a 1428 and nitrous to turn it!:S
just kidding you are in for a major boatload of work and lots of money to make it work though up to a 180 can be done with a little work once you pass that point you are into serious fabrication;)

Well Im Looking into a rigid frame from cycleone and I understand pmfronline makes offset sprockets for kz's but I dont know anyone that has used them. I'd like to do this w/o a jackshaft if possible but all the metric chops ive seen that wide have had jackshafts.

if you are using a frame thats already set up for it thats half the battle then put your back wheel in and figure out what it takes to connect it to your driveline;)

trac dynamics $ells 240 kit$ with no jack shaft and 300 kits with for the new sport bikes. if a stock sport bike swingarm and wheel can be made to fit a kz, i dont see why their kits wouldnt be able to as well. you could buy one from them, or just copy their design:evil:
or: copy the drag bikes that run the wide slicks and just put a street tire on the wider rim

OK, do they sell offset sprockets alone? this is for a hardtail frame so I don't need the swingarm. I cant seem to open the page, do you have a link?
