1980 KZ 1000 LTD

So here is the project,,,,,,I posted all the shit about this bike. Doing it my own way…Heres what i have now….motor pulled at with Joe Hooper at Pitstop performance. Total overhaul of brakes and the painted body kit for Z1 Ent….will need a full wiring job, but bought all the harnesses needed and found a place to wire bike. 34 flat slide mikunis, delkevic header. Pretty much all of this bike will be new parts…cant wait to shred some rubber

Looking great already. I'm curious to know how you like the Delkevic with/without the baffles.

That looks nice. I will be doing something similar. I have a 1975 Z1 engine that will be going into a 1980 Kz1000 LTD frame. I noticed you have the rear MC conversion. Were did you purchase it. Is that a Brembo MC.

Very nice paint, and I like the chrome torque bar!  Looks like you don't plan to use the rear fender.

Thanks for the kudos…to answer a ?  The rear master cylinder is the aftermarket kit from Johnys vintage cycles…caliper is stock….bike sat for 14 yrs….my bro rebuilt the front and back calipers…front bled quick…rear after 2 days and a qt of dot 4 i said someting wong…lol…one piston was frozen….finally got it out…waiting on full rebuild kit from Englad…ohh boy lets see here…had to source full elec harness…just goes on and on but plan is to be smokn some back tire by summer…

master cylinder is Johnnys vintage cycles aftermarket kit…had to buy a clevis pin from the and cut some threads from brake rod but made it work
 

Ya I saw that MC kit on Johnnys site but says they are sold out. I will probably design something similar using a Brembo MC.

Nice project, same bodywork I used on my 78a
