Kano's Projects Z1000R and KZ1000J's

Well braved the cold today 32 degree's out side and decided I'd finish throwing the last few things on still some wiring to do but by 4 o'clock i was so cold i just had to come inside in the warm.

anyway to the picture's sorry they are not that great i was cold and kinda in a hurry!

this finishes the transfer of all the parts from my z1000r to the kz1000j1,

which means i get to start the z1000r all over again,
oh joy!

It is really warm down here. :laugh: Would you come down and finish my bike?

Great work! Roy

no probs!

Hi all, sorry if Im highjacking the thread....I recently picked up a 81 gpz 1100....I would like a bigger back tire than stock....is there a painless bolt on solution? thanks in advance.

no not really mate.

you want a fat rear Tyre?
your need and wider rear wheel.

want a wide rear wheel?
your need a wider swing arm.

want a wide swing arm?
your need a offset sprocket.

want a offset sprocket?
your need a full sprocket and chain conversion.

want a full chain and sprocket conversion?
be prepared to line up your front and rear sprockets and center your rear wheel.




watch out for chain rubbing on frame when making all your calculations or your need to grind a little off the welds around the web of the frame.

then wheels will be different front and back.
so your want to do the front end too.




once you have done all this your wish you hadn't wanted a fat rear Tyre!:woohoo:

Well hell Kano, have been wondering where you've been... Now we know! Sweet!

Well done brother looks killer!

kano,is it spring on marthas vineyard yet?
it is getting close here now that the snow from last weekend is melted.i have to wait until i get home to see the pics .

leon

yeah im still alive.

bike blew over in a storm, gas and oil everywhere!
only bent a lever though guess i was lucky there but it bummed me out big time.

as it snowed every other week for most of the winter i decided to console my self and work on a modification for a game i play battlefield 2.
we are about to release it to the public so ill be ready to pick up where i left off,

need to grind some clearance for the chain less than a 1/16 but rubbing is bad news, then check levels of oil and gas clean carbs again becouse cheap gas sitting for 3 mths of the winter has sure to have messed up my carbs again.

then its riding time fellow brothers.
after i renew my learners permit lol.

Your bike looks great Kano. Sorry to hear about it falling over. I guess u got luck ther. No major damage.
I noticed that u have a front stand that goes under the steering stem. Did it come like that , or did u modify it. in the pic it looks to be a 2 piece stand?

wife bought it for me last Christmas.

i wanted one that slides into the stem as apposed to the other kind that grabs the bottom of the fork legs.
its a little short need to make 2 taller flat plates for the pivot so front wheel is off the ground.
