TOPIC:

she's looking great.

got the carbs on and the valve cover. going to get some oil - plugs - fuel line and some bolts today we are getting super close to blast off, also got the rotor botton on. wondering if anyone knows about the lockup ? what kind of bolts do you use for the arms? i have stock springs in it i know that you have to run it a few times to feel the engagement but dont know what to start with??

got the valve cover and the carbs on last nite also rotor botton man this thing is almost ready i have to get some fuel line - plugs - oil and some bolts today she should be ready to fire. the carbs look bad ass on there open the throttle and look through there it is huge larry did a damn good job on this thing. it is better than looking at a hustler mag. i was wondering if anyone knows what size bolts to start with on the lockup arms? i put stock clutch springs in it but not sure on the bolts





i dont know if any of you rememder whan i did the orange bike build i was talking about all my friends kzs that i ride with and i said that one of them put a kz motor in a zx1100 well when i had this bike up there to do the cams wed the bike was out of the basement and up in the shop with the body work off of it so i finally got some pics. with the body work on you was unable to see anything i will load them here shortly

I would start out with no bolts on the arms and make a few passes and go from there. Or if you are set on using bolts, I would find the shortest one that still allows a nut to be fully threaded on, because that would be the lightest combo.

Later, Doug

Dont remember the size of my bolts , but I do remember they are a nut and bolt long enough to double nut if desired for extra mass . Just try it a few different ways and see what you like , and see if the clutch slips .
Enjoy

thanks for the clutch input guys also i am getting fuel line before i go home wondering if anyone knows the id of it is it 3/8th?????

Depends on what petcock youre using,Id say 3/8 should be enough to feed it as long as the petcock can fill it.

3/8 it is i just didnt want to get home with some and be to big i have done that before i was thinking that was that size thanks

You can always clamp it tight,but too small of a line will starve it for fuel especially on a dragbike

Get it up and running ?

ok heres the pics of the zx1100 with the kz motor in it, it took awhile to get these because it was togeather and you couldent see the motor i will take pics of it when it is put back.the pics show how it is installed i dont know if anyone knows what they look like in stock fourm but it is done pretty slick. the frame is made to unbolt and fall out the bottom.turbo seems to be the way to go i have another buddy that has done the same deal and his is turbo also. just thought people mite like to see this,, i will get back later today on mine had a fender bender sat. so havent been able to get on here..

Interesting bike.
Having issues with the exhaust pipe routed thru the frame But thats just me..
Looking forward to seeing your bike running with pleanty of pics

had time to work on it the last few days got a set of ngk 9s and set them at 28 thou. i took the advice and went without any bolts in the clutch try that for a few passes go from there. man you talk about a pain in the a--, bleeding the brakes took me forever got all the fuel line on, hooked up the throttle charged the batt. what next ? fire it up . i am trying to fig how to put up a vid , coming soon.

this is the only way i can do this for now all you have to do is click on this pic it will bring up a video

got a vid up its been along time comin

today when i get home a friend is coming over to time this thing we tryed to do it yesterday but the timing lite we had the dowel on the back of the gun only went to 60 i want to time it at 38 degress but found out that you have to double the degree on the gun which would be 76 and like i said 60 wount let us do it this other guy has one that will get us there. i hope to get to the track this weekend to see what it will do and fine tune it,iam sure this will be a ongoing thing for a few weeks but that is the fun of it . i was very pleased when we put the starter on it cranked very little and it came to life i didnt think this day would ever come. i could not have done this without alot of help from alot of you guys and close friends ( wife ) cant forget her i will post some vids & time slips that will give you all something to talk about

We'll be waiting!!!! More importantly, enjoy it.

Retorque the cylinder head NOW....before you run it anymore. Make sure it's stone cold when you do it. Then do it again one more time after you get some runs on it.
