1975 KZ 900 , ZRX Swingarm, 89 GSXR front end

Very Nice!
is that a modified rear tail support i see in there as well?
I like your exhaust support as well. u may have to paint it orange to match the bike though. lol
Its great that your wife takes interest and actually helps out. Very nice indeed.

Verrrrrrrry nice!
-KR

Yup we sits around the garage and drinks a few glasses of amber colored liquid which of course spurs creativity, and BAM!!:laugh:

We changed the rear section and added a few more gussets, for a little more strength.

Cool you noticed!! thanks.

Ted, I think that is the best looking hanger queen that I've ever seen. Get the bitch dirty. Wow, I like the way that sounds. Sorry, I digress. As my sister used to say, "It's better than perfect, it is done." Get it on the road and change as needed. Yes I'm getting impatient. The riding season (at least up here) is starting to end. Maybe that's why you moved south. BTW, I didn't get a call while you were up here. Beer and cigars were and are available. Again, that is a stunning bike. You are doing a great job. Can't wait to see the next cool detail. Troy341

Hey Troy!!

You are correct, I am in a holding pattern; often find muself waiting for something to get done or the KZ fund to recharge itself.

Good that you are kicking me ass over it though, it motovates me.

Currently the swingarm is hung up in "favorland" no doubt sitting on a bench somewhere. Ed took it to a friend of his to get the welding done.

I am very sorry about missing the beer and Cigars. If you talk to Dave, he'll tell ya the power steering conversion turned into a 4 day marathon. Then Friday night came, and Bam...I had to leave 4 am Saturday morning.

I am going to try and get up to Seattle or Spokane for a track day next summer.

"Asscrack over centerline of rear wheel".

I am waiting on a few more bucks to get the ignition system, then a chain and it is up!!

Ok Troy lets see.....
Changed the front end out of the old green truck and added powersteering, disk brakes body panels.... disrespected the great Troy by not showing up, while in home town 700 miles away... my apoligies man.

Built a deck in the back yard, traveled to Chicago, and then Salt lake City for business (hee hee I luv them M.G.'s) did a track day...good theropy. I will never be as fast as Troy, but it is big fun!!

So any how been pretty busy. Now the Swing arm has returned from the welder dude which is a friend of a friend of Ed who is a friend of mine. Ahh yes....where would I be without all the help. The favorland pipeline...I am in great debt to many pepole now.

I gotta get an ignition system, and a chain. Then it's Track time for the KZ baby!!! Ass crack over centerline of rear wheel (on the straightaway). Hopefully with no wierd wobblyage....that willbe a tense few laps...yup. Vinyl seat and hemmoroid mixture fifty fifty for 3 warm up laps...then go to 20 percent safety margin, and hope for the best.

Check out the swinging arm..I gotta do alittel grinding off of the bracketry..gotta be perfect!! Hanger Queen. You know I have bee lookin for a nick name!! i think to Honnor the great Troy, it will be christened..."Hanger Queen..it fits.

A side view....

I just love looking a nice welding work...

Thanks to Ed and eds friend of eds other friend.....:laugh:

this is just a littel blurb in case the "Zepplin" tunes in from Iraq....

You are and always will be "Hard Core Infantry"....

Cowboy .... out.

Those are beautiful welds. You do owe Ed a nice bottle of something. Good to see the progress. Troy341

Thanks Plummen!!

Looking good man.
i'm sure u are on this already, but i will mension it just in case.
try your hardest to remount the stock ZRX rubber chain guard that fits over the end of the swing arms pivot end. it will realy help to keep the ware down on the arm from chain slap. i would even like to add another rub stripp to mine.
