years, to people from all over the world, but I will never make another one unless it is for myself. I used to sell them for basicly cost price + the price of a couple of pints, and now that I have my own business I would rather spend the time on a customers car making some profit. I didn't mind making them for people on here, as I have gleaned a lot of information from the people on this site and was keen to help out 400gb-ers who didn't have the facilities to make their own adaptors, but to end up I had people buying them, who were then selling them on for a lot more than they bought them for, to line their own pockets. Which I thought was a bit naughty.
Those ally brackets do look a bit trick though, far nicer that my ones looked as they were made purely for function, with no thought for how they looked.
