Harry-
So I'm not first to think of that
Anything other than Ford 9" popular?
Would LSD be beneficial? deadly?
On your bike, those couplings in the middle of the half shafts. What the heck are they?
Not ready for a trike here. BUT have looked at some of those morgan 3 wheelers using shaft drive MC engine in front. Wonder how one would work out with kawasaki four?

These couplings are being used to temporarily shorten the shafts. Said shafts will be replaced with resplined shortened shafts after a period of testing.

I do not know if makers are now using other than the Ford.

My son has a number of used independant suspenstion rearends from Jaguar's.
I am thinking of using a modified rearend of an XKE with a shaft drive MC to make another. I may do this if I am fortunate enough to have a few more birthdays.

The Guzzi pic was my fault, I should have paid more attention :blush: :blush: :blush:

harry you are an evil geniusB) it was guys like you that beat this stuff into my head when i was younger hopefully some of the younger guys will get a chance to to learn something from you if they are smart enough to listen:)

I really want to thank all of you that have viewed and/or responded to this project.It gives me great pleasure.

I know that this project may be out of place on this forum but I really enjoyed doing it and am vain enough to want to show it off.

I realize that this sort of thing may traumitize those "purest of purists" that only recogonize the original factory paint and the first riders residual odor on the saddle but it is the best I can do at my age. I sincerly apologize if I have offended any of them.

THANK YOU,
Harry

I would like to see the pictures but I can't, says login and I don't have the stuff to get in there, but I will say the white one is super

And well it should - y'dun good.

Why, oh *_why_* should anyone think it would be out of place?

It's a KZ, it's an outstanding implementation of a relatively rare form of the breed, and it required one hell of a lot in blood, sweat and tears to get it "right" and get it on the street.

Any bloody twit that has the unmitigated gaul to be "traumatised" by the result you've achieved needs their head examined - right between the drive sprocket and the track guides of a Cat D9.

NEVER apologize to fools - they'll take you seriously.

Maybe photobucket was having problems when you tried? I just clicked on the link and seen the slideshow, and I know others have also.

Slide does not work for me:(

The liks Harry posted at the begining of the thread work. The quoted links do not work because joomlaboard mangles the URL in the quote.

Don't kill a 250R for that. Those things arent easy to find...
