Never one to be bored, I have decided to build a endurance replica to go with my ELR. I have quite a few parts left behind from my previous rebuild, so hopefully keep the cost down(well that's what I will tell my wife).
Got a frame from Duanne(thanks), a bit rusty and needs a weld but ideal for my project
The frame will be braced and unwanted brackets removed and oil cooler and frame brackets manufactured and welded on

Like it, I love the 80's enduro style, some great picture on the Performace Kawasaki page on Face Book.

Al, plan to get them welded and reinforced, not overly fussed about them.

Not really sure yet, got an idea in mind. It will definitely have a endurance fairing and I may get a tank fabricated to suit the look. It will be twin shock and will use a zephyr swinging arm. I aim to use standard forks with billet yokes and AP brakes as they are cheap and work very well. I have a pair of A3 wheels that look good, just need to get my disc centers changed to suit the 4 hole mounting.
Engine wise hopefully a 1170, the head will go away to Simon's Dad to be gas flowed.
I have alot of parrd left over from my last build, so hopefully I will create some space in the garage.

Cheers, I think they will be a bit to long forecast I have in mind. I have a set of forks but one side has been machined for some reason. It did have a homemade spacer fitted between the Speedo drive and fork leg

Just roughly positioned the Zephyr swinging arm, I will need to make some new spacers, but as I have my own lathe that shouldn't prove to be to painful. I am thinking of fitting GAZI shocks as they look okay and cost a reasonable amount.
I have a pair of A3/4 wheels, which I got from Bill Newman, but the rear one may have to be replaced by the 1000j one, as its a bit wider, so I can fit a more suitable tyre.
