Z1000A1 NEW PROJECT WHEELS AND FORK HELP REQUIRED!!!

#1 PostAuthor: mirror man » Mon Feb 25, 2013 7:52 am

Hi chaps I’m back :!: looking for a little direction and advice, ive got another A1 project which has been on the back burner, but i'm now ready to crack on with it
The plan is to build a fairly standard looking zed twinshock with more up to date 17â€￾ wheels, forks and brakes, may be along the lines of piggy’s :?:
It came as a job lot in box’s [in complete] needing a total nut and bolt rebuild, it came with a zxr750 front and rear wheels [the rear is180mm] forks yokes and brakes, it ’s also has a zephyr 1100 swing arm which seems to be possibly two wide to suit the frame and suspension set up :?: I’m unsure if this set up will work with ride height/clearance etc.
I’ve looked at various projects where up side down forks have been used and extended to give ride height to compensate for smaller wheels, but I don’t think that would an option with the zxr forks.
I’ve looked at some gsxr 750 forks on flea bay but not sure if this would be a better Option :?: as for the swing arm :?:

Your thoughts greatly appreciated regards Alan

Early GSXR 1100 USD forks are nice & long (1990 - 92 approx).
And on the 7th day... Zeds were created!

ZX9R B Forks are also longer to save using extenders.

If you want right way up ones go for zrx11/12 ones.
