ok, here goes. Hi all im Astro, from Davenport Florida. Ive got a 77 kz650 bobber/chopper, whatever you wanna call it. I got razzed on the forum for my 750 nighthawk chop. I hope y'all are a little more friendly to us that cant keep a sawzall away from perfectly good bikes otherwise. im actually trying to find a new frame and restore my kz... i already screwed up the 'hawk too bad to redo it plus it runs so i hope i can find some friends in here that are fellow kz nuts

I'm not a fan - at all - but I know there are some other guys here who like that sort of thing so I'm sure you'll hear from them shortly.

PS Choppers suck. ;)

Welcome to KZr Astro. :)

I'm not much of a fan of choppers or bobs either since my old back simply can't handle the riding position :pinch:, but it looks like you did a pretty clean job in converting that 650 into a rigid chop. B)
