Hi,
New to the site and starting to feel my way around. I am a marine electronics tech on the west coast of FL and I build one-off bikes in my spare time. I own a 1985 Kawasaki Eliminator that I have completely modified. It now has a ZRX1200 motor, ZX9 front end, stretched Busa rear end, air shifter, etc. It was a feature bike in the September '09 issue of Streetfighters. A 2003 Yamaha Warrior that is putting 98 hp at the wheel and was a feature bike in the October '10 issue of Roadbike Magazine. A 1996 ZX9 that I am in the process of building into a streetfighter. Just waiting for the parts to come back from powder coating. And, a 1976 KZ900 with a 1075 kit and a Supercharger. This is my next project. It's pretty plain right now, but that will change. I already can see the finished bike in my head.

Oh No! Another Mike from Florida who builds custom bikes. :P Just kidding, welcome to KZR! Quite the collection you have there. Looks like you could teach us a few things. Be sure to start a build thread. We like to watch.

DANG!!!! Those look amazing. Well done. Do you do the work yourself, or have it done for you? +1 for starting a build thread.

I do all of my own work with a little help from a machine shop when I need it. The supercharged KZ was built by a friend of mine, but I plan to completely change it. I'm in the process of building two other bikes right now and will start on the KZ when they are finished. Thanks for the compliments.
