Hi All,
Sold my Harley in September and picked this bike up from my dad in October. The bike had not ran for two years, got bike running and rode until snow fell in Minnesota. Have been busy updating frame, suspension, wheels, brakes, & wiring since start of December. All comments are welcome and appreciated. Thanks for all of the great posts, I have learned a lot in the last 30 days and really enjoy the Forum.
Cheers
Rick

Front end is 2001 ZX6
Front Wheel is 2005 zzr600
Rear Wheel is 1999 ZX6
I had a local machine shop help me with the stem/lower triple tree and shim for rear swing arm bolt. Will not get the frame back from powder coater until mid Feb, will post additional pictures durning final assembly.
Bracket looks great and thanks for the kind words.

Cheap and effective head light mount for larger fork tubes using exhaust tubing and stock headlight brackets.
Drilled out welds and expanded stock bracket.
Cut to desired length & welded stock bracket to exhaust tube.
Will post updated picture after paint.
