looks better kicked up.

thank you. Heres a pic they didn't use for some reason. I crawled up a tree to take this.

Got some new photos and a write up over at Pipeburn. https://pipeburn.com/kawasaki-kz750-custom/

3d printed a plug, took a positive off that and glassed it in. I decided to make a few minor cosmetic improvements as well since i was using fiberglass. I filled both vents on the fairing lower with scrap from my old fairing. I also made a inner fender/panel for the tail. I feel like it cleaned...

looking good.

the bags are gonna tie it all together. fantastic work.

Did a 2 day event at Oregon Raceway Park this weekend. Its a really fun track, a bunch of elevation change and blind corners. They run it the opposite direction on day 2 to keep it interesting. I was feeling really comfortable on the bike, and have gotten a lot more confident with passing people...

Bike looks great. The new rear fender and seat really clean it up.

I like to think of myself as a "Sunk Cost Enthusiast" AKA "Lets spend an hour fixing a Chinese radiator that was had for $30" The port was partially crushed when I attempted to bend it, so after i cut it off i hammered it on a form to get it a little more round before cutting it short and...

First day at the track was a complete success - the new engine performed flawlessly and is a major improvement. The old engine would fall on its face after 8k, now it makes power all the way to red-line and watching the needle fly from 8-10k is crazy, Ive had to adjust my style to keep up with...

I offered it up to the SV and the fitment is off and it wont go in. One of the coolant ports is 3/4" too long. also the overflow nipple is facing the wrong direction. We'll see what they want to do about a refund, I may just cut the port off and re-weld it.

always a fun time and was cool to see other DTT bikes there!

The bike is buttoned up. Cranked it up and started right away. Played with the fuel screws and synced the carbs. It sounds awesome with the cam swap!

I'm with Adventurco - tail is too short, stubby doesn't "look" fast to me. I would also put something on there to act as a placeholder for the upholstery as that will change the visual mass, silhouette, and proportions. The upholstery will also make a difference to the riding position if you end...

simple green works great and is very mild.
