Hi I´m Fredrik from Sweden.

This is my first first post!

Let´s see if i manage to get som pics in this thread.



Ok no problemo there. This is how the bike looked when i bought it in october last year for 450 dollars.


 
Hi and thanks for the reply.

Here´s some more pics.



The whole bike whas full off shit so the first thing i had to do was to clean it up a bit.
Carbs before


Carbs after
 
Interesting...are those the factory carbs on the KZ400 in Sweden? Our USA models have CV-carbs from the factory. Based on some quick googling, they seem to be VM26's?
 
I bought an old gas tank from a monark moped. First mount on the dirty bike:



Cleaned up the bike a bit:
 
No those carbs are from a Yamaha RD350. One of the 18 (!) previus owner had changed them. Why? I don´t know... But I like theese better than wacuum carbs.

Btw, I´m not really sure but i believe it´s wm26
 


The frame without anything


Gone wild with the angle grinder. Shortened the tail and got rid of most of the brackets or whats it called...
 
Making of a seat





This is another seat i made but i choose the lower one instead

New clip-ons from china
 
Started the reassembling. The swedish vinters is really cold (including my garage) and I have an understanding girlfriend :)
