That one took me a minute to understand patton, :laugh: If I were to carry those around I wouldn't be needing to plan for the wedding this fall. Don't think she would buy that excuse. I'm still laughing over that one.
Thanks Leon, Wasn't planning on using some of my stashed parts but glad I did. I got rearsets and shifter lined out last night but that rear brake is killing me. I'm trying to keep the master cylinder tucked back up where stock one was, just need to get linkage to it.

No pics but got the rear sprocket hub cut down, rear caliper bracket modified for a brace and the brake linkage figured out. Went to put carbs on to see if the ZX6 cables would work only to find I've lost an intake manifold somewhere, anyone got an extra 34mm intake manifold? Hate to buy a whole new set. I might very well have this done by mid March. :woohoo:

Wow Les, that bike is awesome. I'd keep the paint, it's killer.
What did you do to the rear sprocket hub? I'm looking at doing that too.
How far away from the tire is your chain now, and what size chain are you using?
You did tell me to keep the questions coming :lol:

I took a 1/4" off the surface where the sprocket mounts, Chain is a little close for my liking but I'll grind a little off the tire for added clearance. Chain is 530 non o-ring dragrace chain but going to 520 when finished.

For anyone perhaps unaware, changing from 530 to 520 will gain 1/16" additional clearance between the chain and tire.
3/8 - 2/8 = 1/8 รท 2 = 1/16
A non-o'ring chain, where feasible, may be slightly narrower in either size.
Good Fortune!

Took it outside to get some pics and an overall view of its stance. May end up lowering it some more to get what I want but it isn't too bad right now. That rear fender has got to go and I don't think a different light is going to hurt either.
