Already got the biggest that will fit on the front ( 19t 530 pitch ). And any bigger on the back will make it ride like a dirt bike with no hope of keeping the front wheel on the ground :)

Beautiful bike and workmanship. You've done very well to get your Drouin blower working properly, I've been around long enough to remember the howling from the all the folks Tom Drouin ripped off and who couldn't get theirs to run!
Zippy mentioned lawsuits and postal fraud- that's all true.

I see your avatar is Moriwaki - always had a thing for very fast blue Z's too lol - saw Eddie Lawson ride his Z1R road race bike at Daytona one year.

Again, very cool bike.Congrats on the mag article too!

Hi Jack, I remember the hand written ad in street chopper, pre- hotbike mags. A small ad in the back of the mag, 1/16 of a page.

Jim Mangus has some pulleys and belts sitting under his bench. for the past 20 years.

I know of a complete setup in Buffalo, of the druin supercharger. I posted a picture 3 years ago in this forum.

This one had an injection throttle body under the seat.

Jack, have you talked to Puppet at all ?

Z1KZonly - I haven't been to Puppet's in a long time,he's been in very poor health for the past couple of years, in and out of hospital. Mangus is another guy I have not spoken with in many moons . A real pair of characters from Kenmore.
