Z1000 Fork Upgrade Complete
Posted: Thu Jul 29, 2010 11:13 pmI finished the 04 ZX-6R fork installation tonight, I cant beleive how smoothly the whole operation ran, everything just bolted up like a bought one. I have to say I got all the part numbers and tips from the riderforums Z1000 section, heaps of knowledge there just like here and the zrxoa.
As a few of you also know there are several guys on the zrxoa that sell parts and accessories, well kwick, from ELS - Expensive Lightweight Stuff - had a special on Galfer Wave rotors in July only. When I just - stupidly
- asked how much I was shocked 
that the price was sooo much cheaper than what I could get two fronts for out here - for a full set .
Brakes lines are Z1000+75mm, sourced from site sponsor Superbike Supply. I just told Tim what I wanted (in the way of banjo's Z1000 m/c and ZX6 Calipers) and he did the rest.
New wheel spacers and pads came from Aitkens. Matt that I work with who builds custom bikes - he's like his own little Deus Ex Machina - from his garage, he made me the spacers and supplied the HT Caliper bolts. I dont particularly like the bolts and will source some allen head ones soon.
