we are hoping the new tail piece on the header helps to show this view to more folks,:-).

right side ,where the new tailpiece will go.

all welded up.

what gaps?

sure i can fill those gaps no problem,careful stepping over it so your shoe don't get hung in the gap .

welded this up for a buddy of mine.it goes on a 1327 cc suzuki drag bike.

stem all pressed in.

then put all the freshly machined pieces back together and bolt that zx10 frontend on the old beast. (>_<)

cut off the stem and mill it flat.then it is time to press the stem in.

gottsta bore out the zx stem to use for a reducer bushing in the lower triple.

top side of reducer bushing.

a little zx10 to kz triple tree conversion.custom reducer bushing to fit the kz stem.

the other end ready to bolt on a kz.

here it is,all ready to bolt on a kz.

here you can see the machined id.

i had to shorten the pivot tube spacer.
to do so i machined the i.d. and o.d. the amount that i needed to shorten it (.150)and a lil whack with a soft face dead blow and it was now .150 shorter ;0).

here is a zx9 swingarm that i converted for use on a kz1000.i had to mill.075 off of each side and build the custom spacer/bushing/reducer's that you see setting on top of the swingarm.

chain side,bent the tube for extra chain clearance.

tdubs kz650 swingarm that i added an under brace to.

more spacers for the spartan killer.

two of 5 spacers that i machined out for mcgoo(chopcult/bitwell)'s spartan killer.

here is the "carbon dragon".

this where roy's converted busa triples ended up!as well as shock mounts and some other machine work.

i was proud to be able to help roy create his vision.

this is a kz stem to busa triple that i done for roy in norway.

here morton is looking pleased with our work :0).

here i installed a bsa stem in some late model ktm triples for morton in norway.

here it is after weldeing machining and oil hardening.

i fab my own offset countershaft sprockets.here is a 3/8's offset 520 pitch to fit a kz1000 on the right.the one in pieces is for a 5/8's offset.

i machined out this brake stay for my buddy roy over in norway.

here is a kz stem to zx636 triple tree conversion i done for amele.

here they are fitted together to show how they will be installed inside the swingarm.

i spun up these bushings for jydog.he needed to sleeve his swingarm pivot bolt to fit his j-model kawi.it was much easier and more precise to machine it in three pieces than try to make it one piece.the spacer on the left is what he needed to get his swingarm lined up.

being as how the zx9 stem pressed in from the bottom and uses a snap ring to keep it from being pulled up and out,and the kz stem pressed in from the top and had a shoulder to keep it from being pushed through,and a weld on bottom to keep from being pulled up and out.i was able to press it together and weld the two.the step on the stem means it can't be pushed down,and the snap ring on the bushing keeps it from being pulled up.
it ain't goin nowhere! ;)

after milling the top of the triple and stem cum bushing flat i press the kz stem into the zx9 triple.

i use the port-a-band to cut the old stem off.

this swap i am able to use the existing steering stem for the bushing that i need to make the kz stem fit.

here is what you have after you machine the weld off and press the stem out.one steering stem ready to be retro fit into the triple tree of your choice ;0.

i do quite a few stem swaps.
(which means taking the steering stem from one lower triple tree and installing into a lower triple tree from another model)
this allows us to put modern brakes,suspension,and wheels on older bikes.
i mainly do this for kawasaki kz 1000's.the process is the same for any model mostly.

if the stem is welded in i have to first remove the weld that keeps the stem and tree together.
you can grind them out.
but,
i have a lathe >;).
so i machine the weld out .

the old spacers are on the left.the new ones that i built are on the right.
