Frisco'd KZ400 II

Postby bicycleguy on Sun Dec 04, 2011 1:45 pm

I've been itching to build up another motorcycle so when I saw this KZ400 for a steal I knew I had to have it. It was a pretty clean bike that had never been dumped and it was last registered in '07 so I felt a little bad tearing it down and cutting it up but my porta-band just couldn't resist. :D Here's my KZ I built up last winter http://ratrodbikes.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=36871, I want something with the same style but change up a few things along the way also.

The last KZ

I'd rather watch this than American Chopper. Less drama and looks cooler.

I have the next 2 weeks off school for Christmas break so hopefully I can get most of it mocked up pretty soon.

I finished up the fender mount, made a seat pan and lowered the forks 3.5". I don't know about the apes though...

Looks good but those apes make it look uncomfortable to ride. I'd try some drag bars on it and see how it feels.
