When mocking up, it's a good idea to drill a bar to bolt into shock position with shocks removed.
That way you can get 1/2"~3/4" tyre to fixed parts and know tyre won't act as a brake when suspension compresses
As I said,several bikes had the same problem a few years ago, some ended up being completely transformed into something different, others -no idea what happened

deviant said:I think your clearance is fine. I'm 170 lbs and run 110/80VR18 and I get bump just below the bottom of the frame tubes. I also run the suspension a little stiffer front and rear. I feel like the stock 360 suspension is spongey as hell, anyway.

doc_rot said:Solid advice. even for the experienced. I have completely assembled, and disassembled, my kz1000 project at least 5 times. I could probably do it in the dark now. As an industrial designer you should understand the necessity of prototyping. keep up the progress.
