I need inspiration.

working to make mine look like this.

Nice. Every bike, well most, have cafe potential and this one seems to have more than its fair share.

Where can I get the Martini shaker caps for the exhaust? I don't like the megaphone look.

Here's a pic of the before! I'm gonna time myself and see how long it takes to do it up completely.

I have replaced my 2-1 with 2-2 with harley sportster mufflers, hardest part was finding new headers. Stock sportster mufflers are hella easy to find for cheep on ebay. here a linc that talks about using sportsers

Mine so far:

I should have updated pics of it in my build thread (in the Big Arse Projects section) once the fenders are on tonight.

I have a 79, and this is inspiration enough for me.

Wow,I never thoughT a KZ400 could look that racy!
I'd love to see a KZ750 twin done up EXACTLY like that one! 8)

I like the usage of the stock cowl on that blue 79

[valvesprung]

Did you ever manage to get that single carb dialed really well? What size is it?

 

[billetproofcustoms]

Yes, I stepped down to a 35mm, the original 36mm was just too big, could never get it leaned out enough.
runs fine now..

 

[valvesprung]

Cool. Did you have to lean it down enough to make you think maybe a 34mm would be a good fit?
