Im now lost with the "new" forum. :roll:
so figured this was as good a place as any to show a pic or two.
I made new engine mounts,following the PDF files from the now sadly defunct OSS site. However,I need to move the engine forward about 20mm,so back to the drawing board. The motor and turbo are in loosely,but it gives me a rough idea of what it should look like.
(a big pile of sh*t,at the moment! lol).

This was this morning,with a USD front end. This afternoon I swopped over to a RWU front end,from a Yamaha Thunderace. The ktm wire wheel is just a temp thing. Im now undecided if I should stick with RWU forks or go back to USD's?
And for Jay,a sneak preview of one of the many wide wheels that seem to hide in my workshop. I know he likes fat wheels.lol.

In my defence,I do actually ride a kawasaki most days. A new fangled water cooled thing called a ZZR1100. They'll never take off though. Bloody rubbish. :lol:

Yes! that is the most un Kawasaki project ever to grace these pages.
The Bottom shed is at the bottom of the page in "off topic" and it should be confined to there if you must.

And it did have a green kawasaki wheel in the front too. Until I changed it. :D

Im just practising on this bike,as I do have an old steel framed four cylinder'd,Kawasaki in a garage somewhere. With a set of z1 bodywork stashed safely in the loft.....It will be modern with new fangled monoshock and USD forks. :shock:
