Pen's Z1

p.s. you can pm me.

does anyone know if a busa frontend is the same.
thanks,

leon holmes

Are you going to make any upper triple clamps for the Kz style of gauge setup? Also what are you doing about fork stops as the Gsxr's aren't compatible with the Z1/Kz frame?

One suggestion for you...if you find the 7" headlight too small for the wider front end get ahold of a 8" Gs1100 headlight. Here's my 1000 with a police front end (wider than a normal Kz) and a 8" Gs light.


Keep up the awesome fabrication.

I'm 99% sure the 99-07 Busa share the same fork tube diameters for upper and lower triple clamps as the '01-03 Gsxr750/1000 but something makes me think the offsets are different.

check back through the post doug.he has the stock guage set on this upper tree.he has a picture of it on the bike.thanks for the info on the busa stuff.

OK ..Doug thanks for the headsup on the steering stops....that got overlooked....previously,I just welded stops on the neck where I needed them...but I am trying to make this a true bolt on set-up
I guess were just gonna have to build a bottom tree:)

it should allow the use of busa forks...and maybe others....basically limited to the O.D of the fork tubes at the two clamp locations (upper/lower).

and these will allow the stock guages to be run...and if we are lucky...I think that you will be able to set the guages at 4 different height and angle positions
stock angle&height
" " 1" lower

flat angle stock height
" " 1" lower


I have recieved several PM's in regards to a price for these ....It is my intension to price them as competitve as I can...
I would Like to know what you guys think they would be worth

top clamp /with bar mount
bottom clamp
stem
headlight bracket
polished or anodized

He's using a Z1 cluster. The Kz style mounts differently.

Z1 cluster looks like this...


Kz cluster looks like this...

Doug ...did they change in 76?
and were they the same till the gpz?
thanks

I think I have an extra set at home. Perhaps we can work out a trade of some sort?

The gauges changed in '76 when Kaw went to the Kz designation. The 650/750 Twins/900/1000 up to 1980-ish use the same mounting bracket I believe.

ahsa doug.thanks for the clarification,i did not know there was a difference.good lookin out.

Let me know what you need to make it happen Doug....I would send the bracket/guages back to you and we could work out some kind of deal on a set as payment/rent ( for the use of your guages)
