my 1980 Z1R and 900 projects

been riding to much to post.i'm currently building an aluminum chain guard for the z1r.milling down some extruded aluminum,takes awhile with a manual mill but i'm getting closer i will post some pics to show what i am up to.thnks for the comments.

coolB)

got the brushed aluminum chain guard done last night.to late to take pics.i don't think that i am completely through with it yet but it is on and functioning.it will keep the wifes feet outta the chain,that was the main concern.just have some design elements that i'm letting come to me before i do anything else to it.not sure if i'm going to mill slots,or holes,or put a decal on it or what.it needs something to breakup the slab aluminum side.i'll try to post some pics tonight.

Can't wait to see itB)

Mistakes? Screw-ups? Us KZ experts makes mistakes and screw-ups? Never going to happen to us! Except when we start working on our bikes. Then we all get to sit here and laugh as we read about other guys troubles. Not because they made those mistakes, but because we instantly remember when we pulled some of those same screw-ups. Good to be able to laugh at yourself around here, isn't it? Learn from your mistakes and you eventually get to be experts like us...escept for those times mistakes and screw-ups come for a visit!!!

here is my swingarm.i built it,is +2" over,1" chromoly.
and as soon as i figure out how i will load the pictures.any tips?

here is the axle plates i milled out of a 1" thick chunko steel.it is drilled and tapped for jack bolts in the front.i only have these two pictures uploaded right now,but there will be more to come.

That swing was nice!

It keeps the "old" style, really nice work!
And I think its steady as rock.
Are you gone polish it then? or is it plain steel ?

That "mayhem" of yours sounds terrible. :lol:

it was terrible.done now though.the swinger is chromoly.i will paint it and ride it and make sure that i don't want to change something then next winter i will powdercoat it.now i have an irritateing bearing on my output shaft that is begging for my attention.hope i don't have to pull the motor,but if i do i will.

That looks amazing nice work!!!! any more pics?
