front end on her. i went with a kz750 front end because the overall lenth of the fork was 1" less and the forks stance was a little wider, iv set it up in a way that i can adjust the hight of the bike by rising or lowering the forks i the trees. i have a set of set-backs for the bars so i have clearence when i mount them. the clocks are lowered and the headlight brackes inverted to lower the level of both.
