The back rim ware you get it from?

The front end and rear rim are from a 1993 ZX11 that was parted out. The rim is 5.5 inches and I'm in the process of modifying it to fit the shaft drive. Unfortunately they do not just bolt right up.

Also will have to modify and reinforce the left side of the swing arm to fit a 180 tire and make a small dent in the shaft drive for tire clearance.

We cut the tail off a 2001 Katana 600 that had a blown motor and will be using that as the new rear sub frame. Or we might fab a sub frame from scratch. will be test fitting today. Hopefully!

Is that your helmet? That should go over big on the FWY. Or a convenience store.

Neat stuff man, there is a KZ1300 / ZRX build on the 1300 forum. the big sixes make some amazing street fighters.

Mate, what a sweet project. Will be keen to see where you take it!

There is a pic of another 1300 in that thread that has an extended single-sided swingarm!
