Rotten Egg says Hi (from Florida)
28 Jun 2011 02:03
Hey all,
Cool site.
Brand new here, so I figured I introduce myself.
I'm not new to bikes or builds, or wrenchin in general, but I'm new to working on or customizing Jap bikes.
My last project was a 72 triumph that I did a bunch of stuff to, before that I built a harley soft tail chopper.
Anyway, just picked up a '76 kz900, & I have some plans for customizing it a bit.
Now it's almost all stock, & in pretty good shape.
Here's a few pics of how it looks now.

Thanks Ryan.
After my little bio, I thought people might want to see may last project.
It's not a Kawasaki, so I hope it's allowed.

KZ does look good. Care to share your intentions with her? The Triumph is a piece of work. Bet ya got bugs in your armpits! :woohoo: While I like dem bobbers not fond of apes or hardtails although I can appreciate the work and the looks. Nice job!

Take it from me cuz I found
If you leave it then somebody else is bound,
To find that treasure, that moment of pleasure,
When yours, it could have been.

Thanks.
No bugs in "the pits"
Actually, that riding position is very comfy. Also, that Triumph is so light (at least 1/3 lighter than my KZ), that the soft tires & seat springs make for a nice ride.
As for my plans on the KZ, I am inspired by a bike I came across in the gallery of this site (I think), and will end up with a very similar look.
Hope the owner don't mind, if anyone knows anything about this particular bike or has any more pics, I'd appreciate the info.
Here's the bike:
