noticed that myself :evil: !

i thought the same thing i always think when i see super cars and the like,
"wonder how that would look backwards in a ditch?1?!?"
cause i ain't no smarter than to mash the throttle and hold it and try to drive it out! :pinch:
which lets face it we all know 95 percent of humans can't drive that car to it's full potential.
without the use of all the technowizardry.
but what fun is an electric nanny :sick:
cause we all know "if you ain't living on the edge,yer takin up too much room!

front end is looking good larriken,
keep us posted.

Haha I wish it was mine. Our only car car is a Nissan Wingroad station wagon lol! Just storing a few cars for a bloke. Even got an F150 crammed in the shed too.

On board.
Looks like your well on your way to fulfilling a dream... Nice work and the paint looks right from here.

I would like to ask a favor while your at this stage and things are accessible.

I am building a KZ1R Modified/clone and I need some measurements for mounting the Z1R seat and tail lock, specifically I really need template drawings of the front two pocket brackets and the aft latch bracket also locating measurements from say o/c of the cross bar or something shared with the KZ frame.

One more thing, if you do get rid of the after market side cover I still need both so PM me a price should you let it go please.

Cool thing was a mate of mine machined up two bolt type bungs with rubber washers and blanked off the holes where the rim locks bolts exit from. I used Lasertec tubeless tyres and now the front and rear are running as a tubeless setup. Also, my mate that put the tyres on the rims for me used the glass beads inside the tyre for balancing. No ugly weights on the outside of my newly coated rims!

I'd liked to have a few of those bungs to eliminate the bead locks,those are pretty nice . Also where did you get the valve stem

Sweet as mate, more than happy to help. I will get in the shed tomorrow and do some measuring for you. You build look sweet, what frame are you using?

Yeah they did come us sweet and has made the rim a whole lot cleaner looking. The valve stem is what my mate at the bike shop put in when the tyres were fitted. They are specific for the glass balancing beads, slightly different internals than a standard one apparently. Most bike/tyre shops should have them I would guess.

Finally!!!!!!! Clocks are finished and ready to be fitted. Has been a job and a half to get these done so pretty stoked to finally have them sorted. Still missing a couple of bits so if any body has a spare speed sensor bit that goes on the back of the speedo floating about in the shed let me know. You can have my first born in return.............. :lol:





This is the speed sensor thingy that I require.

Thank you very much sir!
The frame is build date 1976/77 KZ1000 A
I would love to pay a sack of gold teeth for one of those gauge brackets also

Looking good

A few more clocks and you have cockpit like a Spitfire.

A question about wheel balancing.
I read that you use glass balancing beads, is it just a case of dropping them in and start riding?
And what is the round aluminum thing on the rim?

You are more than welcome to the gauge brackets but they are the rejects. All bent to buggery. Happy to send them to you for the cost of the postage.

Yep, pretty close to be honest!



Not sure on the glass beads as it was a mate of mine that put the tyres on for me. Will ask him. The alloy bit was a plug made to fill the hole where the wheel locks came through. I have put tubeless tyres on the rims.
