They are not a direct bolt on though. There is alot of fab work that is required. So really, you can make almost anythign fit anything else with the right amount of work and will. IF you cant do it yourself take it to a fabrication shop and Im sure they would do it for you.

95 zx6 front forks are a direct swap into the 650 frame, other than the bearings and races. I'm using the running gear from that year zx6 to do a similar build on one of my 77 650s.

those units are all fine and dandy, But it still leaves to problem of how the actual speed is going to be calculated. There is no cable drive unit on my 636 front end.....Im very stumped here

those speedo's i posted use either a magnet to send the speed sensor info,

and one has a built in gps to calculate the speed so all will work without a traditional speedo cable..

just read up about them bro....

perfect. thanks.

Yes sir doing fine. The acewell guage that Kano posted has all kinds of adapters I'm kinda leaining in that direction as they have an adapter that will run off the speedo drive as on my front end the speedo drive doubles as a wheel spacer. The guage is still electronic but get converted. Kinda cool. Have you made any more progress with your bike?

OMR has the acewell and he did a whole writeup on it in the projects section last time i talked to him about it he was happy with it.

Finally got my Swing arm axle back from my buddy. He machined up a sleeve and pressed it into the existing axle. I throw up some pics tonight.

I am in the process of mocking up my solo shock postioning. Anyone who has done the solo shock conversion, did you find you needed shorter suspension links? My wishbone looks like it hangs low.

My kind of project!

love what your creating! i have the acewell on my streetfighter and i love it. very compact and does what i need it to, it also was one of the cheaper i could find

Here's a pic from wonder customs, a company in Texas making some cool bikes. I am using the seat model as inspiration for an upcoming build.
