Modified KZ1000 Hopefully a knee-dragger project.

I had a machine shop turn the cush drive for me. I marked it with my calibrated,hot rod, carport, eye ball and it came out pretty close.

On the front I have the original sprocket with the teeth cut off. On the outside of it is a plain old Hayabusa sprocket (17). I plan to clamp the two sprockets together for alignment and then weld them together off the bike. I have cut the center of the Hayabusa sprocket so that it (the center) can be easily removed after welding. There it is, a home made offset sprocket. It will bolt up with the stock lock washer and nut. I picked the Vortex because it has holes in it that will give me more surface to weld to.I have not welded it up yet.It's raining really had on the carport these days.
I am pleased with the clearance and so forth. I am glad I sent the 5/8 630 sprocket back.
I am running 530 with a 120 link chain that I have not cut down yet.

Looking good bro. keep at it, your almost there.

Word!

Bad kaw, cant we get away with aanything around hear? lol. i corrected the fat finger error for u.lol.

what are you using for a jig to align sprockets while welding,what kind of welder?

I have removed the teeth and a 1/4" or so from the outside edge of the kz sprocket. I put it on the countershaft.
I have a new Vortex Hayabusa sprocket with lightening holes in it. I cut the "spokes" most of the way through. I put some glue on the outer edge of the kz sprocket then bolted the two together on the shaft. This will align the two sprockets.
Today I pulled the sprockets off and spot welded the two together. I knocked the inner piece out of the hayabusa sprocket. Next I welded the two together with my mig welder.
So there you have it, A centered offset sprocket for $24.99.

That thing is not going anywhere.

I had sandblasted the cad plated off and made sure I had good penetration.

You should all have one of these. Vaccum shmaccum. Just remember to turn your gas off. My 1100 carbs never overflow.

Bling Bling.

way to perservere!
keep pushin.
