the 74 z1 turbo project again

Frame is looking tough. All that bracing is in the works for me right now too. I am getting the grinder out tonight to start removing the "unwanted" parts off the frame and get it ready for welding.

You are in Topeka, or the bike is? You need to make a little trip on into KC and see my project.

What size is the tubing you used on your frame? is it tube, or solid rod?

kawasakiman... "MAKE WITH THE BRACE KIT ALREADY"... hahahahahahahaha :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Damn Plum, the bike is going to weigh in about 300 lbs heavier.... You better design two turbos on this bike, one to get it rolling from a dead stop and the other for when at top speed of 50mph....

OMR

NOTE to Thyself: OMR is now on Plummen's hit list....

Its a good thing i cant post pics like u can. There would be some good porn going up right now. You will have to excuse me for 2 minuits while i go beat down my rod.:woohoo:

Have you tried mounting your coils since you put those braces in? Or are you moving them? Looks really tight with that brace right above the coil mount. Where else have you added bracing? Didn't you add some in V area right above the swingarm mount bolt?

The last picture of the swingarm bar mount is the one where it is 4" from c-c of axle and mount hole, incase you want to know.
