Hey guys. its been 2 years had a police bike got it running and had to sell. I was left with the KZ bug and got my 77 kz1000last summer. its been a slow process Since $$$ is harder to come by these days this is what she looks like right now, still not been on the road hoping with your encouragement and support i could get in some riding before this season is over.

right now i am looking for quotes on getting a cnc top tree clamp W/drop 3 to 4 inches. sine i lost ride height with my 91-92 gsxr front end swap. I also have a gs1100 swinger with the matching front gsxr wheel.

If you drop it that low how will you go around turns without dragging bits and pieces? :unsure:

I get the impression he is wanting trees that will lower the forks, not raise them to lower the bike, Am I right?

Would it be easier to get longer inner (lower) fork tubes from Forking by Frank?
