You could also stick the bike in gear and place a 2 by four through the rear wheel and against the swingarm to lock it up.
Do not attempt with a spoked wheel!

I have managed to buy a set of 1100 Unitrak front calipers which seem to be a little scarce?
By checking the part numbers 43041-1185 I found that the other Kawasakis using these calipers were - ZX550A1/A2/A3, ZX750A2/A3 and ZX750Turbo.
Hope this helps someone.

Brazing was the method of choice for joining tubes in both cycle and motorcycle frames eg Reynolds 531 tube. Which was ud-sed in racing frames.

Does anyone have any specifics regarding this fitment? Photos?
I love the look of the Z1R tank, so have sourced a 21 litre one from Italy which should be here in a week or so. Cheers, Vin.

Hi Swampy - thanks for the reply, I had thought of using Roger Upperton in Leeds - as that is fairly close to me. I did not know that he did not do cranks any longer - so thanks for the heads up on that. Did you mean Chris Applebee Engineering in Essex? http://www.applebee.co.uk/contact.html It is a...

A related question to the 1170 kit.
Is it necessary to have the crank welded with a 1170 kit?
