Can't believe I didn't notice this thread till now, GREAT job Baldy! I'm looking forward to watching your progress.

Are those Avon Roadriders?

If it has tits or tires, it'll give you problems!

Thanks guys, the tires are Avon roadriders never used them before I always used Dunlops but I heard good things about the Avons so I'll give them a try.
Thanks a bunch for the shocks Sandy, like I said they cleaned up great and look brand new.

Wow ! Beautiful work ! So envious

I just picked up an 82 GPz1100 and am contemplating the same thing. So I'll probably be bugging you with a lot of questions such as how much fabbing is there to mount the ZRX swingarm ?

I am using an 82 GPz750 frame. All I had to do for the swingarm was cut about 1" off the right side of the swingarm and turn two spacers on the lathe to get the stock bolt to work with the larger swingarm sapacer. It worked out nice looks factory.

Finally got around to repairing the Kerker KR pipe. I bought it years ago and discovered recently it was very rusty and leaked really bad at the collector. Cut it appart and welded it back up. Had to make a few modifications to get it to work with the ZRX swing arm. Here are some pics. I will be taking it to the powder coating shop to get it ceramic coated on Friday.
