Finally started on my KZ400 build. Figured this would go pretty quickly, but once I started tearing into it, it got much worse. Carbs were toast. Broken on the inside/ missing pieces. Someone broke off one of the bolts that hold the carb boots on, and just left it. Nice. Pretty much par for the course buying from random people on CL. I've pretty much decided that everyone selling bikes on CL is a liar. But I press on.
I'm building a 1 into 2 manifold for the intake, and I'm gonna use a 34mm Keihin flat slide for it. Swapping the front disc for a drum. Not sure the overall direction yet, we'll see how it progresses.
The last bike I built turned into a cafe/brat hybrid, which I like. Not sure about this one.
This is how I bought her. Sweet fairing and bag set up.
Tank is in pretty good shape. Probably just sand it and clear coat it.
Starting to tear it down.
I like working with copper.
Still need to braze it after I cut it down some and figure out the clearance.
This is what will go on the end.
Well, there it is.
