why?

Why not.. it's trick, light, strong and expensive... I have been asked to make a few parts in Ti and then the guys get the price tag and they don't seem to need it anymore. LOL

By the way, smclem has front and rear suspension with wheels off a R6 (I think) listed in the For Sale section, and he's only asking $250 for it.

2005 Model

Right Here

R6 forks, sure. R6 triple on a kz650, not so much. Your KZ650 has 60mm of triple clamp offset, and a 2005 R6 has 30mm of fork offset. Thats a HUGE change and a formula for very slow handeling. Irishwill has made triples with stock (KZ1000) offset so correct triples have been made. You may want to send him a PM about this swap.

Good Luck,
Jon

have you tried a bungie cord?

Great idea! You could even put a ratchet on the bungie cord and make it adjustable!

I got the front done it was simple after i got into it i just had to swap out the bearing the stem was long enough on the r6 but the r6 swing arm is way to wide to get in the kz its over a inch to wide now the search is on for a swing arm that will fit it

Do you already have the rear wheel you will be using?

I can tell you that a 83-85 GPz750 aluminum swing arm is an easy fit to the 650 frame, has a 17mm axle, easily modified for dual shocks (if desired), and will take up to at least a 4.5" rim with 160 tire. I have used them on a dual shock KZ650 SR, dual shock 1980 KZ750E, and a monoshock 1980 KZ750G twin.
