So last night my gf and I started tearing the bike last night and hoping it would get done by summer.

Plans are:
Powdercoat frame swing arm and brackets all gloss black
Paint fairings red
New rear sprocket and chain
New chain guard
New fairing bolt kit
New brake pads and front rotors
Possibly powdercoated calipers
Zx9r front forks with new seals

As for the engine:
Zx9r cams
Headgasket
Timing chain
Valve clearance adjustment
Stage one jet kit

I bought a rear spool stand from eBay for $44 and its sturdy and holding up good. Definitely was scared of the quality but I'm satisfied with the puchase

There might be more but this is the majority of it.

I was thinking 32 because I just bought one to pull my axle... my last one grew feet.

Good luck with the project. Lookin good so far.

I'd be nervous about starting a build like that this close to riding season. You just know you're gonna hear the bikes rippin around town on nice warm days while you're workin on yours.... Hate that.

You can toss that rear shock in a box and send it my way. I love shopping on other peoples build threads.

Why won't it??

looked on your thread and you got a 1990 fan not a 91 so your holes look different than mine, i will go out there tonight and test fit it to see whether it works or not
