Hi all,
I want to straighten out the lines of the rear end of the frame to get the cafe/brat/racer look on my KZ750. See attached picture.
I'll take you through my plans below, do you guys have any warnings/ideas before I start?
1. Ill cut the frame and replace it with a steel pipe (orange with red outer line)
2. To make that work I have to lower the rear shock absorber mount 1 inch. I want to do that to cut out 1 inch in the red circle.
3. By doing this the rear shock mount will move down and forward (but also outwards a couple of mm.) To counter the latter I want to put a washer on the lower rear shock mount and change to 12,5 instead of 13.5 inch shocks. Will all these movements affect handling in a negative way?
4. I will level out the top of the bracket where the shock absorber mount is mounted to make it flat so I can weld the straight pipe on it.
Thanks in advance for any tips!
