I snagged a 1975 KZ400 last weekend for $140 with no title, but a decent back story. Should be able to round up a title pretty easily...let's hope. My plan is to take a much more thorough and aggressive path than my last build. I hope to give this a tracker feel, with plenty of cafe kick.

Newest bike in all her crusty glory:
Oh yeah... check that bitch bar...
Like a before and after
After a scrubbing:
1.5 hours later:
And nestled away for a bit of a long sleep until I pulls some funds together...may be a while.
The plans:
-flat tracker tail
-gold paint, black stripe
-glossy black powdercoat on damn near everything
-custom 2-1 exhaust
-35mm forks with cartridge emulators and Progressive springs (probably CB550 or XS650)
-likely a custom billet top triple
-clip ons
-alloy swinger, possibly XT350 with mounts added
-Black powdered alloy rims with fresh spokes
-rear disc (hopefully)
-dual front disks, probably an XS hub
-2-1 intake and a single Mikuni VM34
-etc, etc, etc...
Like I said, it'll be a long slow road getting there, but this should be one bad ass 400...
