Z1r height measurements please

#1 PostAuthor: ross » Tue Oct 23, 2012 9:59 pm

hi, taking next week off as half term here, so babysitting !!!! and really need to get on with my z1r.
i need the height of a std z1r from the floor to the centre of the stg lock cover rivet and from the floor to the centre of the rear top shock mtgs / nuts, prefer upright and not on stands.
i am basically trying to get the height right as i am monoshocking and using bandit running gear but needs some reference points. i know it will be low using 17 " wheels , but plan to be 1/2" lower front / rear.
any help appreciated.Ross

however if i had more time and could get to em for frames and engines I could take a few more measurements off the other two and we could have had the mean but as it would make feck all difference to the handling it not worth it :lol: :lol: :lol:
