thanks guys, i got my hardtail kit from this site, there like 45 min from where i live but i ordered mine anyways lol didnt feel like driving, but its a cheap kit and it works well, we used this on my bike and my buddies kz440, it is not a direct fit kit, there will be lots of modification to get it to work, also gotta get the bike level on a level table and what not and get all your dimensions right, very tricky for somebody who has never done this before, im glad i had my buddy there to make sure i didnt mess up my bike lol i did all the work except the welding

Im doing the exact same thing.. but I used the bottom motor mount cross bar off the engine and welded it on the new frame. So we have a bottom motor mount and the front top motor mount. No need for the back mount now. Its solid. Btw I used this thread to get me started on the frame.. so thank you for the helpfull pics.. and good luck with your build..

ya know....i have never really been a fan of bobber's personally, but you may have just convinced me to go pick up a little kz and make one....
wouldn't dream of making my kz1000 project into one tho,.
