Wanted to add some more *Bling* and decided that the GSXR used what they call Heel Guards (master cover) to the brake assembly so I made my own for me and a buddy and found a way to mount them up.
on the GSXR their master is just bolted threw and into the frame so the cover is sandwiched between simply, but running Awks conversion the master is flipped, a bracket is added and is a more "floating" design compared to GSXR giving the cover just a few more steps to mount so I figured I would just throw this up for the people that have this conversion and would like to run a cover.
I do have and can add hardware lengths and sized if needed, I have them written down, just don't have them right now at time of post
So heres the "Heel Guard" (cover), allen bolts with washers, allen bolt caps with flame, and Spacers
This is a shorter bolt for the existing bracket to master on conversion with washer, it is vital to have this bolt go about 3/4 way threw, not too much less or youll loose strength, not too much more or youll have no thread left for the cover to bolt from other side
here is the bracket bolted up, this part is the same process as not running a cover, now is a good time to bolt to frame, but for instructional purposes I left mine off for a few steps
as you can see on the other side I have some threadage left for my cover bolts, these bolts do not need a whole lot of threads since their is no stress or structure purpose for the cover, would be ideal to stay between 1/3 and 1/4 of threads of that of the bracket side bolts if that makes sense to anyone lol.
heres the cover bolts, washers, and caps. I am using allens because I like them and want to use caps, you can use what ever, they are long because we need to use a spacer between the cover and the master to make the cover float in a way above the contours of the master since it is flipped backwards to use for the conversion bracket system.
This is the cover I made, also made a red one for a friend. You can use any GSXR cover you wish to use this is just what I wanted and made to use. The washers I used were nylon that fit better, the ones I am using in this description are chrome to add looks which have a large center hole but once bolted up makes no difference
here is the allen threw cover and washer, doesn't look like much thread but theirs actually more than that once tightened in, also the chrome spacers I am using are larger than the nylons one I originally used. it is critical that it gets tightened down and that the bolt does not hit the bracket side bolts or the cover with be loose. If it does hit and is slightly loose you can add a washer or 2 between bolt and cover to pull threads back a little bit.
