You have the McCulloch paint color already and that was a personal preference, same for the emblems.

My choice would be the KZ900 tags to go with a sleeper theme, but it's your bike so choose what you like.

Dating ourselves here that we even remember this stuff.  Coming out of left field, too, as only vaguely related to OP.

We've believed for a long time that a Frankenstein-on-a-Z variation of 'Big Daddy'  Ed Roth's 'Rat Fink' character would serve a purpose for 'Frankenbike' builds, of which there are many.



It could somehow retain the iconic 'DOHC' moniker, but replace the displacement digits with some variation the mentioned character.  Could be challenging to make it small enough to be appropriate, but some custom / Frankenbike builders might embrace it.

Neither of us have an artistic bone in our bodies to realize such a thing.  Just blowin' smoke from a pipe dream...

Good Ridin'
