Ok what is me favorite thing about this forum blogge deelee?

Well maybe you are out there right now, and your thinkin' you have a 3/8" offset countersprocket, how is that going to fit inside of the stock countershaft cover?

Just like this...

Thats what i did too. since i have a 5/8" offset, i had to shim the cover out from the motor, as well.
There is always a way.
U are going to enjoy this ride my friend.

Hey Thanks Mark!!

Man you were sure right about the frame clearance, it is right there, so glad I added the plate you reccommended.

Finished for the day got the rear brake plumbed but forgot about brake pads, back to the ordering...

Got the chain on and all set there can't be but about 1/16" clearnce on the frame, and about the same inside the rear shock spring.

Man I love how this bike turned out! You did a fantastic job. Not too shabby for an 11Boo. Makes me proud SFC!

Really looks sweet! I wish I had seen the tips about frame/chain clearance before my frame was powdercoated...that's why I run a 520 chain now. I've got about 1/16 chain to rear tire clearance and about the same chain to frame.

Awesome job!

Hoo-ah!!

3d ID.....

Gator ??

My sector was covered by Gators.

That is one sexy machine you got there!

nice build. have you thought of painting it a different color besides felony orange?

Bought a high tech Lithium Iron battery, the thing is really small, and very light. it is supposed to have the same power and better life than a stock wet cell.

It weighs 1.68 pounds and is definately cheaper than titanium LOL...

nice score. what was the damage if ya dont mind?

they are not cheap, but last 2-4 times longer than the normal battery.

Felony Orange.... If I ever get this thing in a magazine (I know a guy who knows a guy etc. etc. who said when it's finished he wants to publish) the color will now be listed as "Felony Orange".

The real story is about the time it was ready for paint, I dropped my buddies totally custom 929 Honda, and had to repair the lower fairing. Not being an overly particular color guy, I told the body man to paint the KZ stuff the same "Felony Orange" as the 929 panel I had to pay to fix.

It's actually got some pearl in it and is quite intriging in the sunlight, but there is now way to get that look into a photo and see the full "magic".

Felony orange it is from now on!!

Awesome! I just saw an ad in Motorcyclist this month and have been meaning to post about it. The weight savings is amazing!! Please let us know how it holds up. Do you know if a battery tender will work OK with this type of battery?

The only problem I see is that the "exact replacement" listed has the terminals reversed for some reason...they offer an opposite one but I think there's an error. The link below came up for my MKII and the terminals are reversed.

Here's the manufacturer's site:

They are so small I don't see where the terminal issue would even come into play. You just turn the battery around until the terminals are where you want them.

As far as holding up:

"it will outlast stock ones by far, they claim 2 to 4 times. best part is no need to charge when not riding, it can sit for year without losing any power."

This is quote from a club (forum) I belong to in Nevada.

Nice discovery on the battery you weight weenie you. Go have another beer now.

Just finished putting the rear brake pads on and bleeding the rear brake...

so nice..

Spent the day today just trying to get some of the minor details finished. I know when it comes time to start it the working will be over and the riding will begin. So all those little headache details you look at but never fix.

I got the rearsets back on and since I have seen some other posts where folks are struggling with them thought I would show a picture of what I came up with.

The hardware is from I think a 99 R-6. It may be a CBR 600 but they are both almost identical. I had to remove all the stuff from the R-6 brackets and reassemble them on some brackets made from scratch.

The intent is to CNC a pair of brackets, but these will get me by for now.

They look like the factory put them on and that is the way I want them. They also have the little rubber pads on top to reduce vibration.

They work perfectly and even thread through the kickstand a spring with about .050" to spare.

So here is a closer look at the left side (shifter side)

Now the right side (brake side)
