Off we go...Nostalgia racing here we come.
The beginings of the period Z1 turbo. Kosman swing arm. Tackling the frame next weekend with the pipe bender, notcher and welder.
Here is where we are at
Trying to squeeze 6" wheel into the poor old chassis. Most have said its impossible but here is the Buzzard working at it with me!

Unfortunately none of the outrigger type arms are designed to run on bearings so most are lock up anyway.
Buzzard is tooling up to make us some that run on tapered rollers and can be used with shocks.
If you sweet talk him you never know he may make a few extra!
Also forgot to mention, she is going to be road legal and will be up. Box Hill this Summer!

Peter Thanks he dropped me a pm and I have replied, so that may be an option, like Jay mine wont be happening this summer but for next year so I have time to get the bits ready.
Keep the pics coming this looks like it will be a stunner!

6" wheel
Spent most of bank hol at the lathe and mill, got the ZX12 6" wheel to fit in frame/s-arm by moving sprocket carrier further into the wheel to get the chain run sorted, got 10mm clearance between wheel rim and side of chain. Just got to make the bearing support for the 5/8th offset sprocket surport, going to try in fit it behind clutch cover. Peterf will post pics later, I ain't that clever (sort out website to make it easier to post pics from your phone) Buzzard.

Re: 6" wheel
Nice lookin project!!!
Interesting you should say this! I'm doing kinda the same thing & have about 14mm clearance, with sideways movement i'm a bit concerned that the chain might contact the tyre edge, it's a 6 inch rim on a Z650 but i was going to fit a 180 tyre to spread the contact patch area for more grip, a 190 option would be nice but would obviously make the gap less

6" rim won't fit unless it's off center or you have a wider frame and a 3/4+ offset front sprocket.
6" wheel
6" wheel centrally fitted in frame/ swinging arm, didn't need to offset wheel or widen frame or move engine, but using 5/8" offset sprocket and still got 10mm chain to rim clearence and that was with a 630 chain. Buzzard.
