Newbie Needs Advice
Posted: Sat Sep 22, 2012 12:28 pm
I recently acquired a 1981 Z1000J, and I'm about to start tearing it down for a re-build, but I need a plan
I need some sage advice and wise counsel
Part 1 of the plan is to fit 17 inch wheels and tyres - or am I wasting my time?
If I go ahead with this mod, what is the best recommended replacement forks and swing arm ??
Ive heard that the JMC swing arm is highly recommended (but their website is down)
Do the early ZX6 or ZX10 forks, brakes and wheels fit or can they be modded to fit
Can the speedo drive be recalibrated for the smaller wheels
so many questions
