Does such a thing exist.
Need one for the front end of the J to get shot of those nasty sleeve nuts on a 15mm pipe-cleaner they call a spindle.
Needs to have 225 mm beneath the head plus enough thread to get the nut on.
240mm ish overall i would guess.
Anything about?

are you using the standard wheel & forks ?

Standard Z1000J forks and a non standard front wheel.
The spacers that fit inboard of the legs will be shouldered as they are now to prevent the legs moving together.
The main aim is to get a larger diameter spindle and since the bearings as standard have a 25mm internal diameter there is room enough for tinker time.
Bearing outside diameter is 52 mm so no option but to sleeve as bearings dont come in 52 outer and 15 inner so some sort of sleeving will have to take place somewhere.
These wheels come with bearing reducers as standard but they are missing so more tinker time for me as a necessity.

22mm dia, but not sure if the other dims work for you. From a late model GSXR600 I believe.

I've a 20mm spindle thats 300mm long Al .
Apart from being the wrong diameter and length it'd be perfect

Misled you there sorry.
Araldite is our family's name for my mums apple crumble.
Have used it to repair the drive here and its still going strong four years later.
