Frame bracing

13 Sep 2013 17:27

Scouting around and catching tidbits on different threads about frame bracing the KZ frames i'd like to start a thread just for frame bracing. Plus, i need help with frame bracing my own scooter.

Are all kz frames braced the same?

Can these parts be made in or very own shop ? Anyone have dimensions of bracing components ? Pics of braces and correct locations ?

There has already been quite a few threads just on frame bracing.
It's been done to death, a forum search should turn up all the info you need.
All the components ,tube or plate can easily be produced at home.

never hurts to ask.....some times the forum search bones me too...also the streetbike dragbike photos thread has goobers and goobers of pics with every type of bracing ever doen to a KZ,,,almost any type ever i bet is in that threads pics including diagrams....Z1enterprises.com as well as some other sellers have kits already done up ,that will save one tons of shopping cutting grinding measuring//recutting....fitting ...tweeking...in the end it would be worth it to me to buy a set...trim it here and there and ad some stuff to it on the fly.....money is time...i am not going to want to learn the ins and outs of bracing and become proficient at it...I just want to do "my frame" and forget about it

I used the Kosman Frame Kit on my latest project bike. See "KZ2" in my signature.
