Hi guys
I've started a new project after selling my A4 last spring. It's a -77 KZ1000 A1. Imported from the US last winter-
I will build a streetfighter this time, using the next year or so. It was in rather bad condition when I get it, but I'll do a full strip down and frame modifications.
I will use -98 ZX9R front end, with new billet yokes after my own design. -05 GSXR 750 monoshock swingarm. ZX9R footpegs and pedals, Ya.... R1 rear pegs, CNB exhaust. I haven't decided yet how the paintwork theme will be, but I suppose it will be something blue.
Here's my first pic of the bike when I saw it the first time
Started to strip down

I'll post some pics under the process
It'll take some time to build but it's been some progress of building.
And no, I don't fancy Gold/Orange
I think blue, maybe daaaark blue would be nice together with polished aluminium and Chrome
Here's the swingarm under work, done some mods to the frame too
Front end

It's about 25cm higer than original
Will look much better with exhaust, seat and licenceplate

That looks like an 01 era GSXR swinger. That's exactly what I'm using on another project I have going! How much did you need to shave to fit it in the pivot?

It's a -05 GSXR 600/750 SRAD, it fits perfect with just making a new sleeve for the bearings. The original boltis smaller than a modern GSXR.

No I'm not, I think it is going to be the bollox !
I love a well jacked streetfighter.
And going on the quality of Obr's previous 900 this will be superb.

Not so very much progress last year because of buying new house and workshop
I've used the last weeks to rebuild my workshop to get ready for the winter.
But I've got my exhaust today, and do a test.
