Ordered the RS 34 flat slide today.

Will keep you posted on how things go.
I can tell you that the customer service

at Dynoman is first rate so far.

Lights are next. :license plate, and I am on the road.

Cool, you'll have to let us know how it turns out. I am putting my engine back together with 1015 pistons and APE 410 cams. I am going to use the stock carbs for now but I want a bigger set.

Mikuni RS 34mm flatslides are going on order tomorrow.
The old carbs are ok, but I am just tired of screwing with them.

This stared as your stock ltd.. I stripped it down and away I went.. The tank has been hammered in " where the purple maker is" .. I have renthal fatty bars mounted. Brake perch from the 04 kfx250 along with the seat an foot pegs.. The sing arm an shock are off the 86' xl600 great fit! Did have to cut down a wheel spacer to fit the ltd wheel in the swing arm.. All so the swing arm extended it about 2". Removed to belt train.. Will have it chain drive... Rear frame had about a inch removed up by the tail light mount. Have not yet removed all tabs... Will be cutting off the sub frame an rewielding it to fit the seat better.. Will update as I go.. Thanks for looking

Understand that the KZ900s are worth some money stock. I don't tell anyone what to do with their bike. I mention this because often times the passenger pegs get in the way of a wider swing arm and need to be cut of. Once you start cutting the restore is out the window. Just my 2 cents. I'm not positive if the KZ900 is the same as the KZ1000 as far as the swing arm goes. if so the 89ish GSXR swing arm is a bolt on with some spacers. I am able to get a 170/60/17 on my 77KZ1000. Others here will chime in and get you some specific details.

Good luck!

Anybody have any updates on this project or Boostable? I am loving what he is doing especially the rear swingarm work which I am getting ready to do myself. I am getting a similar swingarm off of a 2005-6 GSXR 600 and want to know where he got those bushings. Are you out there yet Boost?

yep and so are the swingarm bushings. I have gained a ton of weight since I put this thing together and was a little concerned with the flex of the swingarm (side to side) but bushings show no wear and no play

I'm off today its supposed to be 70 degrees and I really would rather be riding than cleaning LOL
a day off and gorgeous weather is a really rare for me. time to get off the computer and make the most of it!!!

One more thing. I'm going to be using goldwing shocks. Will I need the the mounting hardware for the clevis joints on the lower end of the shocks from a Golwing or the gs 1100e?

Thanks again 650ED.

If any of you have done the gs1100e swingarm conversion I need some info. I doubt the factory chain will be long enough, how many links did you have on the new chain with the longer swingarm?
