i was curious, if i was to rake my bike out would these be safe to use on the road (with a steering stabilizer) and for dragracing (under 130mph)
i kno i know they'd look goofy on a kz1000, or would they.....

we used to run dirtbike/small streetbike frontends and triple trees years ago on dragbikes whe we couldnt afford the fancy italian stuff kosman was selling.i gave solomrus a frontend and wheel with disc brake from a kz400 for his turbo/dragbike
Yep, we use S2 & S3 or H1 front ends,been 156+ mph. Set up for 18" wheel and all you have to do to the S series stuff is change the stem to Z/KZ type.s
