Nice site... my KZ550 in its current config.... was created by kz550bob
Hi everyone, I bought this '81 in '86 as a young guy that couldn't afford a ninja... bought up everything I could afford to tweak it back in the 80's when it was still pretty easy to get:
DynaJet carb kits
DynaS Ignition
Mac header that I have "MotoGP'd"
Stainless brake lines
Clubman bar
Straight velocity stacks
Progressive works front springs
Aluminum fly screen --- me and my tin snips
Custom rearsets --- not as hard as they look. Grab an Enco lathe and a bridgeport!
Drilled rear brake drum
10 coats silver laquer... un rubbed for a satin look
I still have the old girl and have updated my stable with a ZX7-R... but this bike is still my favorite. Nice and forgiving and gets more looks than the zx7!
Great site! Bob

Nice job on the bike, really looks sharp.
Love the rearsets, nice work. You need to do a write-up on how you made those
