Welcome. Cool stuff. How cool is a dual cabled, dual drum brake.
You are from over the pond?
I have just sold some KZ parts to Austria and New Zealand
That cyle looks like it should be on an episode of "cafe racer"
I dig your own exhaust! Is that stainless or titanium? I can't make out the writing on the material.
Do you guys have the cable TV motorcycle shows?
Is your shop on one of them?

Nice work, I enjoy modified and hand built stuff myself.

Thanks for sharing.

Marty in the USA in New York State
Livin in "CheektaVegas, NY
Went thru 25 of these in 40 yrs.
I SOLD OUT! THE KAW BARN IS EMPTY.
More room for The Old Girl, Harley 75 FLH Electra Glide,

Does the front brake use two cables?

Yep from the right side of the pond :-) Denmark!!!
Thank you.... how do i move it??

The exhaust is stainless and gonna be 2x 2in1 - love the unbalance sound when you split them!!!

Front fork is from a Suzuki GT 750 4ls, thats why there is 2 cables- one for each side!!

Yep its the oil cooler i've mounted in front/side of the engine - trying to but as much as low as possible to get the best handling of the bike!!!

Did'nt have the time for the caferacer tv, and actually havn't seen it yet...

How do i convert the chain down to 520/525 - think it need to run 18/38-40 or whats your opinion???
Have 1197cc Wiseco etc!!!

love all the fab work sir.
you have tied the sub frame together very well.that should help alot.

you are going to need some conversion sprockets.

do you need to have any offset in the countershaft sprocket?

p.s.

while the site rules about advertising may prevent "him" from telling you the shop name he works for.
it is okay for "me" to tell you he works at wrenchmonkees.
