Home refi is FINALLY done. Got 3.38%. Cool. KZ1000 is finished and sold it a week later because I could not ride it without acting like a hooligan... just a ticket or accident waiting to happen. Was fun though! Mikuni CV34's really woke it up! Hope I behave better with the KX when it is done. Yeah, right! Going to make the call to ProCycle and set up/buy the off road kit and send my hubs down to have the wheels put on. I'll tell them you sent me. Probably charge me double! Talked to them early this year but have not since. Got a KZ1100 shaft drive parts bike to get rid of to clear some more room. Sold the KZ1000 and my GT750 last week. Made a dent in the garage clutter! Crap! Just looked it up here and it was a year ago I called them! Geez! Time flies when you are having fun!
Brute:
You ever get your seat height measured with the new wheels? Still got the stock dogbones? Can't decide on wheel color so have to make a list with options and think about it. Confirmed NONE of my spares will work as no DOT on any of it. Well, unless I strip all the HUGE stuff off of the donor KZ1100 to get it done, then redo it all with my cooler non DOT stuff... Rather just do it once me thinks. Checking on the brake lines also. Sucks. Speaking of, what did you end up using for the light switch? The 'Compact' pressure switch from ProCycle looks like the best option?

Nice work on the bikes....
I have not put the wheels on yet.... I've been on too many emergency rides :-D
Going again this weekend so I may not get that info till next week.
I have the stock dog bones on this one.
Let me go measure a few things and I'll get you a rough measurement.
sandblaster:
Approximately 39 1/4".
They will only lower it a bit... 1/4" roughly.
I'll get precise numbers when I get the wheels on.
Getting my Sand bike and my kids new bike ready for this weekend or I would have it done...
sandblaster:
Started playing with the rear wheel fitment...
It's tight..... I'm going to switch to a non O-ring chain...
