Looking good... Regarding the open timing system, it's been done a few times before...the build "bones" immediately comes to mind.

Lowe's brand black appliance epoxy. I do not recommend it as it takes a long time to cure and is very sensitive to petroleum products.TNTbefree wrote:Lookin good. What brand and type of paint did you use on frame?
I got an excellent deal on a front end off of a 2005 zx-10. The all balls ball bearing site states that this front end is NOT compatable but I did it anyway. The neck of the frame had to be shortened (~5mm on top and bottom) to accommodate the shorter steering stem and shorter, custom bearings were ordered through VXB bearings and Aliexpress. I also had to weld bump-stops underneath the neck to prevent the trees from hitting the FTC and re-located the ignition switch. 4 holes had to be drilled, tapped, and secured for the handlebar risers, and the old ignition mount on the top tree had to be cut off.ericheath wrote:What front end did you use?

I took ~5mm off the top and ~4mm on the bottom (a belt sander and a lot of time). I also pressed the steering stem further up the lower tree to get some extra height.ericheath wrote:Thanks for that. It looks like the forks fit better. Did you have to cut a lot off the neck? Love to see pics of that.
