Z1000A1 NEW PROJECT WHEELS AND FORK HELP REQUIRED!!!
Posted: Mon Feb 25, 2013 7:52 am
Hi chaps I’m back 
looking for a little direction and advice, ive got another A1 project which has been on the back burner, but i'm now ready to crack on with it
The plan is to build a fairly standard looking zed twinshock with more up to date 17†wheels, forks and brakes, may be along the lines of piggy’s
It came as a job lot in box’s [in complete] needing a total nut and bolt rebuild, it came with a zxr750 front and rear wheels [the rear is180mm] forks yokes and brakes, it ’s also has a zephyr 1100 swing arm which seems to be possibly two wide to suit the frame and suspension set up I’m unsure if this set up will work with ride height/clearance etc.
I’ve looked at various projects where up side down forks have been used and extended to give ride height to compensate for smaller wheels, but I don’t think that would an option with the zxr forks.
I’ve looked at some gsxr 750 forks on flea bay but not sure if this would be a better Option as for the swing arm
Your thoughts greatly appreciated regards Alan
