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:

:woohoo:

Hehe, I thought it would be nice with some chopper forks!!!
(this is the first and last time "chopper" will be mentioned in this thread!!!:blink:

Maybe I should check better on THIS SITE first. :blush: :blush: :blush:

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.

Thats sad, Øhlins are nice shocks...

Maybe you should try to get hands of some zxr shocks, they shouldn't be that expensive if you find them used somewhere, if they fit better then...
I think they have a nice quality.

:laugh: :laugh: Yes that is a lot of clearance!! :laugh: :laugh:

And the first I do is to get a large tool bar on the right side:

I found some tutorials for you:

You just have to play around, and not get angry...:laugh:

now roy you know plummen only has one typing finger:P ,so for him to "play around with it"may take a while :blush: .
roy,does the block need that dowel sticking out the side like the picture?
what are the dimensions for the block ?

Hehe, well, I guess he needs to sharpen the pointing finger now, but that program looks very difficult, but when you first hit the breakthrough.... :laugh: :laugh:

There is no need for the dowel, I or you can make a hole, and I use a bolt there, and the size for the block is something around 30mm X 30mm X 30mm. Thats up to you, what you decide is best.

ok,so does the block need to be machined as one with the bottom plate?

No, its no need for that.
A nice weld? or?
