project planning was created by exoskel
Hello all! Once winter comes around, I plan on changing the look of my 79 kz750.

I am looking for any problems/suggestions you have for me regarding this.

I was thinking of chopping the back end of the frame off, remounting the signals, tail light, reshaping the seat, lowering the seat, getting new handlebars, and painting everything.

As I said above, any suggestions or warnings? My dad, two brothers and I will be working on this. The old man used to enduro race, and has great knowledge of welding, engines, electrical....

If nothing elses, this thread exists to get my butt in gear!

cheers.

hows this for an example of cutting down the back of the frame? Turn signals, not necessary! My frame is a 79 kz650 with a 750 motor, but the frames are close.
