If I don't get pulled away this evening, I'll be boxing these up tomorrow and shipping them to ya early next week. How's that for a fathers day? The rod sticking up is the billet stem.

P.S. Leon, did you get a chance to get any measurements? I've allready used up the material so I'll have to order more, I may have 4 sets done tomorrow evening.

It isn't pic size unless they have taken them to zero. I can go anywhere and post pics but here for the last few days, this is the slowest site I visit. May be on my end but it doesn't seem so. Just here. I'll get it! You may have your parts Ram before I get them posted but I'll get it!

Great! I'm betting 210mm spacing and 26mm offset on the 636 tree but still wouldn't hurt to measure them. Only differences I'm finding is in fork diameters all the way from 97 to 2011 models. Tonight I'm getting the fogbuster mister hooked up on the mill so no chippys unless it goes well.

Re: Thrown together to ride til winter

well pretty busy day bought a car for tmy girls 16 yr old daughter needed a
timing belt put it on naturally its off a tooth on the exhaust side (DOHC)
Ceared some chrome and grabbed my tail fin off the KZ to dry fit and wire.
got the new light wired
tip for aftermarket lights I use my battery charger on 2 amp to check the light
then wire to KZ plug (for which their is a diagram)
I tried using some epoxy to make a lip for the tabs to fit in to no avail so I
filed a small groove along the lip of my fin and it is tight enough it almost
clps in. (I angled the mounting bracket wen I made it to give the light the
correct orintation)
here are some phone pics of my dry fit my camera is acting up
still need a better license plate bracket but with all the Chrome training and
domestic duties my KZ has been in the middle of my priority list (rapidly moving
back to the top)
