I would like to thank Dave for a opportunity to showboat the bike for a month.
There are a bunch of folks here that really deserve to have their bikes showcased, you know who you are, so what if she isn't perfect, mine sure ain't, just use a crappy camera ;)
We love the mountains and deserts but if you are really looking curves and elevation changes the Smoky Mountain area, Tennessee, Kentucky and North Carolina have the most technical roads we have ridden to date, try to ride them weekdays if you can.
Motorhead told me that Oregon has great roads around Bend, next year maybe.

Well I might as well milk this for all it's worth, " Live to ride ride to live"

Welcome to APRIL !!!!!!!
And a surprise for Davido
On this day we call April Fools Day Ha, Ha
I am now picking some of our BOTMs from public pictures posted here on KZRider
So as members keep a eye out for me as I will be sharing your bikes as Bikes of the Month..
Sneaky Am I not LOL
Davido 's bike a KZ 1000 CSR Custom is a real beauty and I have been hoping to do a feature on it for some time
I like how he shorted up the seat and made use of the Duckbill.
Great Job David !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Perhaps you will share your knowledge of the Bike build
Congratulations Buddy

Wow,thanks Dave, Im honoured. A nice surprise indeed. The bike is still pretty much as it stands here. I did bin the hydraulic clutch though as I just couldnt get it working right and I replaced the handlebars with a narrower set,though I need to lift them a bit as the cables are a bit cramped . I packed the exhaust baffle a couple of weeks ago and though its still very loud,its not quite so harsh sounding. If anybody has the interest, ( and nothing better to do with their time) theres a link to the build is in my signature. Be warned though,its five years,or so, of posts,so its looong.
Thanks again

I really like Davido's bike and the job he did on the duckbill. He did an amazing job on this fine piece. :-)
