They are widening the frames in order to fit a swing arm and 200 mm tire. Very technical, very cool. They have that sick looking race kz with the ohlins suspension:P
I have translated their sight but can't quit work out were they are cutting, bending, and weld.

Regardless of where, this type of surgery is expensive to pay for. Secrets make them money...
Don't expect them to open Pandoras Box to much.
I’ll have to poke around on the site again and see what these guys are up to.

Better to be shot out of a cannon then squeezed through a tube. - HST

But who says yours doesn´t turn? Eddie had no modern rims/tires/ohlins when he dragged knee back in early ´80´s
Bigger rear rim is no space science. Probably one of the easiest swaps is GSXR 750 / 1100 ´89-90 swings. The 1100 swing goes to ELR / J 1000 and GPz1100 (and probably othe¨res too) with no modifications on frame. Then get a rim like ZX-9R and stuff it in and you´ll have a 180 tyre.
It ain´t a one-niter but not too big a work either

I guess the reason I don't corner well is because I am in Tampa and turn every 5 miles with no real curves. :huh: :huh: .

You are right Z1109R! And may I complement you on your bike, it's outstanding! I chose my bike because I plan to modify it simular to yours, mine is mismatched and ugly but has a good engine. (daily rider)
I guess the reason I don't corner well is because I am in Tampa and turn every 5 miles with no real curves. :huh: :huh: .
Thanx for the compliment, but I have to say that pic makes it look way cleaner than it really is:P
Been to Florida once and yeap, those roads are just boring but the Miami-Key West was just great. But no curves really:huh:
