a custom fabbed aluminum belt cover with holes and lexan over each pulley would be cool.

Sweet. How did you know how to delete the relays? When I did this one the TR-1 I used the wiring diagram with a forum post of instructions, more or less.


You only need a relay if you are switching a current that is more than the switch gear can handle
e.g starter motor, twin headlights etc.

As for the choice of wheels discussion the widest a std Zed frame will take whilst keeping the wheel true central is a 5.5 inch rim e.g, zx636,Z750,zx7r,zx9 etc .

With a 5/8 offset sprocket the measurement from swingarm spindle center (chassis/wheel center line) to the inside face of the sprocket is 101mm which usually equates to approx 8mm off the rear wheels sprocket carrier to align the chain.

A zx10r rear is 6 inch and won't fit unless it's offset which i think is bad practice.
If you want better/quicker handling rather than pose value go for a 170 rear tyre.
The ideal set up is 5/8 offset front with 19teeth, 530 pitch to get max clearance between the chain,frame and swingarm.
The original zeds final gearing is 2.2 to 1.
To compensate for the smaller 17" rim use 1.92 to 1 for the closest equivalent.

The swingarm on the supercharged bike just looks like a stock arm with an extra tube brace welded underneath and then painted silver.

I believe the zx6r rear wheel is 1/2" narrower than the zx10r. At least, the '04 -'05 one's are. It made it a little easier to get the chain inside the frame and past the wheel/tire. You can still use a 180mm tire.

We used a zx6r rear wheel and a whole zx10r front end on my KZ. :)


Ok good to know. Do you have pics of your bike in thread somewhere?



Sure, I've got a few pics. :)

















There are a few others if you need some detail, but that's pretty well it. I also run a 5/8" offset sprocket (see pic) and an idler wheel to keep the chain off the swingarm bottom brace. There is a mylar strip on the top of the swingarm (see pic), and it's needed!! ;)

Hope that helps some. :)

Very innovative head work.
You might want to install some SS braided brake lines, and it appears that your rear rotor has a decent size groove worn into it... I'm wondering how your brake pads are also. The stock Z1 KZ brakes are OK at best... let alone having a blower thrown into the equation :laugh: . A set of super bike bars or clip-ons would really inspire confidence also.

Someone spent alot of time and resources into your bike... I like the direction your headed with a super bike / cafe influence.

It almost looks like your pipe has been ceramic coated (hard to tell from a pic though). The new oil coolers available are much larger and make a noticeable improvement over the older ones.

Can you post more pics of your swingarm? I've never seen a Calfab with that type of extruded alum. tubing before... maybe it's a one off?

Regards, Doug


Ya he did, he spent lots of money on the bike. Back in 84 I think, he said the supercharger with all the "required" pieces cost him $3500! Pretty crazy. Engine parts were in the thousands. Judging by his receipts be blew the motor in the 90s once, there was another list of engine parts from the 80s I didn't list, thus why its 1045 now.PS. Anyone know what the snowflake does?? Yup it is ceramic coated there is a receipt for it. I will be painting it black. Sure I will add pics.

It was powder coated silver. I think he may have sent it to Calfab to re-enfornce as there is calfab docs in the folder.

On the Yamaha 2 out of 4 realys were for safety things that I deleted, thats why I was asking.

Hey that's really helpful info on the wheels and the final drive. I would prefer the 5.5 anyways.

But I did fall in love with these wheels but I would get them powdered gold; Aprilia RSV wheels. I was able to find a complete set of forks, breaks, trips, etc. But I'm not sure if that's venturing into no mans land of endless fab work..

The snowflake is the lock-up clutch mechanism that is bolted to the clutch pressure plate.

That makes sense now, thanks.

Update: Beneli body parts are in transit, Ive still figuring out the the wheels forks swingarm brakes stuff. I have been on ebay trying to get all the parts from one bike type to keep it simple but having difficulty in making sure I get a good deal while still in getting them all at the same time. Currently looking at zx6, zx10,zx14 as the 6 spoke wheels to me are the most attractive.

An issue is I'm not a fan of the squid swing arms (zx's) and favour the gsxr and busa look though as it resemble more stock like.
