Judging from the info in his sigline, I believe the engine is from an '83 KZ250, and the rest of the bike is a '66 Wards Riverside.

The frame, tank and rear fender are all Wards Riverside.
The engine is 83 kz250, rear wheel is from a Yamaha dirt bike, the front wheel's ducati, Harley seat, Homemade wire harness, Hella foglight (not in yet) Custom drag bars, and a Triumph muffler. Custom stainless header.
I don't know what the carb came from, that's an ebay special. Same goes for the sprockets.
And I don't remember where I found the shocks.
