Wow, sweetness. Can´t say I know anything about the Motoplast frame, but it looks very similar to the Moto Martin frames - here´s a link to their site (in French unfortunately), click "Kawasaki" in the menu to the left to see some pics:

does anybody have a picture of how the motor mounts are in one of these frames?im guessing they use some sort of top motor mount.

Chadams,
Don't know where you're from, but please keep posting. This project ROCKS!

Hi guys,

I'm Fabrizio from Italy (Motoplast and other frame-builders country) and I have lots of informations about Motoplast frame for all bikes (Kawasaki, Laverda, Suzuki and so on)
I still own a Motoplast and will be happy to help special bikes enthusiasts all over the world to know pictures and data about the above bikes.

I am not able to post shots but if somebody like to have pics about my Motoplast or Motoplast catalogue send a private message to my e-mail adress:

my garage website is:

Best regards.

You will be getting an e-mail from me- post haste!

I am a frame builder here in Alaska- and am building two frames right now- a ducati style trellis frame for a KZ750 twin- I call it the "ducasaki" and a soft tail style frame with the same motor- I will be very happy to speak to you at great detail about that frame- I was thinking it was NOT for the Kaw- because of the motor placement and the need for motormounts- but it could be a poor angle from my view?

sorry guys I have not been around a while, moved house, flat out at work..

A little progress on the build, I now have a wiseco 1105 kit sitting in the garage and the barrels have been bored and honed. The head has been cleaned up too and the shims done.

I should have some more progress picks going up in about a month.

Fabrizio I'll be send you an email.

I got some info from a guy in south oz, i have uploaded it to the file data base.

enjoy.

He wrote me back- seems we are of a kind- I hope he posts here often, with lots of pics of those frames! Italy, IMHO are the best bike builders in the world, with the sexiest bikes- I love it when they use donor bikes LIke our Zs especially- let's all write him and encourage him to post lots and lots of pics of his shop and archives!

Finally made a little progress

Motor's in the frame.
Suspension is on.
