I can't get the link to work, maybe because I'm using Firefox?
OK it worked in IE 6.

Randy,
That was a good slideshow. I saw your lines and realized you were checking your frame for straightness. I went back to see the rear view with the fender, and could see a twist. My 750 was crashed and has the same look, it's twisted. What was your final outcome with that?

I gave up on straightening it, its just the upper tail section, if the bike doesnt sell then i will have it bent back some day or cut it all off and Cafe it, dont really wantto do much more to it now that i have the 900 though.

Did you get the wheels to line up? How does it ride?

Nope , wheel still looks funny, I never took the time to machine the parts down. I just made sure the tires were straight with each other.

Runs & rides like its supposed to i guess, had it up to 90+ trying to keep up with Scumbag on his superhawk but was unable to match speed. Right now i have the rear tire out of line and its hard turning right. Will align it again when it stops raining.

But I actually just want it gone so i can put the $$ towards the 900 that i like much better. might even sell it also and get something way newer (zrx if i can) with all the proceeds. Just staying as close to KZ as possible. I am just tired of working on the bikes because my body cant handle it any longer (frown)

If your wheels are in the same line that seems good. Since my bike is a shaft drive, I don't know what I would do if I find out the wheels don't line up, you can't jockey a rear wheel around like you can with a chain drive, right?

here it is today after tinkering with the ignition wires and coils, giving them full contact instead of being loosened.

am I seeing things or did you pick the front up on the way back? I don't think my 1000 can do that? Maybe I don't know how :)

if i did it was only a fraction of an inch, i didnt notice.
Our road is somehat uneven.
i didnt get on it too much, the initial takeoff i spun the rear wheel and it got me nervous for some reason. I didnt expect it.
