78 kz1000 street killer project.. figured id start documenting

well here she is. bought her for 700 bucks in semi rough shape but running ok. going to be a 9 sec street killer and track toy.

heres where im at so far.

+6 swingarm drag bars and dyna s igniton with coils, mps tether kill eliminated the stock wiring harness, blinkers, tach and speedo cluster as well as everything else useless like ignition ect.

plans are rc comps 1075 kit with 410 cams 12.5:1 comp headwork got my vance and hines pro pipe getting the 34mm mikuni rs flatslides fabbing some wheelie bars my self as well as an air shifter ect. should be badass

adobe cs3 works wonders

cool,but if you want it to be a 9 second streetfreak that you can still ride id suggest a something more along the lines of an 1197 versus a 1075.the 1197 is going to be a lot more streetable and reliable in my experiance than what you are going to need to do to the 1075 to make the same power .id also reccomend aiming for the 10-11 second range which is awfully quick for a legitimate streetbikeB)

plummen i hear ya, but theres no way im having my bike be slower than my car haha. also my previous was a cbr954rr and that is faster than 10-11 secs also

its gotta go 9s or ill junk it hehe. i want somethign that will smash r1s and whatnot with relative ease. i really dont care if its terrible to street drive as it wont go far, just to the pike and back on the weekends, and lvd on wednesday nights and some saturdays

i was told to stay away from the 1197 kit due to the bore size pretty much maxing out the usable thickness of the sleeves. if im going to go bigger than 1075 i will go with a big bore like 1300cc of better.

thanks for the advice though

no problem.if you use suzuki sleeves it leaves plenty of meat with the 1197.anything bigger than that and youre into a bigblock with its own issues.here in the midwest with our crappy air it takes a whole lot of $$$$$$$$$$$$s and motor to hit the 9s :laugh:

That's just how I started.Then it went to more and more and more til you end up with something like this.Best run 9.24@149 with 1.24 60' times....All on a little breathed on cammed 1075 motor with trons.. Keep up the work and you'll get there with a little work,off to a good start...Chris.
