Nelson Offline User Posts: 665 Thank you received: 16	I think I read in the "two stroke tuner's handbook" that sharp bends have NO effect as long as they are smooth and the diameter and length is correct. My former SV650 had a VERY sharp bend from the factory. Restoring and customizing a KZ1000. Click here to read about it.

This is one SWEET looking ride!

I'm doing a rear end conversion on my '78 650 (like what you did at the start of this build). Just wondering if you could PM me with tips and hints for when I start the conversion. I'm putting a rear end off a '99 ninja 900 on it, mono shocking it, etc.

Any help would be awesome

78 kz 650 custom
Wiseco 720cc big bore
Dynajet stage 3 carb kit with pods
2002 Kawasaki Z750 exhaust
2001 Buell lightning front end
1999 Ninja 600 swingarm with 1999 Ninja 900 rear rim
converted to monoshock rear
Too many goodies to list fully
