it will be right around 4" over and the slot for axle will be about 3/4" higher than stock 1000 arm so putting bike in weeds should be really easy with a 190/17 out back.stock arm looks kinda spindly next to this one dont it?:evil:
wheres that zx-14 hiding at?

Lookin' real good there Wireman!!
I wanted a turbo so bad but just don't know enough about them. I probably spent as much on the engine anyway, but...maybe next time:evil:
Keep the pictures coming!:woohoo:
I like your ZX14 comment. My brother had the pleasure of holding off a charge from a ZX10 back when they were the fastest thing made. He had his 1320 kaw and even kept ahead on the corners! The guy finally pulled him over and asked him what the hell he had in that thing! He said he was shocked that that old bike was as fast as his new ninja. I love stories like that!!
