1993 zx wheels and forks on a 1977 kz 650 ?????

I want to put zx wheels on my ahrma kz 650 racer but would like to keep the ride heigth for cornering.
I can allways use longer rear shocks but I'm having trouble getting longer fork tubes.
I like the 41mm fork tubes but there inches short.
Or should I try and use the stock kz front end and try and modify to accept the zx ft wheel.

I'm currently healing up from touching down hard with a racebike that had low ride heigth.


zx ft wheel to wide for kz forks so it looks like I'll use the zx forks.

these folks can build you new tubes however long you want.

I called them--they said they couldn't make them.

really?

that sucks.

what about extended fork caps.

if not readily available can be custom made..

I'm gonna put the zx 600 d front end on.
stock lower steering bearing will work.
Top one had to get all balls thinnest one.
will update when i get bearings.

Don't forget steering stop.

have you looked at wider triple trees from a cop bike with your stock forks?
kz900/1000 forks are same diameter but roughly 3/4" longer if youre looking for more ground clearance

I'm watching...have a Kz650 build going too (slowly).

If it helps, I'm using a Police front end with a ZX11 front rim and brake system. The Police front end bolts right on in place of the stock front end without the need for a bearing swap.
