Should run mid 11s with no slick or bar and some practice. Those frame mods should take away the “death wobble” at speeds over a buck and a quarter in addition to making it strong!

There is an early Z1 frame w/ front end and assorted parts, up at Joe’s U-pull it (aka EZ Pull & Save Auto Parts)
2401 Summer Valley Rd. New Ringold, Pa.17960
570 386 2171
It was still there last time I was up. Two weeks ago.

I don’t think it’s the fastest but I think my KZ750 will be pretty damn quick when it’s done. Might be a contender.

Just got my 810cc piston kit for it today.

@ben

Your duc s2r800 should have about 80 horsepower. It’s lighter. That’s the only advantage I see. Pretty sure duc’s don’t have small gears like a sport bike does. Plus you’re fatter than me, ha.

Pretty sure my z1 is gonna have a bit over 100hp. Maybe 110 depending how lean I run it and how I set my cams.

I think it’ll be a good race… Which I’ll win.

I’m more interested to race Jim’s mid 1990s yamaha fzr600.

You’re going to want to have that thing in a jig when you repair it, make sure that puppy is nice and straight and that it doesn’t get tweaked during the repairs

LOL @Adam !

I’d like to think that Ed was just ruling too hard and the stock frame couldn’t take it.
