I'm not real sure, but he has some nice drags in his garage and I'm sure this one is going to get some proper love. I'll be hanging out with him abit so I'll be letting you know what happens to it.

that would be cool if you could. did you ever find out who was the original rider of that bike cause it definitly had some history behind it

The fella I got it from was David Vrablec. Unfortunately he could'nt tell me who rode it before him, he got it as a rolling chassis.

OK , I got the ebay turbo setup in. I can already see that I'm gonna have to do some repair work on the plenum and do something about this adapter he had between the carb and turbo. He said he had problems getting the bike he had it on to run right, one thing I can imagine is because everything is sealed with gasket sealer and no actual gaskets, so it must have been sucking air everywhere. But its a start foe me!

Cool. Looks like we are witnessing the birth of a real tire-shredder.

Its been awhile since I got a chance to wrench on the KZ. I had to move and had another spinal injections done about a week and a half ago. Last night I got bored and went to stripping her down a bit. The crappy yammy front end was barely on the bike with a single stem nut and one that was too big for the stem just sitting on top of that one. The wiring harness is scrap, I'm gonna see if the one on my 80 model chassis is good, if not I'm gonna look for a new one. The swingarm is missing a axle adjuster and had some weird spacers between the bolt and frame at the pivot. The rear wheel spacers were all odd ball spacers. Whoever originally built this bike this way was trying to commit suicide. I've decided to strip it down to the frame and have it braced and powder coated. Anyone got some good info on where to brace it, pictures would be awesome. Speaking of I'll shoot some shots of all the caos I unravelled so far. PEACE LOVE AND TURBO LAG!!!

ive got a couple ideas where to brace it,but ill let somebody else make some suggestions!

LOL. Thats funney.
I'm adding some more braceing to mine as well.

Sinners Saint
u would be better off useing the MK11 motor.
most of it will be an upgrade from the kz.
the crank center pin is stronger, and the cases are stronger.
