It's a 5/8s wouldn't it be the same as any other kit? I'm just reading through this now but that question in my mind sticks out. I know that the front MC on z1r is different but other bikes plungers work just the same.

It looks as if you are going for a quality build. I would suggest trying to find an old lockhart cooler. I know they are still out there somewhere.

I have no idea about the tail. The powder coat for the swing arm, frame, tank is about 600. Little expensive because of other chemicals pre powder.

Seems new cams are in order. Seems the PO didnt like oil. Also going with. 530 chain conversion. New sprockets are in the mail. New cam chain top idler off ebay. New front control ideas would be great. Not looking to break the bank on them.

Nope. Had some leaks on the bottom end. Plus used red RTV for the engine case during rebuild so that has to be replaced. Im going with copper head gasket as i am getting head work done next year. Either Larry or pit stop performance (hopefully joe recovers! Nice guy).
