The rear on my zed1000 was off a zxr1100, easy to fit with a few mods, just make sure you fit an off set front sprocket to line the chain up, shock mounts have to be modified too

Thanks mate feels good after so long, not gonna put a time on this one mate as just come out of hospital after having a shoulder opp, age is a wonderful thing mate just wish i weathered as a good as a zed,
The 650 is going to be similar to my thou but without the mods like front and rear end mate, may even go for the same colour, undisided as yet, Gonna start with engine and frame, pictures will follow as i go along :D

some of you may remember this bike, this is the one i bought for £100, the paintwork was done by myself out of spray cans, paint cost me with all primer and rubbing down materials £50, so the 650 is gonna get the same job,,
