I really wanted to use a Scotts Damper ... nothing wrong with the other type but the damn rod has to have an obstructed path and that usually means it is hanging off the side. On the Buell engine bike I used 2 short Hayabusa dampers and minimized the stroke but this is "more better".

Looks good Joe! Should be careful spreading pictures around like that. You'll have customers lining up at the door. The problem is they'll be fellow racers working on the usual budget!  :-D :-D :evil:

Just what I need.    Plus that would mean I have to suffer the rant of Kent.

Back at the ZX10R project.   Got some work done tonight on the rear sets, rear master cylinder and shifter.   I am going at this project hard for the next 2 months.  Anticipate completion of all fabrication before the end of the year.   Than I have another bike to build for my nephew.

Never thought of that Joe ... I like the idea of out of sight line ...

I spent most of the day searching for the parts I promised Jesse off the red XB altered bike.   Good news is that I located just about everything I thought I still had.   I am assembling the ZX10 now.   I have to do something with the radiator.  Stock radiator is huge.   I was considering using a smaller one off a Suzuki 250 ....  Not sure just how much cooling I will need on an open bike.

Sure..its my fault he didn't work on it  :-D Oh, and thanks again!

On cooling: check out YZ250 radiators, I think 05 up. They are two, narrow units. It would be easy to incorporate them into your bike. Granted I don't know the cooling capacity, but even with as hot as I get the dirt bike on spray, the water temp still stays low.

A friend has one ... think YZ250 ... He offered it and it cant be big.  The ZX10 radiator is wide and tall.  I considered shortening it will be still big.  I like the small radiator that Joe has on the Suzuki.  Not sure where it came from.

I can send down these YZ250 radiators if you want them.

Thanks Jesse.  I will text you if I need it.  I worked out the controls tonight.  Have to locate the fuel pump and the filters tomorrow.  I don't like the battery location that I did.  Just don't like anything around the chain. I think I will relocate it under the tail piece if I can find room there.
