Triple tree take me 3 afternoons but now it is OK. I hope I'll manage to make brackets for rear shock and put engine in.

Very nice. Why does the triple clamp come so far back at the headstock? is this to mount a stabilizer?

Yes it is for stabilizer. I think when I'll come to petrol tank, I'll have to cut it away and put stabilizer old fashion way like with old Kawa's.

Wow heating and jacking the frame an inch apart, interesting.

That Benelli Sei is cool. I really wanted a CBX or Sei for a while.

What are the brake discs on your z1000J ?

In one moment I've had all three sixers, but now I have only SEI and KZ1300.
Brake discs on J are some china stuff. They were cheap and they brake. But still I never sit on the old bike if I previous ride new one. Once I went from my ZZR (one finger brakes) on H1 (All fingers, legs and feet brakes) and I almost get killed.
