pretty cool.

how wide is that front tire?ive been trying to figure out if cop bike triple trees are any wider than regular kzs so i can go with a wider front rim/tire to even out the 190 i want to run on my currently stalled project

Still recovering,some days are better than others.

I have a KZ1000P front end that I was able to measure . The tire is about 4 1/8 mounted (Metz 110/90-18) , the center-center for the fork legs is 8 1/4 . This is checked with a tape measure , should be pretty close .
