New guy in Chicago
27 Nov 2010 08:10
Just bought a 1977 KZ900. Plan on turning it into a cafe racer/street fighter.
I've gotten lots of good info here and have some real good ideas. Here's a list of what i want to do so far. Let me know what you think. Not sure if all is possible so your comments would be appreciated.
Tank and bubble seat from airtech
wiseco 1075 kit
gsxr front end w/ ohlins bits
wider rear tire w/ disc
brembo brakes for both
ohlin's rear shocks
new swingarm(not sure which yet)
clip-on bars
wire wheels
Lots of little things left out but I'm sure you get the picture.
Going for a Black & Gold look.
Gold wheels, forks, shocks, & a few other little bits.
Black tank, seat, engine case, frame, exhaust....
