Les holt... I believe I saw your bike at the mid ohio race track this year?? I also saw a green one similar not sure if that was you but thats why i decided to buy one and do the mods...NICE BIKE!!

We hit Lafayette often, not far north of me. Graduation is a very prestigous event at Purdue. I also have a few friends that work there.
You may have seen us at Mid Ohio, we did it this year, first year for us and it was a good one.

I finally got home tonight and headed to the barn to check out what i have. After measuring the front rotor it measured about 12.2 inches which i believe mean its the zx11C (90-92) front end... After examining the frame and VIN which is KZT00B5... I beleive i have a 1979 Kz1000 LTD frame. So that means i have a 79 1000 ltd frame 76 kz900 parts and a 90 zx11 front end... My swingarm is made for drag racing/ hard tail i believe because it bolts on. Does anyone know if there is anyway to use it with a suspension? if not i have the zx11 swing arm but not sure if i can make it fit.

my eyes arre pretty bad but yeah throwing some shocks under it ought to be pretty easy

If you need any parts for the ZX11 front end, I have them.
And you could pick them up on the way to or from school.

I live on SR 3, 3 miles north of SR 28, nine miles north of Muncie, and I'm in Portland a couple times a month

The swingarm can be modified to take bushings and a sleeve so it can be used with shocks, I have done a few.

I dont know if i have the ability to change the swingarm. I am thinking about buying an original swingarm and using the bushings tube and cutting the rest off and welding the back of my racing swingarm to the original tube. or if anyone has a pivoted swingarm they wanted to trade for my racing one i would be interested.

Does anyone know how wide the swing arm is. My dad had an extra H2 750 swing arm but it was to narrow to fit my bike. I believe my frame measured 9 1/8" or somewhere close to that across. Does that sound about right?
