Nice! Very similar to what I had in store for my '81. I am swapping out the front end for a '05 Honda CBR600-RR front end, though. For the swing arm bracing I have bent up the same size tubing as the stock swing arm. I noticed you went with a smaller diameter tube - due to chain clearance?

Hey man,

totally love the bike! Looks like a lot of work - that paid off though!

I'm building a cafe racer based on a kz650 with the engine of the kz750, including big bore kit to 810cc. Using Mikuni BS34 with K+N Filters.

I saw that you installed the dyojet kit. Would you mind sharing a link to the specific ones you are using? I guess I'm too dumb to find the right ones on their site...

www.dynojet.com/jetkits/motorcycle/jetki...torcycle&vm=kawasaki

Did you get the 2102 or 2135?

Would really appreciate!!

Greetings from Hamburg, Germany.

Keep posting pictures please :-)

Regards,
Patrick
