Do I Need This?

[GaryZ]

My ZX11 Adventure is a 1993 model with over 61,000 miles. I made a lot of changes;

- dirt bike handle bars and adapter using 1/4" aluminum with short risers found on ebay.

- Suzuki Vstrom 1000 forks (2" longer and nearly 2" more travel)

- adapted Kaw front wheel and brakes

- Suzuki SV650 front fender

- bobbed rear fender

- shorter dog-bones on rear suspension and flipped chain-adjusters to lift rear

- 1" dropped driver footpegs

- Universal top box with custom mount

 

The picture with me on it was before the top box was installed. I was able to slide the longer forks about 3/4" up in the trees and with the rear lifted to properly match the front, the bike is about 1.5" taller than stock. I still need to extend the kick-stand and center-stand. For now I carry around a 2x4 block!
