Finally remembered to start a project page.
My '78 KZ750 twin I picked up for $40.
Started hacking things off to get as light as possible
Made the seat out of a sheet of aluminum and installed a GS1100 alloy swingarm, but just didn't dig the fact that it was 2 inches longer than stock so I went back to the stock arm.
Built the 2 into 1 exhaust and the single carb manifold
Completely rewired the whole thing with new fuseblock, no key, and used a CBR kill switch
The front brakes are dual disc with a GSXR master, but the discs and calipers are waaay to heavy so are getting switched out to drilled KZ650 rotors with Nissin 4 piston calipers from an F4I Honda.
The rear brake is going to be a combination KZ/R6 combo.
THe wheels are getting switched out to 18" front and rear Enkei mags painted bronze.
I really need some good shocks for this thing, but so far she is sooo much fun to ride and this twin makes fantastic torque and sounds awesome. I've got the weight down to 410 right now, but estimate losing another 20 to 30 on the brakes and wheels.
