I'll mention it to me Z1000 buddy Greenie tomorrow Zeno ........although he has just spent $5000 on his 2005 ZX6 track bike.....no wonder he never shouts a beer...
2005s? pfft! 2003 is where it is at...! (*whistling*)

- I just put a 2005 ZX10R linkage onto my Barra; so now I gotta find the time to revalve the WP to suit it all... (too many projects - do I get to transcend yet?: Sartre & de Beauvoir)
...and I digressed

- right, one of the Ohlin's has gone - sold to a ZX7R (sorry)
1 Ohlin's left now, and also just grown a Penske 8987 (high/low) as well - can fit to loads of different Kawasakis and Suzukis...

Dear Al Zheimers, yup F1 600s, still not a major concern - needs a bit of modernising though - a few fork bits, and best to graft in a shock shaft with a needle jet, instead of the OEM lottery type - 3 pre-drilled sizes, all of which usually not suited to much...

But is all good, modern bits fit and do not alter appearance of the shock...
