If it's taching too high at speed because of that 16" rear wheel, you can switch to a 16 tooth counter shaft sprocket from the stock 15.

Pics, with ZRX swingarm, Bandit wheels and forks, not sure if there is enough steering lock with suzuki triple clamp, after modifying the steering stop to prevent forks hitting tank?

I've modified a Mitsubishi trans cooler to work as a engine oil cooler, hope it doesn't restrict air flow to the head.
still not sure about that steering lock? May look for a triple clamp with a bigger offset for more lock, and keeping
forks away from tank, any suggestions?

projects coming along nicely sir.

i believe the steering lock is only going to be a problem on low speed turnarounds in the road and such.

keep us posted,
