A tip: If you ever need to remove anodizing from aluminum for whatever reason, instead of a beadblast/sandblast method,use oven cleaner(I like the brush on kind, but the spray works well too). Apply it and let sit for about an hour,then wash off with soap and water.

The cleaner will remove all types of anodizing and not bother the aluminum.

Really?
Thats awesome....wish I would have known about that before.

Thanks

Irishwill- please check your private mesaages.Very interested in a frame reinforcement/bracing kit...thanks!

dang will that turned out nice and it is so cool of you to build these parts and offer them to other members who may not have or be able to get the machine work done.besides you have already made sure what fits and everything,now they just have to assemble.thanks for postin.

Ah....shucks Leon....LOL...seriously ...thanks

I'm going to run a set of superbike bars on this one... so I am going to make the bar holders next...then a trickety trick headlight bracket.

well here it is guys...they are made to sit at stock heght or you can use a spacer and drop them an inch....
I am going to make another set thathas a steeper angle on the mounting boss so that the guage set sits a little flatter.
the ones in the pic are a little scuffed but the finnished product will come anodized or polished.

you sir are an evil genius,how about a stock headlight to finish off the look?

Just read this entire thread...

I'm not worthy.....

Amazing work.

I am so glad i found this forum, I had no idea how many were out there modifying the KZ.

You guys kill me hahah
The head light that will be mounted will most certinly be stock...just have to make a "proper" bracket.
stay tuned race fans ....were just getting started.LOL

I will have a dozen of these top triple tree's available at the end of next week...they will include a stem as well.
they will work with any gsxr 1000 forks from '03 -'07 I am pretty sure the 750 0nes are the same...if anyone knows for sure let me know....they are set up to use the stock bearings...so its a pretty simple conversion...unbolt your old front end...press in the new stem from your "new" front end....bolt it in place useing your stock guages and controls....presto whamo...your done.

and to think i'm so proud when i do somthing like bolt on new bars.......this is making me look a my j-model project and dream a little dream....thanks for the great photos and ideas....craig

So cool. What are you planning on charging for these things?

Looks really nice. I was going to suggest that you include stems to make it a very bolt in deal.

Makes me wish the bike I have access to was a 03-07 GSXR and not a 03 CBR600RR. Can't look a gift horse in the mouth thought. :laugh:

yes will as soon as you have the stuff worked out and are ready to make the kits available please let me know as i am sure that i will need one for one of my project 900's.so yes i would like to be on "the list"hehe.keep us posted.
there has certainly been some ears perking up around here :evil:(horns whatever)haha.
