welcome jason.
a project thread is a good thing to help people keep up with what you are doing,and to document your build.

what part of oklahoma are you in?

i live in skiatook and work in tulsa.

Currently live in stillwater. But im moving to denver in the fall. This is my first bike build. Before i was more of a drag car fan but iv been riding since i was 8 and decided i might as well do a bike next since they are cheaper and faster. Then my friend had an old kz650 that his dad hot rodded back in high school so its got a few aftermarkets and runs good but looks like hell so for 500 bucks i picked up a perfect cafe project

Wellcome from another Newbie. I will follow along with your build as I am interested in turning my newly aquired KZ1000CSR into something similar to a Mad Max style bike,

this isn't necessarily a mad max style.
