Sorry, forward controls? I am not a native speaker of English but I think you mean the grey tubes that form the frame that hold the shock (topend)

If so, I have made them myself. Bought some tubing, pick up a grinder and of you go :)

Looks nice, your project. Frame is a bit different then mine though. Which frame are you using? FYI I use a ZXR400 swingarm and a Yamaha R1 USD front.

Quit a machine you have there :) By the way, mine is a mix up of many parts and not a Z1R ;) Frame is Z650, Engine is Z750. Tank...duh... Tail Z1000 etc... :)

I Thought that tail looked a little funny, nice combo though. I miss my lil' KZ650, I used to drag those footpegs everywhere. Your gona' have fun with that.

I did some research on these bikes. Did anyone notice that they are bolt on mono shocks and mounts. Not to sure about that but Klasmo site sells them in a kit.

Nothing better then a DIY project :) But tried to have a sneak peak at their website. Doesn't seem to exist anymore (?)

Here's some pics of mine. I've put about 5000 miles on it with no complaints whatsoever. The build (with a lot more pics) can be found here:

Feel free to ask any questions- I'll be as helpful as I can!

Hey guys. Not to 'jack this thread but this site has been nothing but great. You guys do some great stuff. I've noticed that some of you guys use the gsx-r swingarms and some use ninja swingarms. Which ones fit best?
