Plenty of fun 2 stroke twins also
I already have a two stroke, my boy doesn't want one!

No doubt about that!farmer92 said:For shame John,
A banshee/rz powered flat tracker would be the tits.

Build the boy a bad ass smoke show. And, tell him 'You don't always get what you want, you get what you need.'
Yes that's the biggest issue for sure!doc_rot said:I think the biggest bummer about the kz750 twin is the limited aftermarket support for the motors. There is some but not alot of options. No pistons.

johnu said:Ok I'm watching a kz750 right now it's a 1978 with spoked wheels and disc front and rear so I think I could lace up 19" rims to those hubs Does anyone know if the geometry is the same for all the kz750 models, the one I'm looking at has a cruiser look to it?
I found this as inspiration for the kz!
Thanks!doc_rot said:small difference to the passenger pegs, and brackets over the years.
81+ have lower sub frame top rails for the cruiser seat. I think the 76-79 were the "sportiest" the biggest differences are
'76-'79 - 26.5 rake 105mm trail
'80 - 27 rake 110 trail
'81+ - 28.5 rake 112 trail
but those numbers also could have been manipulated by the wheel and fork changes they did so who knows.
Link to your build please!doc_rot said:Cool! I am a fan of the kz750 because I like underdogs I guess and apparently these are really underrated motors because of a lame factory ignition and lean jetting from the factory which can both be rectified. I'm close to finishing mine can't wait to ride it.
:doc_rot said:lol, link to the build is in my signature below, Canyoncarver has a kz750 project of his own, link is in his sig.
johnu said:Thanks for all the help so far I keep thinking about the wheels and I wonder if I could use MX hubs laced to 19" rims? Only issue I see there is it would have to be single disc on the front.
