Hello from Cowtown. Here's my little KZ400 I've been riding and building of for the past year. Still lots to do but I'm getting there. The first pic is where I'm at right now, 2nd pic of my headlight/speedo that I assymbled out of various off the shelf materials, and the 3rd pic is a Photoshop'd pic of where I should be in the next few weeks, I'm in the process of welding a new screw on gas cap to the RD400 tank and I just finished making a similar seat section out of fiberglass. The look I'm going for is if a Brat bike had unholy sex with a Cafe Racer. Really inspired by some of the Gravel Crew bikes and the stuff WrenchMonkees is building. Still lots to do, I need to get some rear sets figured out and I will probably switch out to clip-ons here in the near future, I'm also changing the gearing a little so i can run on the highway a little easier. I had her up to 85 but I was afraid I was going to send a piston through the cases, plus some other odds and ends. Its a fun little bike for blasting around town, but I've already figured I need something bigger and faster. Good to meet you all and hopefully I can meet up with some of you guys for a ride or two.
