Pen's Z1

So....I ended up staying for a while....and got the top triple set up with a set of handlebar clamps(renthal)....
you can see how they will look all together....now the guages will be able to be mounted in 1 of four spots and the bars can mount in 2 different spots 1/2" forward or back....should help shorter/taller riders.
I will post some better pics when I get my camera back.

Oh ya you can have either 1 1/8" bar clamps for fat bars ( like in the pics) or 7/8" clamps for conventional bars (superbike bars ect.)

looks good,are you going to add an upper or lower brace to keep your top mount from twisting?ive never done the monoshock conversion on any of my own stuff but it just seems to make sense in my twisted way of overbuilding things!:laugh:

Yup, I'm with Plummen on that one. AND I'm interested in purchasing that part if you're going to manufacture it.

Not that I have done it before....but I don't think mounting a steel fender would be that impossible....finding one for a 17" wheel/tire seems to be...
I'm seriously considering not running a front fender.

You guys....c'mon there will be a gusset fit to the under side of the bracket fitted to both side as it comes off he frame.
even though I really don't think it needs it...the first one we did is still without any ...with no signs of any problems ...and it is 5-6 years old ....and has hundreds of trips down the strip...along with some strret miles.

Having said that safe is almost always better than sorry.
