Honda or not....I think it's sweeeeet.....

Shoe,

I love the Ascots, I had a shot at a v-twin model but the seller had a change of heart. I would still like to get one. I didn't know they had some performance parts for the single model, there seems to be next to nothing for the v-twin. Maybe I should look for a single ?


Would you upload some close ups somewhere, full size?

as long as its a bike,and not a civic with nos stickers plastered all it ive got no problem!

Beautiful bike. Too bad it's not a Kaw though

Some of the Single Cyl. Ascot HP parts are no long around,, Like the Exhaust pipe .. Riding a Thumper is a love all its own,, You either like it or not ,, My everday bike is a Black 82 FT500 Ascot Gets almost 70 MPG so I ride it most ,, Performance is not anywhere near what a KZ650 would be,, But I like it ,, The Bike I built in the Picture is about a step down from a full blow race bike ,, Flat track or in my case Street Tracker ,, It should be in the 40hp range maybe a little more ,, It weighs in the 275# range ,, Think of the weight to HP ratio then how light it will handle Very Cool bike , I am still working the Bugs out as I am getting very close to hitting the mark with all the warm weather we had here in Ohio Looks like that is over now though .. Wheelie machine in low gear at will.. I know it will pull Most Harleys off the line at traffic lights ..Looking forward to that , Thanks for all the great comments .. Keep the Shiny side up , Now that I have figured out pics on here I will post more of the Kawasakis I have Dave:

Beautiful job.
Have an 82 here.
Daily.
Great city bike.
Wish partz were not so expensive.
You need an exhaust?

I would love to find another supertrapp , I have a Cobra F1 on my daily rider ..

thats a nice ride , love it! good work.

Shoe looks like an interesting bike,ideal for the back roads around my place

OK, will keep eye out. Nothing fancy here. Just a spare stock. Pretty beat up but useable.
