Working on my seat got some awesome Leather- might MOD the rear frame a little-





ANYONE know about the 530 conversion front sprocket DOES NOT LINE UP with the rear LOL its off alot-
its a 190 rear tire- 530 conversion. i think 41t on the rear. i bought a 17t a long time ago an put it on. its 530 they just dont LINE UP at all LOL so anyhelp would be sweet- LMK what you guys think
ill keep yall up dated when im out in cali


I KNOW I KNOW one of the LEDS went anddd the underline for the plate on my 01 zx9 smoked taillight- BUT HOW WELL does that fit! lol bracket so easy to make- Used the stop one cut the bottom off an used the VERY last hole in my stock chrome wrap fender that was on it. an then trimed the fender up!

I'm going to warn you now about the mirrors. 1st you can find them cheaper, 2nd they look great and work well, however I had to fix mine 1 week after install. Right out of the package one was loose. Day 2 of riding one of the rattled right off while on the highway I was lucky to catch it. The mirror is screwed to the base from behind the glass so you can not tighten them. I had to bore out the threaded holes, remove all the paint in the contact area and use aluminium epoxy. After I did that I have not had a single issue. They are stable and practically no vibration.

I also found that flipping them over so they are above the bars make it so I can see easily over my elbows.

yaa i ended up getting a set for 17$ an they were a little cheap but i did alittle bit of mods to them lastnite as well. Added a Lock Washer- an Really tighted them. an YOU are right Kaw-a-holic-! they look way better flipped up! just did that myself

THanks for the Post~

You have a really nice build going there. I'm a little jealous. I want to widen my front and rear end but its a lot of work. I just want to ride this year. I spent all last summer getting it road worthy after I purchased it in May.
Keep up the great work and keep the pics coming.

Very nice. Love the paint and wheels, go together perfect. Big plus on your model too. :woohoo:

I am running a 5.5 rim with a 180 tyre. It all lines up using a 5/8 offset front sprocket.
You might need to machine the sprocket carrier so as the chain runs closer to the tyre. Otherwise you will need to chop a fair bit of the frame.
I run my chain within a couple of millimeters of the tyre and it passes the frame within the same.
The frame has not been modified for the chain line but it has only taken the paint off.
No problems after 10000 k's and over 250 kph. It is geared as tall as possible.
17t 5/8 offset sprocket and a 38t 530 rear sprocket.

on your sprocket issue.
break out the string,(or laser) and measure what the offest is between your rear sprocket and your front sprocket.

once you figure that out,gimme a holler and i can take an old kz sprocket and your new one and fab them to have the desired offset.

here is one i have done,for ramtough.






i love the look of your paint(have i said that before :lol: )you nailed the stance,really nice.
