TOPIC:

I am new to KZR. I have seen this question before but no answer. I am planning to convert my '78 KZ1000 suspension to a GSXR upside down unit. I want to run late model wheels as well but I am not sure how to set up the speedo. Please help.

what are you doing with the old kz parts?

You're going to want to get the whole front end off that Gixxer, including the wheel and brakes and triple clamps. Of course, you're going to want the swingarm and rear wheel to match...

If the speedo isn't driven off of the front wheel, you might consider an aftermarket speedo that uses a magnet on the wheel or even one of those Veypor devices that does everything. www.veypor.com

I dont have plans for the KZ stuff however I wont be starting this project until winter. I will post again if you want them.
I plan on using all the GSXR front end but havent decided on a swing arm yet. I dont think the GSXR has a wheel driven speedo. I road race Hondas and the speedo is driven off the trans on my race bikes so it looks like I will have to try the magnetic pick up system.
Thanks
Mike
