i realy like the zx7 ninja front end. i have been wanting to get going on my mkii project for a long time now and those are the forks i was planing to use. they look better than i thought they would on these old kaws.
as for the speedo issues.... that was one of the reasons i picked up the zzr1200 front end for my kz1000. like the gsx suzuki bandit 1200 the kawasaki zzr1200 is set up for a cable speedo like are old kz's.

keep posting progress pics.

Dave and Rattler: THANKS!

And on a personal note, I'm glad my wife can't get a hold of you, either! :lol:
I'm trying to stay "on it", but my work has turned mental for the moment and I'm somewhat busy. Spring break is coming!!!...:blush:

WisconsinKZRacer: Hey, cool!
Fatcow: thanks man!

I'm getting close to spring break and prepping to take a little 'run' at the thing to get some items addressed. I need to remove the front sprocket for a few enthusiasts here and give the 'scoop' on exactly what it is. And Solumnrus has inspired me to get my *poo* moving in a positive direction...lookin' forward to some 'bike time' in a couple weeks.
I'm at the in-laws this weekend and - unfortunately - going to throw a couple wrenches at the GS1150 and see if I can't get it finished so my energy can be focused on the green bikes...dang it!:pinch:

Sorry it took me so long to get to this...school year is just under-way and students tend to be stoooopid-er during this time of year. :unsure:

Couple little things like the engine covers that I had powder-coated black (it's a "J" remember...). All this really did was make it clear that I need to either paint the rest of the motor, or I need to have all the cases powder-coated when I (re)build the motor.


...........oops...gimme a minute to re-size the pics here.

Oh, and did I mention that I have a set of PM wheels for the thing? Yup, a 6.25 for the back...so, can you say "swing arm conversion"? Gonna hafta. And to do that I'll need an out-board bearing support, also in the picture. The headlight is something that I picked up over summer also. I mistakenly allowed myself to be talked out of the original a few years back...paid the price and picked one up this summer.

So, got some parts and lotsa work to do...got a little tied up this summer with the Hawks and some projects the wife had me on. Thanks for the inquery.
