'78 KZ1000 makeover

Cleavis and Butthead. :laugh: :woohoo: :laugh: :woohoo: :laugh:

oh yeah!!!!!!!!!!
sorry adam.

if i'm cleavis,

guess who that makes you :woohoo: :silly: :lol: !!!!!

just sayin' :huh: .

leon

:laugh: :laugh: I was thinking the same thing when I read "cleavis"! :laugh: :laugh:

I'm the Butthead that needs a Clevis :laugh:

Finally got some time in the garage. I welded up the threaded tubing caps (have I mentioned how cool tig welding is? :woohoo: ) and made the right side bracket. This is all for you Leon 'ol buddy. I may perhaps get a little out of it too




If I get time tomorrow, I'll make the left side tab and tack weld the tabs in place. I want to put a tail on with the seat and tank to check the lines of the bike before I weld the tabs permanently. Have a great weekend guys

You too Adam! Looking good

thats awsome. I hope to get mine apart and go wild this winter if my budget and time permit

Thanks Marneman, I hope you are having a great couple of days off I was able to get the left clevis tab cut out, fit and tacked in place. I tell ya, a plasma cutter is awesome when cutting tabs out of 3/8" steel plate! Woulda been nice to have earlier in the project :whistle:


MUCH cleaner that the last one I hacked together


Overall, it looks 1000% better.




Well Leon, does it meet the "Blackbanshee Seal of Approval"? :laugh:

You going crazy, or playing it safe and easy?

I have always been crazy but with that said I ride a goldwing with a single kehin from 1340 harley lol no my intentions are a 300 tire mod and freshin the motor up but with me throwin it together to ride til winter I know once I start who knows where it will end

I know EXACTLY what you mean! Can you believe that this build started out as a simple valve adjustment??? Murphy's Law took over and here I am! :blink: :laugh:

I know exactly what you mean by the way love the "franken Z" you should incorperate that into the paint scheme. I bought a swingarm last month to go to a 180 tire until I actually saw a pic of a 300 now I am hooked a guy I work with rode to the ky derby hooked up with a couple old school bikes he has a newer GSXR and all he could talk about was the guy on the KZ with the 300 lol
