So here is the project,,,,,,I posted all the shit about this bike. Doing it my own way…Heres what i have now….motor pulled at with Joe Hooper at Pitstop performance. Total overhaul of brakes and the painted body kit for Z1 Ent….will need a full wiring job, but bought all the harnesses needed and found a place to wire bike. 34 flat slide mikunis, delkevic header. Pretty much all of this bike will be new parts…cant wait to shred some rubber

Looking great already. I'm curious to know how you like the Delkevic with/without the baffles.

Is this thing working? Is this thing on?

That looks nice. I will be doing something similar. I have a 1975 Z1 engine that will be going into a 1980 Kz1000 LTD frame. I noticed you have the rear MC conversion. Were did you purchase it. Is that a Brembo MC.

Very nice paint, and I like the chrome torque bar!  Looks like you don't plan to use the rear fender.

I have several restored bikes along with a 2006 Goldwing with a sidecar. My wife has a 2019 Suzuki DR 650 for on and off road.

Ya I saw that MC kit on Johnnys site but says they are sold out. I will probably design something similar using a Brembo MC.
