'78 KZ1000 makeover

Wow...... I got visited by nads! My thread is now complete, thanks to all from your help and guidance :silly:

I agree with you both, Leon and Mark, I think there's a solution to mod a Zephyr1100 or ZRX stainless header to fit a kz engine/chassis.
Leon, you better get that boat engine together before you screw around with Ti. I'll have a hard time explaining to my wife what your wive is doing at our house threatening to maim me because my bad influence ruined her summer!

adam,
i'm all over it buddy :laugh: .

i found a pic on the internet that i thought you might enjoy.

I recognize that Showa fork. That bike looks a lot like what I had originally envisioned for my project. Minus the SSSA.

Supersize this picture. I think I see the corner of the battery peeking out from under that seat. I doubt it would fit in the fuel tank unless it was one of those tiny LiPo batteries.

I've got no excuses Josh :blush: Now that I have a working tig machine, I just need to settle down and finish going over my welds, clean things up and paint the frame. The lower end is waiting on a Z1 crank, at which point I will assemble the engine. I've got some things in the works that should allow me to pick up a set of Keihin FCR's :woohoo: I need to get down to the paint store and pick up some epoxy primer and some single stage polyurethane paint, since powdercoating in the color I want will be prohibitively expensive.

What color?

Dark metallic bronze to match the forks...the powder coaters wanted a $250 minimum, plus extra for the special color, plus extra to clearcoat the color since it was an "interior" rated color. I'll just paint the damn thing and save myself a few hundred $$$ that can go into my carbs :woohoo:
