Anyone make one triple trees?
18 Dec 2013 11:32 - 18 Dec 2013 11:32
thinking about a front end mod and was wondering if any members cnc yokes with some drop. 77 kz1000 and 2000zx9 frontend. would consider fork extenders with a new thick top tree with the correct offset.

Les is machining god..... The 2000 ZX9 triples utilize 43mm RSU forks. I thought they are the same length as the ZRX forks? Is there a particular length you are looking for?

Please, don't do the raked tree's! Unless you're just putting around town and keeping the big MPH out of the pic they are a dangerous thing on these ole Kaw's!! PM me with your desires or needs and I'll help you if possible..

P.S. I do way more than trees!!!

That's good because contrary to what a few people think, these old bikes are at the very least "dangerous" at high speed. Rake and trail numbers are a little short for spirited passes and it can be corrected with the offset in the trees but not by changing the rake with the trees. If you're interested in getting more familiar with the why's and where fores drop me a message and I'll put you on to some good reading material or I'll do a phone conversation. Which ever way you choose, do your homework!
I get down right sick of "don't change perfection". If it were perfection, there wouldn't have been the next generation of bikes and so on which has led us to the ZX14's, and ZX''6's or what ever super flavor you like. There is always room for improvement!
