More goodies, could not resist buying the green chain.

I also go so handle bar risers.

Great looking goodies Jon! Hope to see the complete refreshed package at the Relay Rally!

Jon, that is looking Fantastic!!!
I sure hope you get that bike back together before the Rally, as you need to take part in the relay/ rally after the Deer incident. Hopefully you can bring the Flag to the Rally!! That would be Awesome!!
Hopefully you have been able to deal with the summer heat down in AZ, and it will get Hotter!!! :whistle:

LOL, the heat here is no joke. I work in it every day as I am a Directv installation technician. It's a tall order to get the bike done. I may get it back together and ride worthy but it may not be done. It will pick up speed once the frame is braced. My shelves are loaded with parts just begging to be installed.

That's the ONLY way I'll do it from now on!

Shocks arrived today. They are RFY shocks but I found some that were 13.5" and have 8.5 mm springs. Had them sent straight to Chris Livengood to have them rebuilt. He put proper oil in them and a could of other goodies. He then filled the with the proper amount of Nitrogen. Can't wait to see how they handle. I like the original ones I had but they were stock and had smaller diameter springs.

I'm toying with the idea of putting a quarter fairing on my bike like the one in the pic. I think it is a modified Z1R fairing from Airtech part # Z1R4

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationi believe that you will find they used this fairing

my dad is currently painting one for his kz650 :laugh: .
they are alot like the gpz fairings.

but,
that airtech fairing you linked to is a really cool fairing and would look right at home on your bike(or any kz).
can't go wrong either way.

Thanks Leon! That is the one and it is cheaper. They also have a nice chin scoop I like. Thanks again for the link.
Hey Leon are you a CNC machinest? I need to make a caliper stay for my rear caliper. My year of caliper does not match my swing arm. All it needs is a block of aluminum with a grove cut in the center for the caliper to slide into. the block will be welded to the inside of the swing arm.

If anyone else has a solution to this please let me know.

i can manually machine the part you need.
i am currently doing this same modification for a fz1 swingarm on a kz1000.

I will send you some measurements soon. Thank you.

That cylinder head turned out fantastic...whom did you use to get it that clean?
