So i have a oportunity to get my hands on one as a new trench wench 2 . 130 hp heavy but still less weight than the gsx11g and more hp as well as chain drive so i can play with gearing . Downside is 18" rear rim but mx paddles will fit then but not overly wide though a quick search finds zzr rears can fit . Other than that im not up with kwakkas

As per my Fagbook post to you:

They were a great motor. I had one. The engine itself was the same cases as the GPZ1100RX and the ZZR1100 as well which means you had a lot of scope for spare parts. They ran a lot of plastic and a small 160 back trye. They were a heavy beast but the stripped down version I had made that power fun.

The gear box in the one in the photo was actaully from the "then" landspeed record holder in the UK. Those things shifted!

If they're anything like the C1 ZZR then 2nd gear will be a weak spot and if they run low on oil #3 rod bearing has a tendency to give up (keep the oil above the sight glass).

Other than that it's a Kwaka so it's bulletproof......lol....
