Just to say, I'm pleased, I do wish I had stretched it another 2 inches but it looks pretty good as is.

Okay, a little updating and thanks for the compliments!
I've got some good miles on it and it has been pretty flawless! I haven't had the first issue other than keeping it clean. What changes I'm making is purely for me other than it is still a little rich at idle and just off idle but I haven't addressed it yet, maybe this weekend. The ride is a little rigid so I'm changing out the ZX10 linkage to ZX6. Maybe it will help this thing hook which has been my biggest complaint but it's very stable and predictable when doing it. Although it's fun as hell it's only going to get worse when the spray goes on. Also changing out the back tire to the shinko 003 when I do the linkage. The steering is pretty lazy and kinda wants to snap over when trying to turn around but at speed it's better than the old kaws but no sport bike. Between the 5 deg. rake and low offset trees, it may have been a little too much. Now I'm thinking about another set of trees with more offset. Performance wise ain't bad either, I have to take off like grandma or the tire is gone. It doesn't seem to have a problem hitting the rev limiter in 5 gear at all and gearing is 18/38. I started with the limiter set at 8,500 but I'm up to 10,000 now, still making power but that's as high as I'm going. OH, and them brakes are the cats meow! This thing stops on a dime.
So to wrap it up in a nut shell, I'm ready for the relay, I trust this thing anywhere!

Ram, I'll let you ride this thing when we hook up for the relay. For what's in it i'ts the nastiest 1075 I've ever rode. Top end was purpose done for nitrous and it seems to work really well even without the spray. What I should really do is leave this thing alone and start either on the turbo or the 75Z1 but we are back on the house again and those 2 projects deserve more attention than I could possibly give them.

Had a chance to hook up with Ram and do some riding, turned out to be a great day! Not many miles but a good time none the less. Big thing is we managed to work up a game plan for running the 19" front wheel with the ZX forks. Mocked up the fork/wheel assembly and got most of the spacers made. Worked out pretty slick!
Some pics after we finished our day.
