Here are some Germany Kawasaki bikes with your wheel/tire ( up to max. 12.5“wheel ) and swing arm setup. www.rf-biketech.com/galerie/kawasaki/ My 1975 Z 1 B 900 Project www.kzrider.com/forum/11-projects/605133...ears-deep-sleep-mode Attachments:

Not so worried about cornering. Its a 300 and ill ride it occasionally but not so much up through the mountains. Once in a while a trip to the dragstrip. It was alot of measuring, trial and error to get it to work with original twin shock setup instead of mono shock or struts. Every nut bolt and washer is new. Very meticulous on this build.

It's gonna be just as meticulous. 1327 with 83 84 gpz1100 Cavanaugh head, Delkovic stainless front section header only, Mikuni 38s, mtc snowflake lockup. I even found a Canadian non smog cam cover and chromed it, and air shifter with air in that swingarm.
