A little update. Changing focus to my TR1 has provided some benefits. I'm actually fairly close to completing the kz! I'm In talks with Les for custom trips and rear sets. Once That is all wrapped up and in my hands I will switch gears to the KZ to finish it.

1. It allows me to do a mind reset.

2. In my TR1 I build I rebuilt the harness and learned a lot of good things for when I do it to the kz. The yamaha is a lot more difficult than the kawi If you have experience with the old Yamaha electrical you know what I mean.

3. The shop tools increased. Bought a bench sander. Welder and new paint products. All these things make bike building so much easier. I cant believe I used to file by hand...lol.

Oh I forgot.. Z1r fron fairing on its way. B)

It's winter now. Just got to get the parts going to finish. Been tossing around new manifold ideas too.

That bike is my tr1 build.

This is the most intensive build thread I've seen on here so far, lol so much detail and inspiration. Fuckin long ass process, but
everything looks badass... I think the perfect jacket to go with the bike would be www.motorcyclehouse.com/vikingcycle-ange...e-jacket-for-men.htm ... Check it out and let me know what oyu think :p

Thanks. There are much more crazier builds than mine, perhaps mine is slightly more radical though.

An update Les is going to build me custom trips and I decided to go with his rear sets. Until I get those items I wont be spending time on the kz.

It's funny about the jacket. I actually have a full mad max style set-up that I roll.

So it's been a bit quiet but I'm ramping up again here. I have my intake manifold off to the machine shop for a redesign to support the super b carb. That should be 2 weeks. The seat I dropped off to get redone to fit the narrower and shorter length that shoulbe be less than two weeks. I started to buy stuff for the wiring. Since this bike is on the shorter path compared to my Tr1 I will start re-focusing on it.

I solved the tank hitting the triple tree as I designed new mounts with hockey pucks of all things..lol

I have a whole bunch of little things to do but its actually fairly close to being finished from the grand scheme of things.

So the seat shop wanted 600 for redoing the seat and trimming the pan. Fork that!

They said it was more for them to recover the vinyl than make from new. And 150 for new foam which I think is horse shit too.

Based on that I pick it back up today so I can make a new pan myself. I will probably buy my own foam too and lay it. I just can't sew at all.

yeah that sounds like the f#@k off it ain't worth our time price. :sick:

surely you can find a local upholstery shop that can knock that right out of the park and NOT charge an arm and a leg.

I think they were milking me on labor, I will call around. They have done a few of my seats but this time they are ripping me off. The seat better made out of gold for that much! Funny thing mike bike DID have gold plating on it before I started..lol. I watched $700 of plating melt and sand away. :whistle: :lol:

I will make a new pan for who ever is doing it so I dont hear about these stupid prices.

Hey thanks for that I will look into that! Is gel any good on top of foam? I can get it on ebay for decent prices.
