I will be watching this one.

There are a few issues with it, but all of them are fairly manageable...small oil leak from one of the lash adjustment covers (new gasket ordered), and erratic idle RPM (new carb holders ordered). Besides that, the only thing worth mentioning is that the shitty chinese masterlink that I had used broke and I threw the chain off the bike while riding yesterday. Got a legit masterlink and all is well now.
Anyways, onto some of the more fun stuff... I've decided to do a "fighter jet" theme for the turbo 440 bike...seems only appropriate, as the bike is going to sound like a jet engine. SO! I've ordered some stuff to help with this!
First up are some gauges from a MIG-15...airspeed and tach. I have no intention of actually using these gauges, only the gauge face will be used...stock KZ440 "guts" will be transplanted. The tach will be identical, the speedo won't line up at all, but the displayed units will be "close enough" that I will know if I am doing 50mph v 20mph v 100mph.
And finally, for my engine start button, I have a missile fire button from a British Harrier:
More pics, of course, as the project moves forward.
