Old Frame New Suspension
Posted: Wed Jun 03, 2009 1:44 pm
I have been offered most of a rolling chassis of a Z1B for a reasonable price but it needs serious money spent to get it back to standard. So my question is this.
What is the easiest way to put a front and rear end onto this frame from a more modern bike, I would prefer to use Kawasaki parts to keep it within the family so to speak. I need something that does not involve altering the frame to fit a swinging arm if possible, I realise that it would involve getting special sprockets for the rear and extending the top shocker mounts to match up to the wider arm etc. I really like the look of the ZRX11/1200 swinging arms, but as I like them I suppose they would be hard to fit
. Also is there any way that a front end would fit straight on the head stock with the donor bikes yolks being used.
Any help greatly appreciated
Thanks
