Z1000R and Z1000J - Lots of pics, and Gun-Kote oven baked paint.

NICE!. Looks like a shop on wheels. Way to go Roy.

Hey there! I know www.z-klasmo.de/ has some triples that work with larger forks... maybe cheaper to pick them up from here (they also have monoshock kits worth a look).

Looking forward to the product!

Thanks :laugh:

This is my turtle shop on wheels, haha :silly:

Those Leds are really a bargain, they almost dont use any power, and really lightning up clear light, not bluish tint at all.

That does it. I'm flying you over here to work on my garage and my bikes!

HAPPY NEW YEAR FOLKS!!!


Bad Kaw:
Thanks! After what i can tell you manage your projects very well :laugh:



Earlier I decided to use the TL1000R swing, but now i am not sure anymore.

Here are some thoughts:

I am using 3/8 " offset Sprocket in front.


TL1000R swing:

Looks better, since it is no visible offset in the design.
But that makes it hard to fit because its necessary to mill/cut/weld the
sprocket carrier about 23mm, .09" .

And still the chain will hit the tire, maybe with a smaller tire 160 it
will be possible, but I am not sure.

I think that people who have use this swing have clamped/heaten the frame
in order to make the chain fit.


Hayabusa swing:

Looks a little bit strange because of the offset design, everything is
tilted to the right when looks from behind.
BUT, that makes it fit without any issues, its enough space on the chain
side if I am using original Busa chain /sprockets.

Otherwise with a wider chain it is a possibility that the chain will hit
the swingarm, not the bracing but the side of the arm.
Looks like it will be no problems with the bracing.

The only issue here is that the rim will be around 16mm, .63" offset...
To the right when looked from behind.

So, does the offset do something with the bike handling?

I dont know, i have been told that some bikes are offset from factory, and one person I know drives with almost the same offset, and dont bother, he cant feel anything.

Any thoughts anyone?


Finally started again.:lol:

Here is the TL1000R swing.
Straight and equal on both sides.

Hayabusa, you can see the offset to right, comparing to the TL1000R.

So I will use the Hayabusa arm, next now is to cut off the old fasteners, and weld on the new shock fasteners.
And of course paint the swing gold with Gun-Kote.

And also I will rebuild the heads, thanks to 531blackbanshee for making the black crank, and helping me getting the tools for US price. I can promise that it is a BIG difference in price, comparing to Norwegian prices!

Its all ready a lot of mess in my mobile home!!!! :laugh:
