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

The hole is 8mm, .315, so that is possible.
If it s not to much out then?

roy,
so are you going to use clevis type shocks?

Yes, since I bought those China shocks, I got those adapters for both, eye and clevis, but I used the eye adapters for something else...

But if you want to make eye model instead you can do that, because I am not sure if I will use those shocks...
Its up to you. :laugh:

damn roy,:huh:
i want to make them exactly like you want them.which would be :woohoo: ?

Well my friend, than I have to say, follow the blueprint, hehe. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

That will increase the chance for me trying out those China shocks.

perfect.i really like that blueprint.you may have missed your calling:P .

yeah because we need to know if those shocks are going to be worth a crap or not:woohoo: .so then we can all go buy some:cheer: .

You have a point there, those shocks needs to be tested and driven!

yes i still need to get some decent replacements for the z1r.my re-painted stockers look ok and work ok but i would like something a little better,the ohlins i have the spring is too big around and bumps against my 200mm rear tire.

Thanks Calhoun.

Well, the bike looks still pretty much like an frame with an engine on, hehe.

But slowly, I am working on the the details!

Today i sent the sprocket carrier to MR 531 blackbanshee, he will mill the carrier down a few mm. :woohoo:

I do not know the ground clearance after everything is mounted up, maybe some other here knows?

But here is an old pic with the length of the fork, from center bolt to top of the fork.

284.46 inches?
That would be some long forks.. 23.7 feet you should have plenty of ground clearance..lol :laugh:

im no expert but im thinking the shock mounts will be under a compression load more so then tension most of the time so i dont see why it wouldnt work.we used to use something like that on electrical panels i think they were called riv-nuts or something like we install them into heavy gauge sheetmetal then you could like 1/4-20 machine screw to mount a cover on and be able to remove it without stripping out the hole in the metal

Roy! Thank you for the help.
I appreciate you taking the time to answer my qusetion.
I have ordered a set of USD zx9 forks. So I will be cutting, fitting, and welding soon. Best of luck and thanks again.
