I'm not sure what size they are but that could be why the flipped. I'll probably just stick to photobucket instead of hosting them through the forum. So far I'm very pleased with how it's coming along. Will be painting all the body work jade metallic to match the ZRX cowl that I have.

Got the forks today. Dont mind the gold wall tires. That front tire is shot so I didnt see a point in removing it when I painted the wheel.

They are off of a CBR 900RR. I will also be running the hydraulic clutch off of a ZX7. The bolt holes line up perfectly. I will have to remove quite a bit from the inside of the cover to make it work.

Hi martin,
a question about the hydraulic clutch, you need to change only the cover with the actuator or also the clutch basket is different? I'm interested in this modification, it's the first time I hear about it and might be on the list for my winter overhaul of my bike! ;)

Also, the rear shock are the "RFY"? can you tell me the length and how you feel them? I'm going to buy a couple to be installed on my GPZ to get rid of the unitrack system that I don't like...
"daghe gas!"

They make a drop in replacement that just fits in the cover. I went a different route to save some money. All I will have to do is modify the cover.

I like these shocks. I have them on my Honda as well. They won't perform as well as ohlins but for the money the work great.

There has been progress on this. Not much, my 3 month old take a lot of my time now so i dont get quite as much shop time. I bought a hydraulic press so I could swap steering stems.



Didn't realize that the KZ stem presses out from the top instead of bottom so I bent it. Ordered a new lower triple and its on the way. The 900rr stem is 2mm bigger than the KZ stem so I am going to build up weld on it and have my buddy turn it down to the proper thickness.

Also got my ZRX tail light mounted







As well as my Dyna S pickup



Also picked up things like the igniter, starter relay and regulator/rectifier. Still making steady progress. I am holding off buying anything for the moment. My job situation isn't very steady right now. The property I work on is being sold and the new owners haven't indicated if we will be kept on. Once I know for sure I will be getting back on this.
