Second 78' KZ750

Pretty much finished my other 78' KZ750, now I'm moving on to the other one that I picked up. This one is pretty clean and I don't think I'm going to cut it up. I'm thinking about leaving it mostly stock. I have 2 sets of pipes, 2 engines, and I bunch extra parts. I definitely don't want to drop a lot into this one. I think I'm going to pull this motor and clean it up. Clean up the frame, maybe paint it. I just put some new tires on it. Rims are pretty clean. A little steel wool and they'll look pretty good. Here's a shot from today.

Shot of the KZ, I just finished:

Chopped about 4 inches off the rear frame. Took 4 out for seat pan. Welded up the seat pan. Need to weld the rear frame back up. Going with an original look, but I had to shorten the overall length. Plan to take an inch of the height of the seat along with the 4" I gotta cut out.

Here's a shot of the original length before the cut:
