Thanks guys. Here is a picure of the front for you. What are you looking for specifically? I have heard that KZ650 forks are 1" shorter. If I had an extra set of those I would probably do that so I could get the front end even lower. This picture is old, and there has been more work done up here, but Oh well...

The other thing that I did recently was add the chrome headlight brow. That sure did make a huge difference. I put on a custom tail light from drag specialties as well. Stay tuned, this thing is going to be way cool.

Here is one more pic... Think cafe's are comfortable? Think again! I bet you guys sit in your driveways on empty frames making broom broom noises too. It's ok. Go ahead and admit it. ;)

Here is one more picture for you. It is an older picture and as I have mentioned before, there has been a lot more work done since this point. It is all I have right now. Enjoy.

Ok. Still a long way to go from finished on this project. It is kinda the 80/20 rule. 80% done, but the last 20% takes the most time. Still needs controls, shorter front brake lines, chain gaurd, carbs, cleaners, front tire, and an electrical system... Got some more finishing details to add that will be a surprise for ya. Whats you thinks?

Mac pipes are ok. They are cheap and easy to install. I have had a couple. The chrome blues pretty bad by the head... Bottom line is that there is nothing else available, so in that case, they are wonderful!!!!

The kz650SR 78-79 came with a chrome chain guard. I have seen them several times on ebay and pretty reasonable too. Sweet ride BTW, my lil 650 is a little dirtier!
If its got t*ts or tires sooner or later your gonna have problems!
