Your project looks KILLER!!!! I am particularly paying attention to how you dealt with the seat. I may pick your brains about that...

You're giving me inspirations on how to deal with my KZ650.

Very nice, I like the color combo w/pinstripes and the attention to detail.

By the way, want is the brand/size of the gauges? I am looking for a similar look.

Gotta love a kz that thing looks sweet really like the paint and the dash I'm sorry you had to drill a hole by hand ;D As I build mine with a 4 inch grinder I too would also like to know more about the gauges.

Sounds good How much do you have left? I cant wait to hear mine run. Keep it up.

needs some carbie tweeking but shes starting first kick, riding smooth, shifting fine, braided brake lines and new pads are working great.



New braided lines and master cylinder....

Gold chain - bling!

not quite finished - im putting the stock airbox in because the pod filters are not playing nice. Its leaning out and nowhere near smooth.

but thats it for now - ill register it when i get some more cash.

Is it just me/the light or is the rear end a bit crooked?

Looks like the tail is off to the right a bit... other than my eyes possibly playing tricks on me, that's a realllly nice build.

yeah the seat wasnt strapped down in that pic. I have a velcro starp that holds it in place now.

AWESOME build! Where did you get the seat cowl and which one was it? That style looks great on KZ's. Could you do a full side shot? Thanks!
