Re: Fork choice?
Yeah, looking good P51.
RGV front end looks great. It makes a lot of sense to me since it's from a smaller, lighter bike.
I picked up an older ZX7 front yesterday for a good deal but it looks huge and feels heavy. The wheel is 3.5" wide, which I think might be too big.
Where did you get your VJ22 front end?
I'll also dig your carpeted workshop.

Oh snap, that upper triple looks hella BA.
Re: Fork choice?
I picked up an older ZX7 USD front end but the wheel is 3.5" wide - too wide for the RZ?

Re: Fork choice?
You can use whatever size wheels you want, it will just slow down the handling.
Re: Fork choice?
Yeah, that's what I'm worried about. Going with wider, modern rubber is going to change the handling, I know, but I'd like to maintain as much of bike's nimble, quick feeling as I can. Does a 3.5" rim mean using a 120 tire or can I use a 110?

Re: Fork choice?
try a 3.0"X17" from a RGV250 or a TZR250 3.0"X00X17"
