Leon, can you brace a stock KZ900A4 [drum brake] swingarm and still keep the center stand and fender?

If it has tits or tires, it'll give you problems!

mtbspeedfreak,

let me look one over this evening with an eye towards that and i will get back with you.
i don't think the fender would be a problem,but the centerstand will take some consideration.
i'll let you know,

Haha, I tried that as soon as I first noticed it. Unfortunately, it doesn't work with my non-LTD bike, nor my Z1. The main reason I keep it, (it's a pain most of the time and it looks dorky) is so that I can easily lube my chain when I'm 500 miles in the middle of bumf*ck and have another 500 miles to get home. :)
