NICE! I'm seeing around 7 deg of rake? shocks relocated and a lot of taste! You nailed it there!
Mind me asking about the tripple trees? Who done them?

I'm picking up the Harley vibe on the trip trees and the stock Superglide/Sportster
headlight and aluminum cover.
Just me, but paint that front fender to match, take that name plate off the side cover
and it's done!

With all that rake and the extra trail from that leading axle front end I bet it loves going straight,cornering might be a little tough though B)

Its a 76 kz 900 motor with a 1000 head and 1015 cc JE pistons. Old style 28 vmsc carbs and good ignition. Other than that it is bone stock but runs very well. I love that marving pipe. Couldnt turn right with the vance & hines 4 into 1.

There from custom tripple trees (machine design). Cost was 800. but doing a rake this way reduces your trail to just an inch. I dont drag knees anymore so I made the sacrifice. It is actually 6 deg. rake with 1981 kz 1000 csr forks. The leading axle is not as good as the standard fork which would give me a little more trail. But it is what it is. It has the look I was after. This bike sits and feels like a 250.

I like your ideas, consider it done. Yea I used a sporty headlight but the trees were made by custom tripple trees (machine dsign) for a 1981 csr 1000 kawasaki. They have the look I was after but being honest it is better to cut and rake at the head. Doing it this way reduces you trailT to just one inch. Four inches being optimum. Thank for your input.

Yes it goes straight very well. It is a supreme cruiser. I thing the standard fork (not leading axle) would be the perfect set up. I will be working on that. Thanks for your intrest (Mike)
