KWACKERZ1, thats very interesting :|

Is it true they delivered the 'kit' on a full size, reinforced pallet :?:

Probably add another 20lbs to the bike :shock:

Great stuff, very useful tho, :wink:

hi, don't think i am going to get this z. its to much of a bitzer! wheels are spoked with alloy rims, metamex arm, dont think the forks are right ones ect. so i dont think they will fetch much when i sell them as i will be using modern running gear. might be better getting a frame with logbook and body work and using my bandit as a donor bike. how much would a frame cost?

Getting a few parts together for the big build now. Brand new GSXR1000 forks, radial mount calipers, and yolks. GSX 1400 rear wheel and front wheel, 2.4 style seat, yamaha swingarm, renthal fat bars. Got to make a longer stem, extend forks and internals by 50mm machine hub down 6mm and take 20mm off swingarm then i will be able to start!! :D Image
