Will do, I'm actually going to be at the AHRMA round this weekend with my old 2 stroke, so I am going to pick the brains of some of the people racing 550s. I look forward to getting it on the track. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

Nice build man! I actually just picked up an 83 kz550 to build for AHRMA vintage superbike middleweight. I'm probably going to keep the bike pretty mild at first. I like what you did with the wheels. I'm trying to stay mags, but I can't find an 18" mag front that I like. By ahrma's rules, I can...

I know its kinda far off but I went to a swap meet in Murfreesboro saturday and got a flyer for an event happening in Shelbyville. Once I find a link to an online source i'll post a link but here is the info. Indoor Motorcycle races (pictures look like board track racing) Calsonic Arena...

what helmet is that in the 3rd picture down on your original post?? looks like it says moto J on it but i tried googling it and came up with nothing.. great work on the bike. i keep thinking about doing a similar fork swap and rear swing arm swap on my kz400 but i honestly love the old bike...

Here is my 1978 kz400 build thread.. i figured it was time to start posting since i've been trolling for a couple months now. I purchased my kz this past july and went through it to make it road worthy for the rest of the season. I rode it from Nashville, TN to Barber for vintage fest and it...

Im from Mt. Juliet but live in Murfreesboro (MTSU student) my bike is currently tore down for a winter rebuild. but after its over i would love to meet up with everybody and meet my fellow old jap bike riders. i tried the facebook link but it didnt work.. can someone help me out with finding the...

my bike is a c1 which came drum brake and 5spd and kick start only. with no tach. which wasnt ideal but for it to only have had 5600miles and only be $850. i figured i'ld live with it for right then. but i was thinking the same thing on the 6spd. I know the gear ratio between the 5th in the...

have you messed with the sprocket sizing on these. i'm thinking about messing with it to get a the RPM a little lower at 70mph.. im curious if it is going to completely kill all the power. im wondering if it will just make my lower gears more usable or if its just going to make it feel...

I haven't really noticed anything to crazy.. there is a slight wobble at high speed but i just assumed it came from air hitting the front wheel with out a fender to help calm it down. im going to trim a fender to fit on the bike but the c1's have a really ugly fender that will even be hard to...

thanks everybody.. its been a super fun bike. i've put 1,000miles on it since its been finished (which has been a week exactly) there will definitely be a build thread this winter when it gets tore down. I'm going to try and pull a little more power out of the bike.. im thinking about trying...
