Nothing more done on the actual build over the winter as i've been laid up after having a knee op and there's no heating in the workshop .Thanks Zed1015, your jig is almost exactly what I was alluding to earlier in this thread... Any more progress on the Moriwaki ?
Plenty of parts waiting in the wings though for both bikes and still need a lot of stuff for the turbo..
Think the Racecrafters will get finished first though as there's not much more i need for that and it's a fairly simple build.
As soon as i make any progress it usually gets posted on there the same day..

Got a new ignition cover - think it's going to end up with a kiwi engraved on it.

Yeah, they were. I wanted a hub for the ZRX forks and brake discs and getting the front hub made was actually cheaper than I thought it would be. By the time I totalled everything up getting the rear hub made didn't really make much more of a dentwere they made up specially for you?
The rear hub takes a gsx-r brake disc and has the sprocket offest to match the front. Technically the rear hub will be a bit lighter as well, but I'm not really worried about weight too much - I can take some off the rider if need be
They weren't exactly cheap but I'm stoked with how they turned out.

They are tasty looking, i was looking into these guys, the wheels look solid and a price that is not too crazy but its for a project a bit down the line so im hopping that their range increases to include a few more makes for their conversion kits. This is a link of the wheels i was looking at. Do you mind if i ask who made these?

I got them from RF-Biketech here in Germany - they made the hubs, my triples and my rearsets, they sent the hubs off somewhere else to be laced. If you take sales tax and the discount they gave me into account the wheels were only a bit more expensive than the one you linked. Add to that the fact that the hubs were made to my specs and the sprocket holder, dampers and all the bearings were included - makes the price almost bearableThey are tasty looking, i was looking into these guys, the wheels look solid and a price that is not too crazy but its for a project a bit down the line so im hopping that their range increases to include a few more makes for their conversion kits.

RF-Biketech have some pretty crazy KZ1000 mods - some not really to my taste (320 rear tires!), but they know what they're doing: www.rf-biketech.com/galerie/kawasaki/
