Couple questions

Ok now for some "noob" type questions,... anyone know what fork tubes will swap with the eli?.............I have a real sweet 94 zx6r front end that would be huge kick ass on this.... Gas cap?..... what can be used to replace or repair orig. I have the top part and the key but entire bottom part is gone..............Oil cooler: anyone?. I have a 94 oil cooler sitting here,ZX6r~ can I just plumb it like the ninja?.....Radiator: can will a concourse radiator fit?....~easier to find shroud for~...........
Basic question I suppose is what bikes could I use for "parts" I know the ninja is a viable option but what about the Connies?....... and is this fork brace a factory Item?

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post, but in case anyone is interested in a 97% original Eli, in very mint condition, here is a link to my auction:

I can no longer ride, and have to sell due to back issues....

Man it sucks getting old!!!

Best of luck to all of you, and hope all is going well. If anyone needs some pics for a restoration before I sell her, send me a PM with your e-mail address, and I will be more than happy to help!!

That is one pretty bike. Makes me want to do more work on cleaning up mine.

Very nice example of a pristine ZL900!!

Shlim 1, sorry that you have to let that one go! I can only imagine how hard it was to make that decision! I guess with a bad back it would hurt more to only be able to look at her and not jump on for a ride!!
I hope that you continue to visit us and share your obvious experience.

Thanks for being a part of our "family"

All I can say is "that sucks". I'm getting old, I just hope not so old I can't ride at least for a while. I don't live far from chicago I will be watching it.

That bike looks amazing. I've made the decision that once I get my compensation for my shoulder I'm getting myself a ZX-12R A1, then I'm going to strip down and rebuild my ZL900. So hopefully it will end up looking somewhere near as nice as that one.
