Geez, I can't imagine. Those KZ1000's were scary fast without a turbo, lol. The KZ900 was no slouch, torque-y little buggers and with that short frame the front wheel spent more time in the air than on the ground..
I used a 70 and up B body rear because that's what I had. Completely rebuilt it, added a suregrip unit, and moved the perches in 1/2 inch on each end.
This is in my 74 Dart Sport, 15x10 inch wheels with a 5.5 inch backspace.
Agreed.
This thread reminds me of a guy I used to hang out with, he had a NOVA that he had worked on and it turned out real nice. The first night out, he attempted to do a burnout along a lake where we used to hang out. On the other side of the road was a mountain face that went straight up...
Dave may have hit on something here with the lines.
Eelco, how old are the rubber lines? Is the one back by the tank possibly collapsing inside if it's old?
