Half an ELR - a KZ400

[kawi382]

This is my small superbike, a 78 KZ400. To some of you it may look done already, but I have some big plans for it. (evil laugh) Anyways, I hope the pics will load so everyone can see where I'm at. Will attempt regular updates but no promises

I've never seen a pipe like that before. Doesn't look like some of the ones I have.

I don't see much of the exhaust... I just see belly pan.

 

[Erskine]

Holy crap a Kerker! I didn't know they made pipes for the 400.

It's my racebike, so plan basically is to make it lighter, handle better, and build a bigger motor

ive always been a fan of the 2 in 1 exhaust. I might do that on my next build.

WOW I'm impressed 8) 2 reasons #1 at your age you know who EL is #2 its rare to see these words from a builder (make it lighter, handle better, and build a bigger motor) ;D

fork brace and fresh sticky rubber will make a huge difference to how it feels and handles.

Thanks for the comment cobraace! I get that a lot from everyone in the club I race in too.
teazer- I actually just finished making a fork brace for it from a kz440 front fender! ( the same bike I stole the bigger cylinders from for my new engine) I buy brand new tires every year too.

At the moment... not much else to say regarding the bike. Not a lot of free time for a while with exams coming
