Les...The pictures are showing up now...that arm looks awesome! When you have a chance, can you measure axle to axle?
Direct bolt to the KZ frame?

the only problem i see is that for the conversions it takes tools that not everyone has.
hyd. press,lathe,mill.
so that means that whoever is doing the conversion pieces would need to buy the triples and swingarms do the machine work and then sell them as bolt-on.
i have done several front end conversions and swingarm conversions for members to help them get there projects done.
but they buy the parts send them to me and i convert them and send them back as a bolt-on.
we have several talented members that have machining and fab abilities just find one that is close to or you like the most or ask someone else where they had their work done.
les holt,me,zed1015 in the uk.i am sure tomw would help someone out with some machine work if needed.
don't hesitate to pm these guys and ask for help or opinions.
if you see some mods on someones bike ask em who done it.
we are all here to help keep this whole kz addiction thing in high gear and
ON THE GAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
