The parts selection is not random either. Larger pistons and heavy crank for more power down low so that I don't feel the need to get into the boost, and the larger turbo for more rpm range before it spools. Same for the stock head, smaller valves for torque and smaller ports for less power and more lag.

This bike is pretty wild in mild twistys and a dream on a smooth highway at 75mph.

I would use the HSR and modify a classic looking S&S Harley air cleaner to mask the look of the modern carb.

How long are your forks? They look way longer than the ones on my buddy's bike, but look like the same brand. He had to flip the two crescent wheel mounts upside down to get some alignment to work out right...but don't remember the details.

That looks like Miller's Honda Davidson! I knew the Z1 motor would be better.

A 1200cc turbo KZ with no front brake? You make have graduated out of the world of crazy into the world of suicidal. :unsure:

I don't know about the carb question, but my best constructive advice is that you seriously consider installing a front brake since that provides roughly 80% of a bike's stopping power. A bike that can go fast should also be able to slow down and stop fast. :) Ed

Loudhvx, my springer is an AMEN 20" over stock. Your buddy's is a Columbus springer, made in Columbus Oh where I live. My girlfriend's KZ400 has the same one, that is 8" over
