Z1R Custom

Looks good Les. Did you make a custom key or tool that fits the eccentric adjusters?

Thanks again guys but it does get better. rslingshot, as for adjustment, I had considered broaching a hex in them but decided after playing with it on the bike you can just use the nut on the axle. The eccentrics are graduated ever 10 deg so I set them at zero, their farthest forward position locked down, installed the rear wheel and axle, tightened it up then loosened one eccentric and could not manage to adjust it without loosening the other one. The other 2 holes in the eccentrics are just weight reduction holes.
I haven't weighed it yet but it feels lighter than the ZX6R and busa arms I have in the shop now.

beau---tiful!!! hell should've had you drive to evansville and laugh at my welding today

Goofed up. Had to edit post.

Final pics before powder coat. Going black to match frame and chain guard going silver to give the look of aluminum. Eccentrics getting gold anodized. Maybe new shocks to enhance the look are in order. Thinking of going black with chrome springs.

That's a work of art man. Cant wait to see what's next

Well it's back on the bike painted. Guy couldn't powder coat it, wouldn't fit his oven and I needed this thing off the lift so, rattle can for now. Mounted up with the new progressive shocks. Z1E sent me a nice big box today so now I can get pretty work done on some other areas.

Hey, I dig that paint job on your bike. Reminds me of a butterfly in a cocoon. Very unique.

gotta get that remote mounted taillight sucked back up now :lol: .
