I sorted the shop issue ages ago :) Been busy with my other bikes though, been cleaning up my 750 Turbo and modified it a bit with some new items. Also been working on my other KZ750 with a full cosmetic make over...fresh paint, new Kerker 4-1, jetted the carbs, new tires, brakes, rebuilt foks...

Re: h2 racer kawayamazuki! Hell ya, sweet piece.

Still need to finish the shock mount and a few things on the subframe. Then onto the task of doing the swingarm, I'm a bit nervous....I dont have a way to bend the rectangular tube so I'm going to try notching it to form it. Then weld each notch and grind smooth so I can polish it. I'll be...

This is wicked, love the build.

I'm thinking that saving for a mill and a lathe is on the horizon lol. Here are a few more upto date pics. Still trying to decide on clipons or superbike style bars....I love the look with clipons, but I know my shoulder wont take riding it with them.

Its been a long time since I've welded anything more than just tacking in floor pans in rotten old cars. First few welds were not good at all, more like chicken shit really lol. Gettin back into it now though, once I got the feed rate in check it went much smoother...there was cursing involved...

Bit of an update. Got my sprockets :) Dragged a couple of KZ750 engines home from my sisters, she is nice enough to let me store extra bikes/parts in her shed lol. I'll be using the 750E bottom end ( on the right ) and the 750L top end. Started on my shock mount, I'll finish it up tonight.

Thanks for the positive comments guy's

Bump it on up, make an offer.

Re: h2 racer kawayamazuki! Those reed blocks are bitchin. My build thread is here in the cafe racer section.

Re: h2 racer kawayamazuki! Damn dude, this is some fine work. I'll be watchin for sure, I'm headed down a similar path with my build...but its a lowly 4 stroke. I'm 3 hours North/West of you.

Not much to update, been busy with Christmas/New Years. Ordered a 38T Supersprox Stealth rear sprocket, and a 16 tooth EX500 JTF512 front sprocket. The EX has the same output shaft splines/dimensions as the KZ650-750. So going from a HUGE 630 chain to a 520, hope this will liven up the...

I'm also pretty fond of Innis and Gunn, Oak Aged Beer from Scotland. I prefer the original, but the Rum Cask and the Blonde are quite tasty too.

My two favourites are Creemore Springs Premium Lager, they also brew a real nice Kellerbier that is above average.
