as far as the stem goes. u will just have to measure the od and length. if the length is shorter than the KZ, u will want to swap stems. if it is good for length u may get away with a bearing swap.u will want to try Allballbearings.com for bearings.
u could cut and widen the frame, but it may be easier to use a dif arm.
The carbon f looks nice. where do u live? i'm in Cobourg, Ont.

I am located in Ajax Ontario. It is nice to know that we have some die hard KZ guys in my neck of the woods.
Talk to you soon Mark

If he is selling them for salvage price then that's a no brainer, you no the seals are good and no little tell tale signs of a little fender bender in to the back of a car at 60 mph. lol I may be getting ahold of him pretty soon.

You won't be disappointed, Cory is the best! He has a lot of stuff from ZX14s because he keeps buying whole ZX14s and parts them out BRAND NEW!

Don't mind me asking what does a motor go for, thinking of putting 1 in my trak chassis. Probably cheaper and faster than building an old KZ motor to go fast.

I suggest that you get in touch with Cory himself. I am not affiliated with his shop, I just buy parts from him.
His email is cory.lacroix@sympatico.ca and he has his shop in Sarnia Ontario. Be assured that he will give you a great price.

Les, just a heads up.
if u do buy parts from canada, use canada post. Fedex and ups charge crazy brokerage fees to cross the border.

And now when I sell to Canadians I won't take money orders either, my bank charged me $20 on the last one. If I recall the last thing I bought from Canada came Canada post.

Thanks

Hi Mark, I was just wondering if you had a build up of your bike posted. If not what kind of front end do you have on your KZ?

Wow Scotty.....just wow! You did a great job wrapping those parts! It makes me happy that I was able to help another rider in some small way. I'm far from being the king, but it is flattering nontheless.

Again, excellent work my friend, keep it up!
