YEEEAAHH!!! SWEEEET!

Here's some more. I've already stripped a few things off of it, going for that sleek, streamlined look. I already know that I want to do a fork/swingarm conversion, juice the motor up a smidge, and add a few other cool bits here and there. Feel free to give suggestions/advice

Welcome Jaysanity! Spend time with Mark Wing's 650 if you want to see what you can do with a 650...

Yeah I'll definatley do that. About a month ago I bought a 1980 KZ750 Twin off craigs list for $300 delivered, it needs a new clutch cable, seat, left and right starter/turn signal assembly, and some general TLC but it runs good ( in neutral that is, need the clutch cable before I can run it through the gears ) and dosn't have a single oil leak. After looking at it for a while I decided to give it to my best friend, he's been wanting to learn how to ride for a while and I swear to god you couldn't ask for a better friend, he's saved my ass more times than I care to think about, so putting my selfish feelings aside I handed over the keys and the look on his face-priceless. Ever since then I've been reading through this forum and love all the stuff that guy's are doing to there bikes and, well, I got bit by the KZ bug, so I searched for the type that I wanted and in the process realized that it is raining KZ's here in Omaha. During the two week period that I had to wait for payday I saw about seven KZ's all 75-80 yearwise, three were 1000's and one was actually a Z1 1000, none of them were more than $1300 and they all ran. Here's a pic of my buddies ride in it's kinda sad state.

Here's one more

I believe that in every Kaw, there is potential.

Good luck and welcome.
