dont get me wrong...you will learn tons from the crashes too...

ive had a battle with road rash on my last build. i dont know if you guys remember, but i put a XJ 550 maxim motor in a polaris 250 frame. never got around to getting the brakes done.......12 beers later i got cocky and punched it in second gear in my old coldesack. front tires grabbed the road and threw me over the bars wearing nothing but flip flops and shorts. i learned my lesson.


watch the tail pipe....


like i said, no brakes.....

now i know you know this...but this is the #1 rule......

NEVER get on the bike after even 1 beer imo......


i am not kidding...............


fear is lowered by the first beer.......


fear is a silent unseen angel on my shoulder.....

you can killed or even worse,crippled really bad....read...spoon fed vegtaable...im not kidding

smoke a joint and ride if you must....

but even one beer can kill you if it gets you on a motorcycle.....sorry to rant but im super sure on this one...

i know not to drink on bikes anymore....

well by the looks of the back steering berm on the other clip you will be fine on the kz.....

just remember weed makes you peaceful and slow and happy


booze makes you bullet proof....

and this is the dampening adjuster?

If those are 1996 forks, the ride height is the aluminum adjuster with the two flats. The brass screw is to adjust the damper rod.

Not all years had the ride height adjusters. You'll ultimately want the ride height adjusters cranked down to next to last mark [or there abouts]. They work great

Here's all you need to know about 7's

wow, thanks Larry. its acually a 2000, but 96-03 were the same.

i think once i get my triple back from Leon and get the front suspension on i will focus on the motor mounts.

larry. it looks like before i get all my motor mounts done i need to get my 5/8" offset sprocket so i can line the sprocket/motor up with the rear sprocket, since the swing arm is fastened? does that sound right?

and will my stock kz rear sprocket work?
how many teeth should i get for my 5/8" offset sprocket?
