Now that the front end is fairly complete, I thought to see wnat mods are required to get the rear wheel to fit. It is an identical wheel to the front, from a KZ650 Kawasaki custom. The chain from ebay arrived the other day and together with my 'mock-up' rear sprocket I could investigate chain and tyre clearances. I discovered that with the chain in correct alignment the rim needs to be moved to the left by around 9mm. This will be achieved by machining down the face where the sprocket mates by 9mm or maybe 10mm. This will allow fitment of a 130mm wide rear tyre leaving 4mm clearance on the chain.
