Super nice. I see you have the same problem I had with my Dyna S. I installed the 3A (I think) Rotor for the Z1900 . The pick up magnet is located slightly different and it put the breaker plate right into the middle of the slotted adjustment. Call Dynatek they sent me to rotor free.

I have the same Problem. Good to know that a 3A rotor will fix the adjustment Problem. But it´s difficult for me to find/get a single 3A rotor here in Germany.

Thanks Mikaw, I like the idea of the gold in the rear somehow. Maybe a gold rear sprocket would be good, I will have to play around with some ideas there.

And Scirocco, that tank dent has bothered me for quite some time. I really need to go check out a dent guy but first need I need to give this money pit a break for a little bit. Maybe in the spring I will get it taken out.

Your bike came out very cool. Well done.

I am a big fan of your build! I am doing a very similar build on a 76KZ900 LTD. I am curious as to what rear wheel, hub and brake set up you went with. I am also using the same GS1100E swing arm. Thank you for any help that you can provide me.

Thanks Mark.  Good luck with your build, you should start a thread so we all can see.  

The rear wheel is off a 1988 Kawasaki ZX10, if I remember correctly it is 4.5 inches wide not 5.5 like most modern sport bike wheels, so it allows me to comfortably run a 160 tire.   Hub is the same but I think I did shave a little bit off to make it fit better in alignment with the chain.  Brake set up, I have no idea.  I took it off of a parts bike and had a hell of a time working this out.
