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 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.

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?
1979 Suzuki GS1000
1978 KZ1000 LTD
1977 kz1000 A1
1978 Kz1000 a2
