Winter project .... Direction advice

[doc_rot]

Sweet. I like the direction you are going in. The excel rims are a bit cheaper than the sun rims if you want to save some cash. You can go up to a 140 on the rear with the stock arm if you lace a 18x3.5". I would recommend heading over to KZrider for some more info. there is a whole thread on bracing the frame.

Thanks! - I've been getting a good education from the Zed-heads over at KZrider - they have the Sanctuary bracing plan that you posted fully translated. Good stuff!

Ballz of steel, what an amazing machine.

I'll never give up my KZ1000, so much soul and history in those bikes.
