thanks damarble.....
start a thread and get some pics up to build my inspiration (more) haha...

my clip ons arrived today......
im thinking about inverting them so they dont drop down so much......(10 degree atm)
we'll see what happens.....

it'll be a solid day in grandmas garage tommorro....

My build is on KZR but I'll probably post it here too when I have time. The fork conversion isn't much to look at right now, still waiting on a bunch of parts.

My clipons are above the trip too and I love them like that.

Re: z750 twin....brat.... a slow evolution

whoa... shes a cutie.

clions look good. kinda like really low slung cruiser angle. didnt think i would like them when i read the description (before i saw the pics) but look pretty good actually.
 
Re: z750 twin....brat.... a slow evolution

Re: z750 twin....brat.... a slow evolution

Re: z750 twin....brat.... a slow evolution

coming out great. getting some great ideas for my cb650. im just not to sure about the clip ons but hey thats just me
 
Re: z750 twin....brat.... a slow evolution

thanks for the compliments fellas....

i think the clip ons look heaps out of place because the tip tiple is so old and faded vs the fresh black of the clip ons...

i added my external sight fuel guage
heres some pics....

holes drilled

i think ill leave the tube at this angle/curve as it follows the line at the front of the tank...
looks sick, i like it....
 
Re: z750 twin....brat.... a slow evolution

That fuel gauge looks sweet! will like to do something like that on my next build for sure.....

Yep, I've been running without gauges because they got smashed when the PO laid it down. When you have less than 3 gallons and no way to track mileage it gets sketchy. I don't know if I can bring myself to put on like that on. It looks cool and all but on somebody else's bike... :)
 
Re: z750 twin....brat.... a slow evolution

Just went through the entire build and it is looking really good. Cant wait to follow the rest of it.
