Voodoosoup's 78' KZ 650 makeover.

What's wrong with the swing arm tabs? Are they cracked or are you just looking to upgrade the shocks?

I like that color, orange is my favorite color.

Do you need a matching rear wheel? I have a gpz 750 wheel if you want it. It is an Enkei 18" by 2.50 tubeless and looks similar to your front wheel. It needs some cleanup but it's straight. There is no cush-drive or sprocket hub and I don't know if the one from the 650 will match up.

Free plus shipping or you can pick it up. I'm in Chicago. It was given to me by another member here who got it from another member, my friend's plans for his kz400 changed so I can't use it.

Obviously it would take some fabbing to get the disk brake setup.

I need to get tabs welded on the early zx-6 swingarm that I'm going to be swapping onto my bike. It's a monoshock swingarm and has no tabs for my dual shocks.

Thanks for the offer, I have a matching 16" drum rear already. I just need to get my swingarm welded before I can put it on. If that doesn't work I'm going to get a late 80's zx-6 disk rear setup and put rearsets on.

Thanks brich.

I can't wait to get it finished either!!
I should have my seat back around the 19th and I'm hoping to get the swingarm stuff done after I get back from Mid-Ohio.

I bet that seat will be freakin awesome! Looks great, I would like to do a longer swingarm on my 650 but I think that will have to wait a little.

Got the seat back today.

That seat really looks great, most of the seats i've seen look like hack jobs but that one is awesome.
