I can't wait either, it's long over due. You won't need the glass's if we switch bikes now and then. I was doing a little measuring and it looks like the 18 in. police front wheel will work out WAY better. The police rotors slide right into the ZX7 calipers. Ths rotors are a littls smaller around but the should work fine. That rim is a little wider so I can run a 120 or 130 front tire so I'll be polishing the police rear wheel and a 150 out back.

I only had a couple of cars to work on today so I took the police wheels to work. They had some bad spots that I sanded with 80# to start and worked to 2000#. They polished up pretty good. It looks like I can some nice wide rubber on both ends.

Niiiiiice!

I don't know who's more excited about seeing this bike when it's finally done, you or me!

Thanks guys, I am getting exited about getting it together. I just had to put some things together and see it. It looks like after I make some spacers for the front rotors the big brakes well work on the 18 inch wheel. I also still have to make some new axle nuts to fit it to the ZX forks. I may get it going with my old back wheel as it's already polished. When I polish the wider police rear I put a bigger rear tire out back. Sorry about the bad lighting.

wooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!

Great job Mark .Keep the pics comingB)

Well I left my camera at work but I changed cases today. Now I have a motor to put on but I think I'm going to chrome the motor mount plates. The pix are mostly of how bad the cases got busted up. I should have the pix tomorrow.

I'm generaly NOT a fan of chrome, But I'm LIKIN' that swingarm! Outstanding work!
R4 gonna shi...uhmm...lemme see....he'll bust a.....nahhhhh....sounds like he'll get "excited" when he see's it all done and together.......

It's ok indy, I have a pair of water-proof riding pants that I can wear when I go to see Marks bike.

Thanks Indy, I have a polishing wheel in the shop so I've been having fun making it shinny. Also I have a deal with the wife that I'm making a little to nice to be a daley driver. But cruise nights and group rides are cool.

Water-proof? You know it almost never rains around here.

Here's the pix of my busted up old motor. It even cracked the rear lower mounting hole.

Will you be able to save the top end?

That's quite a bit of damage to the cases.

Yes just a small cracked fin on the head that can be welded real easy.
